Felicity is lovely !

I really can’t understand why people like Constance? It sounds like a mix of “Constipation” and “incontenance” to me

Perhaps the rest of the world isn't as obsessed with their bowels as you appear to be?

Liberty is my favourite! Consider these too:

Felicity
Harmony
Justice

@bridgetreilly thank you. Shortlist are Felicty, Joy and Amity after discussing with DH. I think Felicity is my personal favourite

Also, some people have very weird ideas about what virtues are! Journey? Lux? Chance?

bridgetreilly · 21/04/2020 13:09

Yes, all of those would work for a person who will only be a baby for a short fraction of her life.

Wow thank you all.

I really like Honor, Felicity, Liberty, Joy & Amity.

Do you think Honor or Joy would work for a baby?

Constance is my absolute fave but I'm not sure it goes with our surname

@ErrolTheDragon and most likely inaccurate when they’re an adult! Wink

ErrolTheDragon · 20/04/2020 22:50

A bit OT but I'm curious, why is it always (afaik) spelled the American was Honor as a name instead of Honour?

Chastity seems like an awful name to give a child. Irrelevant when they're little, maybe embarrassing as a teen.
