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

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

bridgetreilly · 21/04/2020 13:10

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

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

Constance, Honor, Charity my favourites.

LotusClover · 21/04/2020 15:58

Liberty is my favourite! Consider these too:

Felicity
Harmony
Justice

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

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