dd2 has a little friend called Honor Rose

LuLuBai · 12/03/2009 15:32

I like Liberty and Honor a lot

You have to be careful as names like 'Patience' can be rather hard to carry off if the bearer doesn't always match the name.

My sis is Felicity. She doesn't like it.
She once told a boy she was called another name (her middle name) so when he phoned for her he was told by Mum "no-one here by that name". H

I had a great great aunt called Mercy, always thought that sounded lovely.

Cleanliness?

Vile name for a child though!
