There was one at school who was a real sex bomb I think people sniggered at the sheer inappropriateness of her having that name.

That aside I am on the fence with it. Usually really like non top 10 names but not sure the sound of it is particulary attractive and it does sound prim.

lovely

Really uptight and sanctimonious

I very rarely say this on names threads but, NO it's awful.

I think of 'Kiss Prudence' from the Mike Leigh play Nuts in May.

I am surprising myself by quite liking it.

Jujubean77 · 26/11/2009 20:15

I love it - was on my list - sounds like she will be graceful and dignified.

I am nt that keen on the name personally. However there is a little girl in the year below DD called Prudence and it really does suit her.

I think it's lovely

I know a 30 year old Prudence, usually called Prue. She is physically gorgeous, and one of the nicest people imaginable! 'So it's a yes from me'!

Love it as Dear Prudence is a brilliant song!

JaneiteMightBite · 26/11/2009 20:12

Lovely - but please don't shorten it to Pru, which is far from lovely.

DiamondHead · 26/11/2009 20:11

I think it's nice.
