Male virtue names.

[yellowflowers]

I love the name Goodluck (as in Goodluck Jonathan, president of Nigeria). Not brave enough to use it though. Other than Innocent what other virtue names can you think of for men? I can think of loads for girls but not boys.

Clement?

Earnest,
Justice or
Victor.

Oh I love victor. Dh says no.

Clement is the obvious choice. There's also Felix too and, if you dare, Hilary but I suspect it's reserved exclusively for girls now. E(a)rnest is another strong choice. Victor might work too if it's the sort of virtue you're after.

Possibly...
Constant(ine)
Reason
Merit
Sincere
Loyal
Sage
August
Will
Prosper
Chance
Pax
Justice/Justus
Noble
Concord

Names that mean happy? Apparently Seeley and Asher fit the bill.

You're probably best off looking for names with virtuous meanings or using one like Goodluck as a middle name. Promise is my personal favourite name of this sort - I think it sounds gorgeous.

Our DD has a virtue name, we didn't pick it for this reason at all it's a family name.

I think Victor would be ace. What about Valiant?

Valiant is fab, especially with a really normal surname. Valiant Jones is just awesome.

Courage Smith... :-D

Valiant is the name of our boiler!

Don't they all sound like types of Bitter?

Isn't the boiler Vailant?

I heard of Prosper on the unusual names thread and I LOVE it.

Vaillant is the boiler name (plumber dh alert!)

Oh.
Still would remind me.

Some names which mean lucky

-Bonaventure

Apparently "Lucky" can be used as a name, or as a nickname for Luke and there is an Old English "Chauncey"

Hero is a girls name. (Hero and Lysander)

ould Capability count?
As in Capability Brown.

Having said that, please don't call your child Capability!!

I think Capability was his nickname :)

Have met some (african) children called
fidelity
rock
goodness
gladness
godliness

all boys! living in uk

Met an african boy/teen recently called "Triumph" thought it was lovely.

I know an adult Hero & a Prosper, both are men, actually both are tall dark & handsome, leather clad retro biker guys & both are very successful in their chosen creative fields - the names are not NN, but birth names that they somehow grew up into suiting perfectly :)

Don't know if it counts as one but I love the name Titus.

I did come across the opposite yesterday. A Zimbabwean dignitary called Tedious...
