Virtue Girls Names

I was just thinking about middle names, and randomly thought what about a virtue middle name, however I can't think of any I like. I've ruled these out so far:

Temperance
Chastity
Verity
Hope
Faith
Liberty
Grace
Prudence
Mercy
Joy
Clemency
Charity

Are there any that I have missed? First name will probably be Sara.

Honor

BlueChampagne · 12/09/2012 14:11

You could try other languages!

Charis = Grace (Greek)

QueLinda · 12/09/2012 14:12

Amity too.

Spaghettivongole · 12/09/2012 14:36

Patience (DD's middle name)

minipie · 12/09/2012 14:41

Constance
Felicity

MagdalenaAlec · 12/09/2012 14:44

Felicity?

Or Victoire (French for "victory") - one of DD's middle names - or Esperance (don't think Esperanza would go with Sara, but I quite like the name)

MadBusLady · 12/09/2012 15:05

It's not quite a virtue name, but Gloria?

Honor can also be Honoria.

TudorJess · 12/09/2012 15:44

I think you've got the virtue names covered (more unusual ones here) but on similar lines...

Blythe
Harmony
Clemency
Trinity
Serena/Serenity
Felicia
Angelica/Angela
Sophia (means "wisdom")

BlueChampagne · 12/09/2012 15:48

Think this will go straight on your 'ruled out' list, but hey:

Modesty

redrubyshoes · 12/09/2012 15:51

Honesty
Prudence

LadyMargolotta · 12/09/2012 15:57

In the same vein as Joy, Hilaria.

MadBusLady · 12/09/2012 15:59

Fidelity is on TudorJess's list, and made me think of Fidelia, which I think is lovely. Also Unity from the list could work.

Badgerina · 12/09/2012 21:04

Unity Mitford = Nazi-loving Mitford sister...

Anyway, I always think using virtue names is tempting fate a wee bit...

rempy · 12/09/2012 21:07

I am firmly in the tempting fate camp as well - Chastity on the labour ward age 14 granny does look a bit of a pillock.

I'm not really sure what Chlamydia is going to get up too......

Yika · 12/09/2012 21:44

I met someone once called Acceptance ...

lionheart · 12/09/2012 21:48

Saw a birth announcement for a girl called Envy, if you want to explore the dark side. Smile

mumzy · 12/09/2012 22:50

Ernestina

redrubyshoes · 13/09/2012 21:22

I once met a Nigerian couple called Knowledge and Fortunate.

TruthSweet · 13/09/2012 21:46

Alethea is Greek for truth

Teamthrills · 13/09/2012 21:50

My dds name, Nyah, means purpose.

GoldPlatedNineDoors · 13/09/2012 21:55

Loveday

Otoh if youve discounted most of the virtue.names maybe look for a different genre.

MadBusLady · 13/09/2012 22:18

I see Loveday a lot in 18th C parish records! Really like it. Probably as a middle name though.

itsjustmeanon · 14/09/2012 15:10

I love Loveday, now to persuade DH.
