Prudence v Florence

[looki]

Is Prudence going to become as 'fashionable' as Florence? They are so similar?

[schmee]

Also Prudence, whilst very important and worthy, is an uninspiring virtue as mentioned upthread.

Perhaps Austerity and Thrift will be on trend as names soon?

[GettingVerySleepy]

Yes and prudence could be shortened to Prude - dreadful! I know as a teenager if I'd been named prudence I would have done everything I could to prove I was neither prudent nor a prude! Florence is v nice but flo makes me think of "aunt flo coming to visit" which where I come from means you have your period.

At least Florence has a stunningly beautiful city as its namesake, Prudence doesn't even have a whiff of beauty or elegance about it. Just unrelenting good sense.
