Prudence

[Fairyloo]

Just reading Malory towers and came across prudence

Kinda like it

She wasn't very nice. It was St Clare's-"sour milk Prudence". It's a cat's name.

Prude as a nickname isn't good.

One of my roomies at uni has a sister prudence, she is stunningly beautiful and a very highly paid model in South Florida, she gets Pru.

It's different. I don't like it very much.

i picture a very stuck up little snob!

I really like it. It's on my list. But grew up knowing someone who makes it seem a cool name.

And the meaning has undertones of 'good judgement' as well as 'cautious'. Neither are bad things!

I love Prudence, Patience and Constance!

It's a lot to ask a child to carry off imo.

It makes me think of Charmed. Her nn was Pru which is quite nice.

One thought sums this name up: prude.

Ooh I love Patience.

Given the wide variety of names in use today children seem to just take them in their stride. In 15+ years teaching in a state secondary school I've only ever known one child be bullied because of their name and it was a completely 'normal' name (think Michael Smith) but it happened to be the same as a criminal in a scandalous news story at the time. I've encountered many, many names that would cause raised eyebrows yet the kids never seem to bat an eyelid! So I wouldn't worry about a name being a burden unless it was something overtly ridiculous like Fanny.

Love it! And Constance too. Patience is probably a little too much to live up too.

I don't like it. It's an ugly name.

*to.

I think it is a lovely name. Plus there is a built in lullaby with the Beatles "Dear Prudence"

It's a super choice, it's known but not (over-)used at all. Florence had a similar reaction many moons ago and now it's a hot name. Prudence may be too sophisticated for some but I think it's lovely.

Just makes me think of 'nuts in May'

Prudence is one heck of an ugly name. And when I say ugly, I mean ugly.

It does make me think of a cat. I can imagine a Disney cat being called prudence.

It makes me think of that book about using a potty.

Prude.

Beautiful, I love it and nn Pru is gorgeous x
