Worst possible virtue/attribute names?

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

I don't just mean a Verity who's a bit of a fibber, or a stingy Charity but what wouldn't work at all?

I'll start with:

Fecundity
Concord (people would think of aeroplanes)

[upaladderagain]

Ooops - just realised you meant completely inappropriate names.
I guess Patience would be a huffy foot-tapper, Constance a flibberygibbet, Mercy a bully, Hope a gloom-monger etc etc.
Still like a lot of them though.

[Junoberry75]

Caress.

[upaladderagain]

Patience / Patsy
Constance / Connie
Mercy
Hope
Faith
Prudence / Pru
Clemency
Charity
Temperance /Tempe, as in Kathy Reichs' novels
Felicity
Joy

[Heratnumber7]

I know a Swastika. She goes by Swazzy.

There was a baby named Bully last year

[0pti0na1]

Sarcasm
Sloth
Celebrity
Irritability
Obscurity
Unreliability
Hypocrisy
Procrastination
Boredom

Persistence, Tenacity, Spontaneity, Loyalty and Diplomacy could work though Domesticity could go one way or the other...

[LauraMipsum]

Maleficent. Would go nicely with all the little Elsas, Annas and Aryas

[StepAwayFromTheThesaurus]

You can go by petal as a nickname.

[StepAwayFromTheThesaurus]

Petulance is a lovely name for a girl.

[LunaLoveg00d]

Punctuality

[QueenLizIII]

Repentance
Perseverance

[QueenLizIII]

Found a nice puritan name website:

TRIBULATION m English (Puritan)
Meaning, "a cause of great trouble or suffering." Sometimes given to 'bastard' children.

How delightful

[Ryooki]

This reminded me of an episode of The Simpsons where Marge plays a pilgrim. Her name is 'Constance Prudence Chastity Good-Faith Obedience Temperance Sex-Wont'!

[PattyPenguin]

I've always thought choosing virtue names is asking for trouble. Call a baby Patience and you can guarantee that patient is the last thing the child / adult will turn out to be.

On that principle, perhaps it would be a good idea to call a child Defiance or Insolence. Or Pugnacity. Or Belligerence (a touch of the Norman French, there, perhaps?)

[annandale]

Submission
Ponder
Reflection
Fire-of-Pentecost

[CancellyMcChequeface]

Defiance is brilliant!

Bellicosity - if you like the nickname Bella but consider Isabella overused.
Audacity
Insolence

[Quodlibet]

I once taught a very bored teenager called Epiphany, who spent most of her time staring sulkily into the middle distance. The likelihood of an original thought from her seemed very slim.

[Stoneagemum]

My Gran was Patience and she had an aunt or cousin Defiance.

[tictactoad]

Dust
Ashes
Freegift

[Oakmaiden]

You could have a Thrift?

[Wafflenose]

Reticence
Bossiness

I'm having fun! Also LMAO at Obedience!

[Biscuitsneeded]

Abstinence and Celibacy. Twins.

[Wafflenose]

Nobility
Prudishness
Argumentativeness

[TequilaBlockingBird]

Pulchritude
