Met up with ante natal class...

[Picknickers]

And one of the mums had called her t's Prudence. I can't decide if I love it or dislike it! What do you think?

That should be dd. Silly autocorrect.

Hmm, Prudence....I know what you mean, OP. I think I sort of like it

I like Constance even better though, such a beautiful name.

I like it. Pru is very cute. Reminds me of Constance, Felicity, etc but a bit more unusual.

Hate it, honestly.

I like it! Pru is a really cool nickname.

I tend to like virtue names, but I'm not so sure on this one. I sort of like it. But Prudence has a rather prissy image to me - overly cautious, goody-goody, scaredy-cat.

Nah... She would inevitably be called Prude for short. Or maybe not... But either way it has the word prude in it which isn't great.

I'd be singing "Dear Prudence" all the time! Her nn would have to be Prue though, like Prue Leith.

I know of a little prudence who is usually pru. I’m not really a fan but it’s better than some names I’ve heard. I prefer other virtue names such as verity, Honour or faith etc.

I should like it.. Unusual but easy to spell and pronounce.. But I just don't like the sound of it. I like Pru though.

Not a fan. There was a horrible character in St Clare's book called Prudence. I have a child with a 'virtue' name and i like most of them: Verity, Faith, Honour, Constance. I would not go for Prudence or Chastity, however.

Don't like it, has an ugly sound to my ear. Reminds me of prune.

I do like other virtue type names though, love Constance (Connie) and Honor.

I love it. It's the name of dd's will (because I couldn't use it on a second daughter as we has a similar style P name already)

I quite like the sentiment behind it - better than being called Splurge. It does remind me of prunes though.
