Not sure I'd ever use them but I quite like Hope.

Guilty love is Blessing - heard it once and think it's beautiful! I don't think I could ever pull it off though.

And I once met a guy called Endurance. He was pretty cool!

Love Constance and nearly used it for DD. I also really like Clemency and Temperance but don’t think I’d be brave enough to use them.

I know a lovely Ghanaian man named Courage which is fab. I also once met a woman who had a daughter named Blessing and a son named Awesome.

Honor. It’s the one that got away for me.

Panticles · 23/09/2020 09:13

I worked with a man called Evidence. Brilliant.

AriesTheRam · 23/09/2020 09:14

I like True

LuluJakey1 · 23/09/2020 09:15

@RickOShay

Honor. It’s the one that got away for me.
Yes, lovely name.
GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 23/09/2020 09:38

I adore Hope. If DS has been a 2nd DD, he'd have been Hope. I love Grace too, but wouldn't have risked it with my clumsy genes!

Kanaloa · 23/09/2020 09:54

Joy, True & Temperance are my favourite. I don’t know if this counts, but I once knew a lady named Happiness which I would never use but it really suited her.

Temperance and Virginia (is that a "virtue" name? It's more to do with a place and a queen I think. Isn't a virtue imo anyway.)

MojoJojo71 · 23/09/2020 10:35

@Panticles Evidence is an awesome name, I love it!

ImaSababa · 23/09/2020 10:58

I'm friends at work with a lovely Nigerian man named Precious , he lights up everyone's day by just being happy 😃

VenusClapTrap · 23/09/2020 11:37

Ruth
Grace
Constance

Peachbubble · 23/09/2020 11:45

I know a girl called Amity which I quite like, but my favourite is Grace.

KeepSmiling89 · 23/09/2020 11:47

My favourites are Faith and Hope

bridgetreilly · 23/09/2020 12:11

Joy!

I also like Faith, Hope, Prudence, Constance, Honor, and Verity.

bridgetreilly · 23/09/2020 12:11

It's interesting to me that I can't think of any male virtue names that I like.

VenusClapTrap · 23/09/2020 12:16

Ernest

Kay00 · 23/09/2020 12:20

Honoria
Victoria

Cheetahfajita · 23/09/2020 12:31

Goodluck is my favourite.

17caterpillars1mouse · 23/09/2020 12:33

I have a Patience :)

Also loved Temperance, Prudence, Charity, Faith and Constance but thought two virtue names would be a bit much

Kanaloa · 23/09/2020 12:43

I suppose True could be used for a boy, although I find it more feminine. I’m sure I’ve heard of a celebrity baby named Brave but I’m not sure of any other boy virtue names.
