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.

I have come across

Innocence (male)
Fortunate (female)
Marvellous (male)
Amazing Grace (female)

And my favourite was Evermore (female) which I thought was beautiful

Love Prudence

Forgot about Feicity too which is one of my favourite ever girls names but was vetoed by DD’s dad

Ruth Grace Constance
Is Ruth a virtue name? I never knew that!

I have an 18th Century ancestor called Thankful.
Once knew of an elderly woman called Comfort.
Others I’ve come across in searching family trees
Justice, Consolation.
Then there’s twins Patience and Prudence.

Ruth means compassion. We tend to use its converse - ruthless - more than ruth itself.

Tillygetsit · 23/09/2020 23:17

I love Prudence and Prue is adorable. However, dh said it made him think of wrinkly old prunes.

pallisers · 23/09/2020 23:34

I love

Constance
Verity
Honor

Marvellous is a fabulous name - wouldn't have the courage to use it though.

DramaAlpaca · 24/09/2020 00:49

Constance, Joy, Honor and Hope are my favourites.

Not read any of the thread so just responding to the title:
Faith, Constance and Prudence.

MikeUniformMike · 24/09/2020 12:31

Grace and Hope make me think of the suffix -less, but both are nice.

MojoJojo71 · 24/09/2020 14:06

I read about a celeb couple earlier who have named their baby daughter Marvel. I quite like it

TheId · 24/09/2020 15:54

Once had a boyfriend called Destiny
Amazing name although he didn't like it and went by Des.
Sadly we were not destined to stay together
