What is your favourite of these virtue names?

[Spookypig]

Constance
Mercy
Faith
Hope
Joy

If you love any not on this list then feel free to say them too! I am really into virtue names recently, I seem to love the Puritan vibe! Anyone else? 😄

Joy. Do like Verity but not with our surname.

Hope

I might use Ruth, Felicity or Verity.

Faith & Hope are my favourite, I also like Grace.

Constance. Without a doubt.

I love Constance and it can be shortened to Connie which is lovely as well

Faith

Under his eye - why not go the whole hog and name her Of - DH?

Ugh I love them all so much! I adore Honor and Prudence as well… Prue is soooo cute 😍 I think Mercy is secretly my favourite but everyone else in the world seems to hate it 😩

What?

I like Mercy too!!

Hope or Grace. But prefer Verity.

Faith reminds me too much of Faith the vampire slayer but that may just be me.

Charity
Grace
And I once met a Liberty (shortened to Libby) who was awesome.

Do you! Finally, someone else! I’m glad to hear from you, I thought I was the only one! It’s just such a beautiful sound to my ear and I think the meaning is nice, but everyone seems to hate it.

Mercy.

I quite like Amity, Clemency and Trinity. The first two could be shortened to Ami and Clemmie for nicknames. I'm not a fan of COnstance/Connie but one of DDs friends is Constanza which is a lovely name and she goes by Stanz/Stanza

Love them all. Probably Constance. Mercy is my least fave.

I like Hope (what nicknames/shortenings are there though?), and Constance shortened to Connie.

On a separate but related note re nominative determinism, I was born on a Tuesday (Tuesday's child is full of Grace etc...) but was a rather uncoordinated child, shall we say, and my delightful mother took great amusement in telling me and everyone else that it was SO funny that I was born on a Tuesday and yet SO CLUMSY!

Verity is my favourite virtue name.

I do know a Temperance, and I've never quite got used to it, it's a bit clunky.

Mercy just reminds me of playground games where you hurt each other and see how long before one shouts Mercy! (why on Earth did we even play that?!)

I like Constance nn Connie.
I like Verity too.
Grace is nice but I think if she’s not graceful people are more likely to point it out.

I might have liked Hope but I knew one and she puts me off. Also people called her Hopeless or said her name was ironic. So again that put me off virtue names.

Mercy short for Mercedes

I love Faith but could never use it because round these parts she'd be faif

Patience

Constance or Verity for me.

I like Verity. It sounds nice and isn't as obvious as the others. I also quote like

Hope as it sounds optimistic. I dislike Joy and Mercy I don't like the sound of them but I think it puts too much pressure on the child,l to act a certain way
