Well, the title says it all really - what do you think of the name Prudence.
I think it ought to be due a revival! Yes? No?
I have a Pearl already (amongst other dc's), do the two 'P's matter?
Would love all opinions, thanks!

Not too keen on it for a baby, but i have a sheep called Prudence (nn Pru) and so do have a soft spot for the name!

Not much help sorry

Patience? Honor? Chastity?

I like it although I'd be constantly singing Dear Prudence in my mind!

I know a very sweet girl called Prudence (aged 5), but tbh its not my favourite name.

Not keen at all.

It seems such a harsh name for a little girl.

It's lovely. Very demure, quite chic, but sweet.

It isn't my personal choice but it is fine.

One of DD's friends is called Prudence, with it being shortened to Pru.
