WDYT of the name Hope?

I think it's pretty and old fashioned without being outdated. It's such an interesting sound, too! It reminds me of the Emily Dickinson poem, Hope is a thing with feathers...

For nicknames I would probably use Hopie, but it's not really a name that needs a nickname, so it would be more of an endearment. For a middle name I would probably use Catherine, so Hope Catherine V______.

My niece is named Hope Alexis! I like it, and I don't necessarily think it sounds religious. I don't think my sister in law planned on a nickname for her when she was born, but sometimes people call her Hopie. It is a really different sound, but I prefer it to cutesy Kylie-sounding names any day.
