1.  yesterday we had 17-year-old twins named Emily and Frances.  I always like coming across twin names.

2.  what are some virtue names you do like/don't mind?  currently I am Chastity Danielle, but I've only ever gone by Danielle or Dani.  so to rid myself of confusion and a stupid name, I'm switching the two and possibly replacing Chastity with a different virtue name so my mom won't be *too* offended.

I adore this name. It's always been in my top 5

[theljfromheck.livejournal.com]

I don't know if I'd ever use it for a baby but I really really like it. :)

Mercy
Clement/s/ce (the endings are dissatisfying, unfortunately)
Wisdom
Reason
Logic
Temperance
Tempest (I think I consider this a virtue name.)
Prudence
Justice
Freeman
Hope

I really like virtue names. I had a much more thorough list on a previous virtue name post. This community needs tags.

I really like a lot of them. except for chastity.

[a-tergo-lupi.livejournal.com]

Agreed. I hate the whole idea :p

[ohhvelocitygirl.livejournal.com]

my mom was being funny when she named me

[a-tergo-lupi.livejournal.com]

It's quite funny. It's not the worst though, and she could have spelled it kre8yvleigh.

[ohhvelocitygirl.livejournal.com]

it's worse because my mom got pregnant by a married man. hurrrr name the love child after the virtue of being chast.

[a-tergo-lupi.livejournal.com]

HA! Ah well.

I really don't like Emily. I do like Frances, though.

I think Hope, Honor and Patience are the only ones I would use; I like Temperance, but it's a bit much.

I read the names people suggested here and I'm surprised no one put down Faith since that is also a virtue name. As I wrote earlier today, my baby's name went from Liliana to a virtue name-Faith lol.

Faith is by far my favorite virtue name. I like Temperance too, but maybe that's due to an overdose of Bones.

[smallandneedy.livejournal.com]

oh Temperance. I love that name! Even though it's very Bones-y.

Amity
Charity

also yes to Mercy and Verity

[rubie-dubidoux.livejournal.com]

I really like the name Amity.

Yeah... some virtue names are ok and tolerable - Hope and Faith, while nms are still ok. But there are some out there where I feel like it's more an assignment than a name. Chastity is one of those "Why would anyone name their kid that?" kind of names to me (No offense!)

[lilacmermaid.livejournal.com]

Emily and Frances are a great sibset! Emily could have been kind of boring if it was paired with Isabelle or something else that's pretty popular, but I really like it with Frances (my middle name!)

I actually really like a lot of virtue names, Chastity included (but there probably aren't a lot that I would actually use myself). Some other ones I like (although not all of these are considered virtue names by everyone):

Amity
Bonnie
Charity
Clementine
Constance
Faith
Felicity
Grace (but it's used way too much)
Liberty
Mercy
Solace
Verity

One of the few names I don't like is Hope (something about the O sound turns me off a lot of names...), but I do like the name in other languages - Esperanza, for instance.

[bambiblake007.livejournal.com]

i like virtue names alright.

Faith (by far my favorite)
Freedom
Grace
Hope
Honor
Liberty
Love (that would be a virtue name, yeah?)
Mercy
Prudence
Temperance

[spaceandclouds.livejournal.com]

Emily & Frances are awesome names, especially for twins.

I'm not a fan of virtue names; the only one I like is Faith.

[googlebee-ohmi.livejournal.com]

Felicity and Verity are my favorite of the virtue names. My great grandma and her sisters all had virtue names as part of their name:
Florence Verity
Catherine Temperance
Mary-Elizabeth Charity
Elanor Grace

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

Mercy
Honor
Verity
Hope (nms, but eh)
Fate
Ever
Clemence/Clemency/Clementine
Wisdom
Creed/Credence
True/Truth
Evanescence (but ppl will assume the band lol)
Journey (debatable virtue name, but I like the idea behind it)
Just
Justice
Grace
Amity
Solace
