Virtue names

[imamaryanne.livejournal.com]

ThatI'm not a huge fan of virtue names, but I get why some people are. Most of the people I know with virtue names (besides the obvious ones - Faith, Hope, Grace) are Nigerians. I took my son to the pediatrician and there was a Nigerian nurse with the first name Comfort.

Comfort is totally not my style, but her name made me smile anyway. How appropriate that she would be a nurse for children.

From what I've heard, many Nigerians translate their child's name's meaning directly into English, hence the names that might seem a little strange to English speakers.
