I love the nickname/name Pru, but I don't like Prudence or it's meaning at all. What do you guys think? I'm pretty sure I won't be able to use the name as the fiance has big opinions, but I can't get over how much I like Pru and wanted other opinions. Thanks!

Pru like prude or prune? Ew.

Exactly! I know... everything it brings up in my head is just awful. But I love the sound of it alone if that makes sense. I think I'm just mad that prude and prune and prudence all suck and should have different words for their meanings, haha. Bum.

there is also Prudencia (spanish) which at least sounds prettier to me

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

That does somehow sound a lot better.
