Virtue Names beyond the top 1000 - Girls Names

Girl Names
1

I’ve been looking for some unusual and unique virtue names lately so I thought I’d go through the data to find the interesting ones I could find. I hope this helps out someone else! I’ve taken from 250 babies and under this time so it’s a broader range. For a virtue name I’ve defined it is a name based around some sort of good quality eg. [name_f]Honesty[/name_f] or used in a phrase to describe a good quality eg. Sweet as honey. As per usual I took out any with alternate spellings and names in the top 1000 for the opposite genre. I hope y’all aren’t getting sick of these posts!

[name_f]Annora[/name_f] isn’t listed. It’s the medieval form of Honor(a).

[name_f]Remedy[/name_f], [name_u]Merry[/name_u], [name_u]Tempest[/name_u], and [name_u]Hero[/name_u] are my favourites! I could see myself almost using Merry; the rest feel more like guilty pleasures.

Wow so cool!

[name_f]Clemency[/name_f]? One of my absolute favourites!

@autumnreverie I only included explicit virtue names like [name_f]Darling[/name_f] as opposed to more subtle ones because or else I could keep going forever. If you were curious however [name_f]Annora[/name_f] was given to 39 girls in 2021 :smile:

@patternthing [name_f]Clemency[/name_f] actually doesn’t show up in the SSA Name Data at all so you’ve found a really hidden gem! :smile:

I love [name_f]Verity[/name_f], [name_u]Blythe[/name_u], & [name_u]Merry[/name_u]! And I think that [name_f]Clarity[/name_f] & [name_u]Valor[/name_u] have real potential — they both sound enough like names that I think they could work beautifully.

Some of these are just a little too wordy for me, and I think it’s because they are commonly used, like [name_u]True[/name_u] or [name_u]Ever[/name_u] or [name_u]Story[/name_u], or because they are terms of endearment that I personally would be uncomfortable with other people calling my child, like [name_u]Love[/name_u] or [name_f]Honey[/name_f].

12

I love [name_f]Esperanza[/name_f], [name_u]Blythe[/name_u], [name_u]True[/name_u], [name_f]Beloved[/name_f], [name_u]Solace[/name_u], [name_f]Serene[/name_f], [name_f]Pilar[/name_f], [name_f]Remedy[/name_f], [name_f]Glory[/name_f], [name_f]Star[/name_f], [name_u]Honor[/name_u], [name_u]Ever[/name_u], and [name_f]Patience[/name_f] especially!

13

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites from this list are [name_u]Coast[/name_u], [name_u]Quest[/name_u], [name_u]Hero[/name_u], [name_m]Prosper[/name_m], [name_u]Noble[/name_u], tempest, [name_f]Euphoria[/name_f], [name_u]Poet[/name_u], [name_f]Bloom[/name_f], [name_f]Reverie[/name_f], [name_f]Sunshine[/name_f], [name_f]Blossom[/name_f], [name_u]Story[/name_u] and [name_u]Lux[/name_u]. I also really like [name_f]Esperance[/name_f], which is a variation of [name_f]Esperanza[/name_f].

14

These are so great. I’m so impressed that you’ve collected all of these and written them out! I love so so… so many of these names. Though my favorite, given to 6 girls and 13 boys in 2021, has evaded the list. She is [name_u]Vision[/name_u]! :zap::butterfly:

15

[name_u]Comfort[/name_u], [name_u]Solace[/name_u], [name_f]Silence[/name_f], [name_f]Winsome[/name_f], [name_u]Loveday[/name_u], [name_u]Love[/name_u] (it’s masculine in my family), [name_f]Verity[/name_f], [name_u]Blythe[/name_u], and [name_f]Honour[/name_f].

Three names not listed that are in my family: [name_m]Truelove[/name_m], [name_u]Wealthy[/name_u], and [name_f]Fear[/name_f].
