I love[name_f][/name_f] a good virtue name, but pretty much only the ones with a positive meaning. [name_m]Like[/name_m] you said, the idea of names that one would only use on a girl that have an undercurrent of oppression and the expectance of submission really make me uncomfortable. But[name_f][/name_f] there are some virtue names that I do think are especially lovely.
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]The[/name_m] most of these I think lean gender neutral, but there are a few that I prefer for a girl or boy (mainly [name_f]Hero[/name_f] for a girl, [name_f]Bliss[/name_f] for a boy)
[name_f][/name_f]- [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Beloved[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Hero[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Kindred[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Marvel[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Merit[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Pleasance[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Prudence[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Winsome[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_m]Worthy[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_m]Vision[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Bliss[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Bravery[/name_f] (as in the bravery to be kind) [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_m]Earnest[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_m]Fate[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_m]Noble[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]
A few of these I think might lean a bit heavy (Hero, [name_f]Pleasance[/name_f], Prudence), but the most of them I love for their positive meanings. Personally, I lean more towards virtue names that would be more associated with the parent (their child is [name_f]Beloved[/name_f], they felt like [name_m]Fate[/name_m] brought them their child, etc) or a positive quality the child has innately (always being [name_m]Worthy[/name_m] of love, the child being a [name_m]Vision[/name_m] or a Marvel).
