Persephone or Primrose, depending on what you're going for.

The only one I like somewhat is Patience. It’s a bit punny, but I like the sentiment and the sound behind it. Persephone is too much for a real human.
Primrose is “prim”. Stuck up.

Patience. I think it's fun in an understated way, sorta like Maud, Clemence, Cadence or a more meaningful and timeless Paige / Peyton. It sounds more chill or less uptight than most virtue names imv, at least. Also it's the only one of these I've actually come across IRL (she was a gen Zer).Persephone could grow on me, but it's so prissy-goth and baroque.Primrose is kinda cool. But very prim.

I like Persephone best even though it is the most tragic.
Patience makes me feel impatient.
Primrose not only has prim in it, but also sounds like a rose that isn't quite there yet. Rose alone sounds fuller, bolder, and more womanly.

Persephone, followed by Patience, don’t care for Primrose.

Primrose is okay, but not my favorite.
Patience is cute, but becomes an annoying joke if Patience is impatient.
Persephone is my favorite. It's a little long, but can be shortened to Perse, Persie, Seph, or Sephie. Pronunciation might be difficult, but shouldn't be too bad.

Persephone is a strong, beautiful name with a great Greek goddess association, but might be hard to pronounce for people unfamiliar with Greek. It also doesn't shorten well. Persie?Primrose is lovely but extremely girly. Rose is safer, or Primrose "Rose". Personally, I'd probably go for Rosemary instead.Patience is a GP of mine. I think it makes a neat middle name, along with other virtues such as Temperance, Pleasance, Peace, etc.

Persephone - no nicknames, but if a nickname is unavoidable I'd think about using Primrose.
I don't like Patience, it's rather blunt.

Primrose is best. It's cute but not childish. And the flower is so beautiful.Patience sounds beautiful but is a bit boring.I used to like Persephone but now it's just so... blah. There is nothing particularly lovable about it. Like it least.

Primrose Patience is awful. Persephone is nice in theory/as a GP but the 'phone' part makes Primrose more practical

Patience is real pretty and I find the meaning quite funny in a way. But Persephone is beautiful. Primrose is just okay.

Persephone. I love it’s strength. Primrose would be second, it comes off stuffy and matronly to me and I prefer it as a nickname. Hate Patience.
