HelpRe: Prudence
in reply to a message by Aine
The thing about virtues is there's always another side to the story. Patience and Temperance never take risks or do anything for themselves. Honor can border on vengeance. Clemence is weak and passive. Prudence, though probably the best of the lot, is like Patience- unimaginative and unwilling to take risks.
That said, there's enough precedence for Pru to be unnoticed in that way- until she does something imprudent, of course- and to have a flavour of its own as a name. Together, the four names you mention call to mind the American Colonial era (and I'm not American).
