HelpRe: Patience
in reply to a message by queenv
I think virtue names are tricky, for obvious reasons. What if you name a kid Patience and she turns out to be the most impatient person you have ever known?
Anyway, I don't really think of this as a name because I've never met a person IRL who carried it. It's just a word to me.

I think of Patience more as a virtue or long-term goal, rather than a short-term personality trait. Like, her parents had to patiently work hard at having a child, or had to be patient at some point in their lives before being together, etc. They had a goal, and patience has helped them achieve it.
I don't disagree that a little Patience might be teased if she was acting impatiently, but that's not really the point I get from the word/name anyway.
