Help[Opinions] Re: Temperance, Constance, Patience and Prudence.
in reply to a message by Alisha
The only one I really like is Prudence, and that's because of a BtNer who shared the story of her great-great-grandmother who was badass and had the name (holla if you're here, 'cause I don't remember who you are.)
Also, Prue is a cute NN. :)

Hehehe...that would be my great great grandmother.
She had a trying Australian adventure, to be sure, during the time of the gold rush, endured the loss of some of her children to disease while there, then, after moving back to England, was alone with her children (her husband being away at sea in the Baltic, his ship having been commissioned for the war)when the Germans bombed West Hartlepool. She later emigrated to America. She was a very resilient woman with a lot of pluck and a lot of faith. We are so fortunate that her daughters wrote about her and her life.
On paper, the name Prudence might not have ever been a favorite of mine, but because I admire my great great grandmother so, it has grown dear to me, and I think only of her amiable and admirable qualities and imagine a young Prudence to be a sweet and lovely girl.
