I posted the other day about a sibset at work, including a little girl named Temperance. Since then, the name has been growing on me a little bit. I'm huge on nns though. Any good ideas for Temperance? I've heard Tansy, Annie, Emme/Emmie, Temp, Tempy, etc. WDYT of Temperance? Combos? NNs?

It really reminds me of Temperance Brennan from "Bones". She goes by Tempe.

Hmmm... My first thought was Emmy. I'm not 100% on Temmy or Tem, but I suppose that's a possibility too. The others don't seem as natural. I love Temperance. It's a virtue name that works in the real world, imo. I would love to meet more people named Temperance. :)

It's a nice name, and for nicknames you could do Perry, maybe? Annie definitley works. Tansy is a cool one

I actually quite like Temperance, in a GP sort of way. I loathe Temp and Tempy, though. Gross, gross, gross.Buuuut... Annie and Emme are okay nns. I don't know if it's too much of a stretch, though.
