Help[Opinions] Re: If you had to name a daughter one of the "Quadfecta" of stereotypical girl virtue names, which would you pick?

Grace, Hope, and Faith are all nice. Joy is cute, but it also feels the most burdensome.
Grace is elegant, but common enough to still be approachable. However, as someone who was all elbows as a teen, I'm glad my name wasn't grace.
Hope is wholesome. As a middle name, I would be most likely to consider using it of the four. It reminds me of the poem by Emily Dickinson. Delicate yet strong.
Faith is the grittier version of Hope. It is linked to trust but has an extra layer. Sound wise it has a similar old fashioned vibe as Meredith but more transcendental.
It is a toss up between Hope and Faith, but I'm leaning toward Hope today. It is probably better to be a pessimistic Hope than a faithless Faith, right?
Edited: After thinking about it some more, I'm leaning toward Faith over Hope because I hear hope casually used as a word far more. "I hope you have a great time!" "I hope things work out for you guys." "I hope it is a white Christmas." Faith, as a word, is used less frequently on an ordinary day, so it might feel more like a name.
