- Hope

Virtue nameDescription:

A distinctively Welsh name that's feeling more and more usable these days.
- Margaret

"noble, patrician"Description:
Patrick, long tied to a hyper-Irish image, is enjoying something of a renaissance as a stylish classic, as it has long been considered in England. Along with such choices as Charles and George, Patrick has escaped overuse in recent decades.

"virginal, pure"Description:
Virginia is a lovely place name starting with the fashionable V and having deep historical roots, yet, unlike some other other girls' classics, has been sorely neglected in recent years.
