HelpRe: An interesting ancestor set
in reply to a message by vigdis
I really like Patience, Prudence, Constance, and Grace is kinda growing on me sorta almost kinda.
Patience is my fave. It reminds me of morning glories. Like as soon as I see the name Patience I picture a pale lilac-and-white morning glory in my mind.
I'm not sure if I'd ever use Patience though, because I feel like I'd be telling any daughter named Patience to sit and wait and endure whatever comes instead of going out and getting what she wants in life, but I wouldn't assume that's the message other Patience's parents are trying to bestow on their daughters, I think that's just my own problem, because that's what I was taught so I have issues okay.

It is kind of a dangerous message, isn't it? Patience is great for getting things done, but if you take it earnestly it can be a life-ruiner. I'm glad you're fighting it.
It's pale lilac for me too. Looks more like actual Lilacs than morning glories, though.
