Hope is the title of the second book in Lori Copeland's Brides of the West series. It's one of my favorite books!

My daughter was born Feb 11/05. Her name was going to be Jade at first, however when she was born 2 months early we switched her middle name to her first name. Hope just suited our situation and we needed all the Hope (no pun intended) we could get.
Hope is also the last thing Pandora released from the box in Greek mythology. A beautiful name.

I love the name Hope. Not only it has a beautiful meaning, it sounds great as a name. A good friend of mine has a daughter called Hope, and everyone usually calls her Hopie. It's such a cute name!
Hope is my maiden name, and now my daughter's middle name. My great grandmother always referred to her as "my little Hope." To this day I am still called Hope instead of my given name by several of my friends, and I love it. The world can always use a little Hope! But as much as I love the name, and love being called Hope, I do prefer it as a middle or nickname.
I love the name Hope, so does my sister and a really good friend does too. My sister wants a Hope Charity, I want a Jennifer Hope, and my friend wants a Hope Elizabeth.

Not too fond of it, but it is cute as a middle name.
I used to dislike the name, as it's quite plain and not particularly pretty, but I've warmed up to it. It's totally overused as a middle name, though, and always associated with Chrstianity because of the ''faith, hope, love'' mantra, which are my reasons for not wanting to use it. However, hope as a concept is underrated. It's not a religious or spiritual thing; it's an absolute universal necessity for mental well-being. Everything will seem pointless without it.
The three sextuplet girls fron Jon and Kate Plus 8 have the middle names Hope, Faith and Joy. I think that is very cute and true, you need hope and faith to raise sextuplets and it will be a joy! :)
Yes, a verry pretty name of course. However, I see it as an extremely weak and delicate name. Not the name I would choose for the strong young women I "hope" my baby daughter will be.
Actually, I take what I said about Hope on Esperanza back. Though it doesn't have the majesty of Esperanza, Hope is a very pretty name and a beautiful concept. I'll always remember the Pandora's box story, where, at the very bottom of the box, lay hope. It seem the Greeks considered hope to be as dangerous as all the world's evils. But without hope to accompany all their troubles, humanity was filled with despair. So, to all the Hopes out there, wear it proud.
Oh, and the Russian and Basque forms Nadezhda and Itxaro are beautiful names too.
Let's not forget the character Hope from Thirty-something.

The baby girl at the center of the FOX sitcom "Raising Hope" has her name (mercifully) changed to Hope by her father, instead of her mother's original choice, "Princess Beyonce".
My name is Hope and people always tell me is beautiful. I have two sisters named Faith and Charity and a brother named Hunter. With my surname Devine, I think it sounds very pretty, but beware! Everybody makes fun of my name and says stuff like, "I hope Hope will be here today". But over all I would recommend it.
My name is Hope. I have two sisters named Faith and Charity and my brother's name is Marlon. I used to hate my name growing up because I was teased allllllll the time. Now, I love my name. It never fails that when a person finds out my name I get the famous "Keep Hope Alive". My sisters named my nieces Cherish, Joy and Honor.
Hope is a WORD. I love Faith, but Hope doesn't stick to me. Hope sounds more like a name for a seal. (Sorry Hopes out there, but that's just my point of view. Sorry.)
