Comments for the name Patience

Patience is the sixth book in the Brides of the West series by Lori Copeland.

Patience was a Gilbert and Sullivan lampooning the aesthetic movement.

I like this name, but I think it's more beautiful in the form "Patient". I think it's EVEN more beautiful as "Impatience" or "Impatient", but who wants their poor children or literary characters to be subject to tasteless "be patient" jokes?

I know a little girl with this name. Her nickname is Pae which is rather sweet.

Someone at my school is called this and all the teachers seem to think the "be patient Patience" crack is still funny.

It is a beauty. I know a little Patience ;) and she has no teasing or inane jokes made about her name.

Patience McIntyre, half of sister singing act Patience and Prudence. Hits included "Tonight You Belong to Me" and "Gonna Get Along Without Ya Now."

It's ok, but I think the child would be subject to far too many "be patient" jokes than anyone ever needs. It's a nice sounding word, though.

There is a book in the Dear America series for young adults about a Pilgrim girl named Remember Patience Whipple.

You have got to be kidding me, this as a name? What if Patience turns out to be very impatient?

Patience Worth was the name of a person who supposedly lived from 1649 - 1694. She allegedly had contact with a woman named Pearl Curran (1883 - 1937) through a Ouija board, and inspired Pearl to publish novels and poetry under her (Patience's) name.

Whether it was Pearl or Patience's spirit that wrote the works is still unknown to this day.

Oh please, how silly is this name? Of course there is always the risk that the girl won't be patient at all, but it's not even a pretty name, and it sounds like a name really obnoxious parents would pick for their poor daughter.

Patience Phillips is Catwoman's real name in the 2003 release of "Catwoman".

Patience Hodgson, lead vocalist of Australian alternative rock band The Grates, is a bearer. Not exactly famous, but she has certainly given this name an edge I didn't think it had before.

As one who is impatient, I like this name very much. Patience truly is a virtue, and I respect anyone who wishes to instill this in their children. Besides this, Patience also has a sweet, honest sound. I can easily imagine an adorable little girl named Patience.

This name is too cute! I love it. It has a soft, beautiful sound when you say it.

Patience, mother of Respect and Thankful.
Come on word names? I like Faith and Hope but Patience is over the top.

What do doctors have? Patients! Ugh, It makes me SO sad that people are giving these type of names to their children! Think about it a name is a serious thing! I don't even wanna imagine what the kids at my school would do to someone named Patience!

I like it. It's simple and traditional. And if the kid isn't patient, so what? It's a nice thing to strive for.

It seems a lot of people are overly concerned about the teasing potential, but they're only the people who have never met a Patience. I know two girls named Patience and neither were teased, one is still school aged.

Patience is a virtue, not just a random 'word name'. It has been used as a name for a long time.

One of few virtue names that I actually like (the others being Hope and Verity). I think it's a pretty word to begin with, not to mention a really admirable virtue. Sure, there might be a *couple* jokes about being patient/impatient growing up, but I don't think they'll be nearly as damaging as jokes made about girls named, say, Chastity or Honour ("on her"). I also love the song by Guns 'N' Roses, which adds to my liking for the name.

This is such a weird name.

Some people might say this is a little old-fashioned. Well, it is, but I still like it. :P

I think Patience is pretty, but I adore the Spanish version, Paciencia :) Just beautiful.

This name is not nice at all! I hate when people turn plain English words into names! Ugh!
