I don't see it as a hooker name at all. In fact it's about the furthest you can get from hooker in my mind, which is Puritan. Very Puritan. I have recently been falling in love with
Patience, though.
I think the main difference is that "patience" is not something I attribute to lust or hedonism :S Names like
Desire,
Destiny,
Diamond, and
Candy can all have associations that are either sexual or materialistic, but
Patience is like.. the opposite of those things.
As an aside, I don't find Ebony-Rose stripperish, though I do find it slightly tacky.
