Virtue as a name is corny. I don't like it.

I don't think most people would get Frank as a virtue name. It took me a few seconds to get it.

Mercedes
Patience (recent like, since I found some in my tree)
Faith

I don't think Virtue makes a good name.
Truely is spelled wrong (should be Truly, and Truth or True is much namier)I like Joy, Amity, Constance, and Grace. The others, I think are just okay. Except Felicity, which I hate.

I think all of the names you listed are useable, although Joy and Hope are the only ones I like. I think Virtue itself as a name seems pretty silly. Not a good idea.Virtue/Puritan names I like...
F
Clarity (maybe... I go back and forth)
Clemence / Clemency
Constance / Constancy
Grace
Honor
Piety
Providence
Prudence
Rejoice
Remembrance
Temperance
Verity (I go back and forth on this, too)M
Constance
Grace
Makepeace
Noble
Perseverance
Pius
Prosper
Troth
ValorBut I wouldn't condone using many of them as first names. I think virtues make great middle names, though.

These are all definitely usable:
Patience - I used to know a Patience.
Faith - I know someone with this name.
Joy - I've met multiple Joys.
Hope
Verity
Amity - I used to know one.I especially like Patience, Verity, and Amity. Other virtue names I like:
Constance
Felicity
Mercy
HonorCharity isn't one I'd use myself, but I think it's a pretty name.I really like Valor for a boy. Noble is nice too. I wouldn't use Justice and Loyal myself, but they're decent as names.I've seen True used as a first name before. I think it works. Same with Truth. I'm not too sure about Truly, though. I automatically thought of the phrase "Yours truly,", which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It just strikes me as a little off in terms of a name.Virtue is NMS. I prefer an actual virtue as a name rather than just Virtue.
