[Opinions] Virtue
Replies
Virtue as a name is corny. I don't like it.
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
Valor
But 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
Honor
Charity 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.
