[Opinions] Peace & Plenty
In a book I read (Eight Cousins by Lousia May Alcott) there were two old aunts named Aunt Peace & Aunt Plenty and I just though it was rather interesting. I love virtue names and I've heard Peace before but never Plenty, so WDYT of it?

I just read this book about a month ago, and I commented on the names to my husband. I think both are fine for book characters, but I really don't like either for a real person.

I love Peace has a middle name. Plenty is interesting, but something I wouldn't use.

I don't care much for virtue names in general. I just hope if there's a little Plenty out there that she isn't fat... As for Peace, it acceptable as a name, but I would never use it, reminds me of hippies.

Peace might make a nice name, but Plenty has too much teasing potential. Together they are too cutesy for a sibling set.

I think names like that work in books like that, but I don't know how well the name Plenty would work nowadays. Peace might be okay as a middle name. It's kind of like Serenity, Serena, etc.
