Interested in your thoughts on the name Prudence. If you had to describe what style you think it is, what word/s word you use?
And what middle names do you think might go nicely with it?! TIA x |

It's theoretically okay, but I don't particularly like the sound of it, nor the potential nickname Prue. I much prefer Constance
