Happy Thanksgiving!
For those of you in the US, I hope you’re having a lovely day filled with the ones you love. If you’re outside of the US, here’s hoping you have yet to grow weary of posts about Pilgrim names.
Today’s list is a tribute to the season, but also the answer to a question: aren’t there any good virtue names for boys? If your short list for girls includes Hope and Charity, here are possible options for their brothers.

There’s no Baby Name of the Day post today, and normally I’d just link up to a bunch of the best holiday-inspired baby name posts in Sunday’s Summary.
But then I spotted Nameberry’s cool Thanksgiving Baby Names post, complete with slideshow.
And I remembered this post, from last year’s holiday.
So I’m asking: if you had to name a baby today, and you absolutely had to incorporate the holiday your child’s name, what would you choose?
Feel free to play along even if you’re not in the US … actually, you’ll probably have more free time.
I’ll choose a handful and run a poll in the Sunday Summary so we can vote for our favorite. Winner gets bragging rights!
So bring ‘em on: girl or boy, what would you name a Thanksgiving-born child? Mercy? Myles? Tom? I can’t wait to read the comments!
NOTE: I’ve closed comments, since the polls are already up in this week’s Sunday Summary. Feel free to leave another idea there – and vote!
