Baby names that are nouns or adjectives?

[aristocatz]

What are some names that are also pretty nouns or adjectives?

For example, my daughter's middle name is Joy & I have a friend who's first name is Noel.

I'm trying to help gather a list for a friend who is trying to decide on baby names. She is having twins-a boy and a girl & she is looking to have their middle names be a noun or adjective that means something nice

So far from your suggestions-please keep them coming!!

BOY:
Hunter
Sonny
Rock
Archer
River

GIRL:
Melody
Harmony
Prudence
Temperance
Mercy
Destiny
Windy
Rain
Sandy
Ray (Rae)
May (Mae)
Joy
Noel
Grace
Hope
Angel
Faith
Charity
Pearl
Summer
Autumn
April

Olive

I think what you're looking for is known as a "virtue" name. I'm sure the baby name sites probably have a list. Ranging from popular ones (Hope, Grace, Joy) to the less-popular (Mercy, Prudence, Temperance, etc.)

Here are a couple of lists:

Thank you!! She told me she tried to do an online search, but couldn't figure out what to title it! I will pass along these links to her!

Harmony or Melody would work for a girl.

My FIL's best friend's name is "Loyal." (It's one of the virtue names. It seemed weird when I first met him, but does not seem weird now.) My nephew is Carter, one of the "occupation" names that are common for boys now (similar to Archer or Hunter).

Deacon.

That's a religious figure, right? (Sorry if that sounds dense -- grew up non-religious & continuing that tradition so I'm unfamiliar)

Boys names are a little harder to think of.
