Just last night as I was flipping through my baby name book, I spotted the name Promise. I have used it before in stories (I am an avid writer), but I just fell in love with it. The meaning, a faithful woman, is also great. Your thoughts, opinions, and mn suggests would be amazing!

Thanks everyone!

It is okay. It sounds really pilgrim-esque, but that isn't necessarily bad. I don't like nicknames that come from it (Missy or Prom). I would much prefer Prudence (with the adorable nickname Prue). It has the same feel, but in my opinion a more practical sound.

I don't love it, sorry! It just seems like quite the name to live up too. Sounds like a very Puritan sort of name, like the Pilgrims went for way back when :) I could maybe see it being pulled off as a middle name, if you love it though?

WDYT? More? :)

Thank you both for you input! :)

Remy, I like Promise Hadley and Promise Maisie. Thanks! <3 Yes, I may end up using it as a middle...

More opinions and suggestions would still be great too from everyone. :)
