| I'd go for the names of the cooler Popes, the ones wearing the shades. |

That's more for a girl. |

| OP I think the answer is no. There really are not any well established popular secular "virtue" names like Hope, Joy or Faith. Most of the posters are picking up religious names from one particular religion that tie back to historical biblical or church figures or names that have an underlying meaning that isn't known generally which seem very different from the more universal girl names examples you cited. |

OP here--thanks to all for the ideas. I do like the name Justice, but don't think I will be bold enough to use it.  Thanks again!

I went to HS with a guy named Justice. He was a lovely person, lit up a room, very popular, and grew up to be a very fine man. |

| Not a virtue name, but I kinda dig the Fox 5 reporter named Wisdom. With a name like that, TV reporter is pretty much the best fit for him! |
