Pronouncing "Content", a woman's name?

But none of the other months. Similarly, Autumn, Summer and Winter but no Spring. And only Wednesday (fictitious) and Tuesday (nickname) but not the other days of the week.

And all of the flowers. Rose, Lily, Petunia, Daisy, etc. Flowers, gems, and virtues, between them, seem to cover most of the meaningful English women’s names (though there are a few others).

Victor means Victor, but it comes from German, which happens to have the same word for that as English. The others, I think are only coincidental.

If I’m not mistaken, female Hobbits are named exclusively for flowers. Bilbo’s mother was Belladonna Took, Sam married Rosie Cotton, etc.

There’s a meme going around that says something to the effect of:

HOBBIT DAD: Here are my daughters - Daisy, Rose, and Snowdrop.
HOBBIT DAD: And here are my sons - Chungus, Bongwater and Dumbo.

I’d say it comes from Latin. The Standard German noun meaning “victor” is “Sieger” (from “siegen”, meaning “to win”; and yes, “Sieg Heil” shares that root too). It might be that a hundred or so years ago, people might have poetically used “victor” in German as a loan word from Latin, but it would have been considered a non-German word.

Years ago in Seattle I met a September. Without my even asking her husband volunteered that her parents had been hippies.

Had a coworker (and friend) who was born in May, so of course her mother named her April. I used to kid her about that.

Rudyard Kipling was named after a lake in England where his parents had met.

Once I imagined writing fiction about somebody in the Washington, DC area who has three daughters, naming them Virginia, Marilyn, and Columbia.

It took me a few headlines to figure out that the person who leaked the Russian election interference report was not a victorious reality TV contestant.

I went to college with a guy whose girlfriend was named September.

I knew a girl in high school named Dolores, whose middle name was Mercedes.

I wish my kids named their kids names like I’m hearing here.

I have to admit the grandkids fit their names now. No matter how weird they are. (Names and Kids)

The seven virtues are traditionally chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, kindness, patience, and humility. Then the heavenly virtues are prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude, and the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity. Some of them caught on as women’s names. Never heard of Content as a name.
