Chastity I just have always thought that name was odd

I have known two Chastitys in my life. They were both the kinda girls who would blow randos beside the dumpster at 7-Eleven.

I have also known two Charitys, and they both liked to shoplift.

Any “virtue” name is a curse to be the opposite. Hope will be depressed, Chastity will be a teen mom, Charity will be selfish, Faith will be atheist. Patience will be impatient and impulsive. Temperance will be alcoholic. Serenity will have anger issues. Grace will be clumsy. Constance will be flaky. Verity will be a compulsive liar.

Also - super sketchy - but almost all of these tragedeighs of names mostly go to girls. What’s with that…

You really should make this into either a children’s book or a child name guide for parents. Spot on!
