Comments for CHASTITY:
This is such a cute name! It would also be cute to name a twin boy and girl Chase and Chastity.-- Tbird 7/8/2005
So Chase chases [sex!] and Chastity is the everlasting virgin? A sickly interesting juxtaposition.-- Anonymous User 12/25/2006
Chastity is the name of Cher and Sonny Bono's daughter.-- breakofday 12/30/2005
This name is like a pregnant girl wearing white on her wedding. Chastity means just that, pure and chaste. One day, your name will no longer fit you and you will most certainly get a few jokes. If you plan on your child being celibate or becoming a nun, this name is perfect.-- Anonymous User 8/5/2006
I really don't like this name, for most of the above reasons.-- wishenough 10/27/2006
I'm sorry, but this name inevitably brings sexual purity to mind; unless you plan on your daughter becoming a nun, this name just will not work on any level. Unless she is meant to become a nun, she will inevitably marry (or at least become involved with somebody) and then she won't be chaste anymore; even before then, she will likely be teased endlessly for her name.-- gaelruadh19 12/9/2006
Despite the meaning it sounds like a stripper name.-- victoire 2/23/2007
I love the sound, but for the above reasons I could never use it.-- YMPvt 3/11/2007
I actually find this name hilarious. It is the oddest thing for me but I love this name. I would name a daughter Chastity and call her Chase, because I also have a soft spot for girls to go by some (not all) boys names. I don't actually think that I would follow through with that because it would be a bit cruel to name a girl Chastity as a joke. Still, it's great for story characters.-- writing the world 3/16/2007
A pretty sound and a good thing to strive for until marriage, but as a name it's just too much. It's so ... unsubtle. It just makes me cringe.-- Katheros 8/16/2007
I imagine that Chastity would be a good name for a character in a book, but I think it would be cruel (especially nowdays) to give someone this name because she will become the butt of many a cruel joke.-- Katja Eidis 1/18/2008
I feel very sorry for the poor girls named Chastity, it just seems very out of date and the meaning is very unappealing to me.-- Anonymous User 2/9/2008
It would be quite hilarious if a girl named Chastity turned out very sexually active by age 14, or even more hilarious, a stripper or porn star. The name sounds corny and tacky, and it rather signals that the parents put too much value on the poor girl's hymen and aren't really concerned with how she herself might want to live her life.-- slight night shiver 4/20/2008
It sounds pretty but I would never name a child this because they will probably be made fun of and the meaning isn't the best.-- number1212 5/8/2008
Like Honor, Chastity is a name mainly used by parents with the misogynist belief that their daughter should remain a virgin or she'll ruin the family name. Better tell these people the Victorian era is over and not all women are pure and chaste.-- bananarama 8/6/2008
This is such a stripper name.-- GeorgiaLovely 9/29/2008
Every girl I knew while growing up who had this name was to put it delicately, sexually promiscuous. I knew of at least three who were this way, no joke. To name a girl Chastity in my view is cruel, it has become synonymous with the opposite of what it's intended to be.-- Arcticwarrior 3/28/2009
I picture a pregnant teenager, like wanting to defy their name and get revenge on parents. No, don't name your child this, she will be pregnant by 16.-- Anonymous User 6/25/2009
This name sounds vulgar and low-class, and like with most Virtue names, it seems like most Chastities end up being the exact opposite of their name. It also seems creepy for parents to advertise their daughter's so-called Chastity, like it's still the era when a woman's virginity was considered the property of her father, not something she had any autonomy over. I wouldn't use the name Abstinence either, but at least that doesn't seem as creepy and low-class as Chastity!-- Anyechka 8/11/2009
Not exactly famous, but there was a girl with this name on an episode of WifeSwap. She was a bratty teenager who sobbed when the replacement mom took her cellphone. They called her Chass on occasion.-- Riddy Rose 8/13/2009
I like this name and I think it sounds very pretty. I like the meaning. I wouldn't give a daughter this name, though. I would only give this name to a story character. If you like the sound of Chastity but don't want to name your daughter this, a good alternative could be Cassidy.-- Anonymous User 12/8/2009
This basically means "virginity", and it would be pretty funny if she did grow up to be a bit of a sex machine, to say it kindly. Really, with all the teenage pregnancies going on these days, it's just stupid to name a daughter this. What if she gets pregnant at an early age? What if she runs away from home and makes a living as a prostitute? It would still be weird even if she did remain a virgin until marriage, because then the hormones finally take over. What if she becomes a parent to a lot of children? This could go on and on, and I think I got my point across, so I'm just going to stop here.-- Black_X 5/9/2010
If one strips away the meaning and connotations with the word 'Chastity' the way it sounds is very beautiful.
I know a woman named Chastity and she goes by Chaz.-- elesion 8/5/2010
On the 90s sitcom "The Nanny", CC Babcock's full name is Chastity Clare Babcock.-- Black_X 7/18/2011
