I saw this on a 'starting school' photo in our local paper yonks ago and thought, 'bit of a strong/loaded/thuggish name for a little kid' then last week I saw a kid around 12 having an argument with his younger sister and heard
Parent: 'Blade, what happened! Blade?'
B:'She hit me!'
Sister: Liar liar!
B: She did!

Talk about a name not fitting someone (and I'm kind of glad it doesn't) He seemed sweet/harassed. Im also pretty sure it is the same kids from that starting school photo, which was surreal.

Have you ever come across a name on someone that very blatantly doesn't fit?

The most polite and respectful little boy I've ever met... was named Storm. He was the exact opposite of his name, it was surreal.

It's actually one of the reasons I try to avoid virtue names (even though one of my favorites, Felicity, is technically a virtue name). The bearer is almost guaranteed to be the opposite: Joy is a grump, Patience is restless, Amity is standoffish, Honor lies, Grace... has none. You get the idea.

Every Joy I've known has been singularly joyless - either lacking in all emotions or angry and resentful.

The one Joy I've known has been kind but your reply has just made me realise I've only ever met one.

Yes a girl at school Serenity, and she is so far from being Serene
