HelpRe: Unusual virtue names
in reply to a message by ari.
Esperanza: Esperanza Rising (One of my fav childhood books), and House on Mango Street. Beautiful name that’s raspy while still being feminine. The z really gives it that oomph of allure.
Verity: I find this name to be pretty, but I would just use Vera, which I find vastly better. Verity reminds me of purity, and virginity? For some reason??? But either how decent name I just wouldn’t use it.
Clarity: This is a word to me, hardly a name, but then again I like a whole bunch of word names. I would prefer Claire, but then again I do like how Clarity has that luminescent look and feels like fresh clean water on your tongue. I can imagine it on a grandma or a child.
Reverie: I never really paid this name any attention until a while ago, but I like the meaning and the sound is kinda cool. It sounds like it has some sort of position of authority, like Scout almost, but it’s actually soft. I can imagine Scout and Reverie as sisters. Anyway, I think Reverie is really calm and serene. But it has that protruding sound at the end that makes it pop, stand out.
Darling: This would be OK as a middle name, but as a first name somebody would really need to be able to pull it off. Darlene would be a better option. Also Tegan would be so cute and then you call her “darling”.
Holiday: I think of Billie Holiday, which isn’t at all a bad association. That said, it has a gentle but impactful sound, so it’s not at all a bad name. I’d rather Holiday can Halloween. But once again, more of a middle name.
Anthem: Nope.
Levity: It has a nice meaning, but I don’t actually like it as a name. It is quite humorous.
Beloved: You have Esme, Amy, Cara, Carina, Jedidah, with any variant spelling of those names or variant name. Hell you can even use Love if you want. Why Beloved?
