HelpRe: Unusual virtue names
in reply to a message by ari.
Esperanza - idk, it's a normal enough seeming Spanish name; comes across as fancier or more formal than Hope does to me (yet I prefer Hope). 6/10
Verity - there's something simultaneously too cold and too peppy about it; I like Vera and Charity more, or even Veritas. 4/10
Clarity - refreshing, one of my fav unusual word names; the vibe's kinda like Clare meets Serenity. It also reminds me vaguely stylewise of Cassidy, Ember, Claribel, Allegra, Destiny. 6/10
Reverie - I think this is pretty but in a way that's sad/nostalgic/frustrated, kinda like Halcyon; my strongest but off-the-wall association is Orpheus and Eurydice because of "revert" / "looking back" / illusory imagery. I get a less melancholic feeling from Dream or Renaissance. 5/10
Darling - ...less dated than Darlene and less poetic than Starling; acceptable if Honey is (I could go either way but generally think it's awkward). 2/10
Holiday - I prefer it to days of the week as names, at least, and it'd be more lowkey than Loveday. There's an actress named Holliday Grainger. 6/10
Anthem - this reminds me of bugs (because...? ants? antenna? I dunno) and phlegm and people being weirdly patriotic; it's an ugly word IMO. 2/10
Levity - aww. I think this is cool. Better than popular Legacy. Less preppy and/or dated than Hilary. FYI, I also like Lev, plus I like Gravity and Sollemnia as GPs. 6/10
Beloved - I don't hate it; seems less awkward than Darling or Precious would to me and more like Cherish and Blessing. Also I think it's got an antique vibe similar to Pansy or Beulah but more idyllic. I think of ephemera. 3/10
