HelpRe: Unusual virtue names
in reply to a message by ari.
Let me start by saying that I adore Esperanza. I always have. If I married into a Latino family I would seriously consider using it (though from what I understand, it's perceived as just a little bit old fashioned).
That said... can't say I care for any of the other names. Beloved 100% makes me think of Toni Morrison's Beloved, and while that's one of my favorite books, the title character isn't exactly who you'd want to name your daughter after. And Felicity is probably the only -ity name I enjoy. (Verity also makes me think of "severity" rather than the truth.) Darling, Holiday, and Anthem don't even sound like names.
Reverie is a name I've seen pop up a couple times on these boards. I think it's interesting in print, though I'm not as fond of it said aloud.
