Re: Names on which you've done a complete 180.
Felicity. I thought it was so catlike and cuddly when I was about 9-12. I wished it was my name. Now I hate it a lot - like too much, extremely. It seems almost rude to me. Tacky and ugly and cloying, like Chastity or Peaches. Meeting a pleasant person named Felicity did nothing to make me hate it less. Apologies to you people who like it (but you have bad taste). Maybe the fact that I liked it before, is kinda why I dislike it so much now? I dunno.Milder flips: Tiffany (dislike to like), Sebastian (hate to positive/neutral), Valerie (like to dislike)- mirfak

BAHAHAHAHAHA! Okay, this made me laugh.I actually should've included Felicity in my OP (separate from the Charlotte entry), but in the exact opposite direction. When I was a kid I hated Felicity, primarily because I thought the TV show (with Keri Russell) was beyond stupid. Didn't grow to love the name until a couple years ago, and it's one of the only virtue names I enjoy.

I've actually started liking the virtue names, ever since I had the idea of a character with a virtue name who just... is having the absolute worst time. Character's name is Felicity? Cue depression. Name is Verity? Cue living a lie. Mercy? Yeah, it's gonna be a bloody story. I still wouldn't use them on a real person though.
