[Opinions] sort of (m)
It's in-between category from word names that are so common that they don't feel like word names anymore (eg Grace) and those that are so uncommon that they feel too much like words and not names (eg Justice).I guess it's a nice name, though I can't help thinking, as usual: "but what if she turned out to be clinically depressed"?

There's help for that now... and there needs to be something to brighten ones depression... A good dose of joy is a good thing.

Yeah, I know, but I have this issue with word names that I can't help imaginging situations where they'd look silly, such as a clinically depressed Joy, a really unfair Justice, a mean and selfish Charity and so forth.

I went to school with a girl named Charity who was not nice at all. In fact, she was kind of a bully, but it didn't make me think that she should have had another name. I don't see word names as something the person has to be.

Neither do I, but it doesn't stop me from imagining situations where the person might display traits opposite to their name.
