[Opinions] As far as word names go...
in reply to a message by Flash
it's one of my favorites. Mercy, Verity, and Clarity probably make my top three. I'm kind of surprised that Clarity hasn't popped up more. People like word names, people like Clare/Claire; it would only make sense, you know?

The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness.
To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. -Marx-

I'm just surprised thatit hasn't caught on. It seems ripe for it, you know? Your friend has good taste, I think. :-) She was ahead of the times, name-wise.

She wasHer kids' names are Clarity Leigh (Leigh/Lee is a traditional family name for first kid, male Lee or female Leigh), Chloe Elizabeth (my friend's name is Elizabeth, nn Leighza, which her mom made up), Cassidy Alice Rose (should have been Claudia, continuing the CL- thing, but she found out Claudia means lame and wouldn't consider it after that; and Alice Rose was the midwife who delivered Cassidy), and most interestingly, Jamesjason Blue Rider, whom they call Rider (she had a younger brother Jason who died in a car accident, not sure why it had to be Jamesjason since that wasn't Jason's name). She has different tastes, for sure.~Lillian~

Jamesjason?That's a mouthful. :-) Kind of amusing how big of a difference there is between the girls' names and the boy's. I like Cassidy Alice Rose a lot; Cassidy is kind of a guilty pleasure name for me, and Alice Rose is almost too sweet.
