Help[Opinions] Re: Purity, Chastity, or Pristine?
in reply to a message by gaelruadh19
I don't like any because they all make me think of something bad.
Purity makes me think of little girls that turn slutty just to live past their name.
Chastity reminds me of the same thing, but also chastity belts.
Pristine reminds me of a girl who is constantly fixing her hair and makeup.
These names could only work in a certain time period I think, when these were actually virtues that everyone admired in a person. Nowadays they don't seem to be taken seriously, and people with these names may well be made fun of. I do like the idea of them though...just not for today.

I still admire them in a person, much more today since it's very rare, which make sthe names more special. I'd still use them today, because it shows people still like that, if I named my daugther that I wouldn't expect her to be 'like' her name (well hopefully they would I hope to raise them that way) but no one is perfect. Yes they probably would get teased but only because people think it's weird to be 'pure' or have those type of values now a days.
Trust me I get it all the time, and gets gasps like I have somehting wrong with me.
