HelpRe: Charity
in reply to a message by abbasdaughter
I think "Charity? Charity case more like it". I don't like the sound, I think it's a bit tacky even by virtue name standards, and it has miles and miles of teasing and bullying material.
It does make a change from Lily, Sophia etc, but I'd much rather meet a little... I don't know... Hermione, Vivienne, Cordelia, Iris, Ivy, Genevieve etc etc... than any of them. Charity is more unusual than Lily or Sophia, but it isn't any "better". The only real thing it has going for it is that it's unusual and slightly quirky, but I find it far from charming. If Sophia was as uncommon as Charity, I'd choose the former any day, and Sophia is difficult to have strong feelings about as a name, and insanely common, so it's hardly interesting to me. Eh. I'm not sure how clear my point is but I hope clear enough?
So I don't really like Charity - I find it a bit twee and tacky and it has room to be terribly, horribly ironic if little Charity grows up to be mean spirited and tight-fisted. However, I guess I don't hate it. Meh. Each to their own, I guess.
