Re: Destiny
in reply to a message by Lily
I just think it sounds silly, sorry. I don't think of pioneers, that's for sure! But nor do I think of strippers.
To me it's a wannabe-virtue name that misses the point of virtue. It tends to get classed with virtue names but when you think about it, it's really not a virtue. To me, the fact that some people think having a destiny is a virtue demonstrates everything that is wrong with our celebrity-driven culture.
So... to me it's a trendy/consumerist/celebrity name in the same class as things like Chanel, Lexus, Mercedes and so on. Definitely not my style.
