HelpRe: Chastity
in reply to a message by Perrine
I always assumed they used Chasity because they liked the sound of Chastity but not so much the meaning, or they wanted to separate the name from its association with Sonny & Cher. Or they didn't like the tit part. Anyway, shallow reasons, like with Emmaleigh vs Emily, or like now Aubrey and Zoey are more popular than Audrey and Zoe.
I don't even know if they are supposed to sound different but I've always assumed that Chasity rhymes Cassidy.
I think Chastity is an interesting old virtue name, though nmsaa, and its use by Sonny & Cher is a very interesting case. In real life it and Chasity are sort of oddities, but don't strike me any particular way. They're like, Colleen and Sharyl. Whatever.
