Chasity is an existing creepy one.
Prudence
Goodfaith
Temperance
Obedience
Sexwon't
I have met multiple people called Prudence
I've at least heard of Temperance as a name, too.
Yes, my point is they are weird things to name a baby because of what they mean.
Those two stand out because they're actual names. Have any of the others been used as names before?
Pretty sure Goodfaith was used in the past. The last 2 are a Simpsons reference.
Ah, surprised I missed it, then!
Tbh, if I could give my hypothetical child a value, it would be prudence. That’s just reasonableness, unrelated to prudishness. Iirc chastity meant something like humility to people in the 17th and 18th century, which is not something I would want to name a child today, but it’s less creepy than the modern meaning at least.
Chasity != chastity
