Help[Opinions] Re: Silence
in reply to a message by Array
I dont like it, something about it makes me feel uncomfortable, the images I get are of a by gone age where women had no voice and were expected to remain silent and in the background.I get the same feeling from word names like Chastity.

I don't know what it is about Chastity...
But I know I'm not the only one who feels that the name Chastity gives off the exact opposite vibes from those it was originally intended to give off. Maybe it's an American thing, I don't know...

I agree. Chastity has a rather downmarket vibe, I'd say. Also, as with names like Princess, Angel, and Jolie, it sets up a girl to be a walking definition of the word "irony."

I think it is perhaps because Chastitys generally don't end up being chaste. I mean, most nuns can say they are, but not an average girl.

I'm sure you will find quite a few nuns named things like Sister Mary Grace or Sister Hope and whatnot, but I will personally eat my hat if somebody can show me a Sister Chastity. See, even the nuns know it. lol
Another factor working against Chastity's image is how often it's speled Chasity or Chassidy or Chassittee.

Yep, those sisters know that even if they may be chaste there is no reason to announce it to the world through their name choice.
