Admittedly, I first thought of Cherish, but I've been spazzing over names that end in -th lately, so it instantly grew on me. I pronounce it ker-eeth. It's from the Hebrew word karat, meaning to cut, so I'm not sure if that's a good connotation for me or not depending on how one thinks about it. If one means to cut through something, like a seasonal spring cutting through parched, dry land, that's a good connotation and I'm all up on that. Symbolic cutting away flaws and ills or what not, that's great imagery. Not so big on the first thing that probably comes into people's mind, which is cutting of actual things in a violent or purposeful manner. (I hope this makes sense, because I'm flying by the seat of my pants here, giving you the first things that come to mind.)

I think this is name-y enough. I want to use it and pronounce it cher-ith.
