Are these parents stupid, or just quirky?

The name Chasity is getting to be more common for little girls.

No, not Chastity. Chasity.

I’ve been assuming that the parents are morons who can’t spell. But maybe naming their kids this way is a deliberate act based on relative ease of pronunciation - or they’re trying to be “different”.

If the latter is the case, then why aren’t we seeing babies named Prudece? Or Fath, Hop and Charty?

Stupid.

Next question please. :rolleyes:

They’re afraid of all the schoolyard taunting a child named Chas-titty might get.

Chasity is a name given by parents who like the sound of Chastity but not the meaning.

NOTICE
I have resisted saying something that wasn’t nice.[list][list]But it wasn’t easy[list]:frowning:

Actually the Fath, Hop, and Charty sisters live right down the street.

I had an ex who wanted to name her firstborn either “Bryson” or “Braden.” She balked when I said I wanted to name a child after Greco-Roman wrestling legend Aleksandr Karelin, claiming that ‘Aleksandr’ was just “too weird.”

I will have you know, Jackmannii, that people ARE naming little girls Prudence. I myself have a three-year-old Emmie Prudence at home. :slight_smile:
