Trailer trash/ Chav names
Ayslhyn:
Kind of reminds me of a former Chancellor of the Exchequer who had three daughters named respectively Thomasina, Nigella and Horatia. Sort of get the idea he wanted sons?
Ellatrue:
I'd have to say, I kind of like names that are based on nouns or adverbs, etc, and actually have a meaning in English, unless it's something ridiculous, like Chastity. I think it indicates something good, a more natural trend toward the naming of children. I mean, isn't it kind of odd, culturally, to pay more attention to the sound of the name than the meaning of a name? I like names like Grace, Faith, Clementine and Jasper. I think virtue names are kind of nice, and I think most of them aren't unduly burdensome, just a nice reference--so long as you don't name your child something like Patience or Chastity.
Ayslhyn:
Or Apple. And I say this as a mac-user.

I encountered a Charity the other day. Her mother was yelling at her. I came home, laughed, and told my mum, who went, "Ooh! That's a lovely, pretty name!" *headdesk*
witch:
If I heard someone yelling, 'Chariteee', in the street I would be so tempted to yell, 'Faith, Hope' back to them. ;D
