    I don't normally like 'virtue' names - Verity, Patience, Chastity - but if 'Clarity' could be one, I could make an exception.

        I chose 'Lucy' for my daughter because it comes from the Latin noun that gives us 'lucid' & 'elucidate' - clarity.

        But then I was thinking quite specifically in terms of religion & magical thinking. Now, I see the problem much more widely.

        Would Objectivity-fying your daughter be a sign or symptom of a misogynistic culture?

        Verity is a good name imho. Even if you don't like it tho, it's a huuuuge step above Chastity at the very least.
