Dads who named their Daughters “Chastity,” “Faith,” or “Charity” – how’s that working out?
October 21, 2025
my friends and I have somehow named our kids all "old lady" names, and somehow, they all act like little old ladies these days, down to the outfits and the "rose" perfume.

In my years of teaching, there was a direct relationship between these names and intelligence levels.
They are in rehab
Hey Chastity made it on Deadpool…. well… at least she was called to stage…
I have a friend named charity and she’s a renowned hand surgeon 🤷🏼
Faith is fine. Charity and Chastity… I’d be mad at my parents.
Hope is over there asking, “what the fuck??”
Those aren’t old woman names.
Delores, mildred, marge. Now those are old woman names
I have a cousin named Chastity who has 4 kids by 4 men and has never been married lol.
My son Clamhammer hasn’t gotten a date yet.
Chastity Dyck? Charity Dyck?
Ask Maurey povich.
I went to school with a girl named Charity. She was kind of a bitch.
The only person I know with one of those names is a girl who is very into body building and fitness.
She’s the top earner at her club. Makes us proud everyday and pays our car notes and mortgage.
She works with nevaeh at the strip club.
There was a survey in the UK I saw that said the number one name predicting a girl’s run-in with the law later in life was “Chardonnay.”
Ones a stripper.
One makes belts.
The other is blessed.
Go ahead and guess who is who.
My niece’s name is Faith, she’s a good kid. Pretty normal for her age and such. She doesn’t have old lady style in the slightest but she crochets as a hobby.
I have a friend named Charity. She’s happily married. Been with her husband over 25 years and they have 3 kids. She’s an office manager. Her only complaint is somehow people mix up her name calling her “chastity” instead of Charity 🤷🏻♂️
From the always relevant Terry Pratchettz “The Carter parents were a quiet and respectable Lancre family who got into a bit of a mix-up when it came to naming their children. First, they had four daughters, who were christened Hope, Chastity, Prudence, and Charity, because naming girls after virtues is an ancient and unremarkable tradition. Then their first son was born and out of some misplaced idea about how this naming business was done he was called Anger Carter, followed later by Jealousy Carter, Bestiality Carter and Covetousness Carter. Life being what it is, Hope turned out to be a depressive, Chastity was enjoying life as a lady of negotiable affection in Ankh-Morpork, Prudence had thirteen children, and Charity expected to get a dollar’s change out of seventy-five pence–whereas the boys had grown into amiable, well-tempered men, and Bestiality Carter was, for example, very kind to animals.”
Have friends who named their 2 daughters old lady names and they both (teenagers now) go by other names.
The scheduler at my dentist is named Destiny. Whenever I miss her call I have a voicemail that says, “Hello, this is Destiny calling…”
She joined ISIS.
Named my daughter Princess Consuela Bananahammock. Not sure how I feel about her marrying a guy named Crap Bag. 🫠
I don’t have daughters and my son is young with another still dancing on mom’s bladder, but I do know a chastity.
She is neither chaste nor sober. If she were named “full set of teeth” that would also not be a fitting name for her. In short, she likes crystal meth and will let the dirtiest heroin addict go balls deep without a barrier of anything other than Facebook thoughts and prayers.
I knew a Chastity. She was a huge crackhead and turned tricks for rocks.
My kid’s friend King must be very confused about the protests last weekend.
Should I have not named my daughter Hose-beast? 😬
This strikes me as causation vs correlation. The people who would name their kids “old lady names” are likely to be more conservative in nature and pass on the that trait vs the creative person, looking for zest in life.
Our last name is Clad. We named her Scantily.
I was on a bus with a bunch of teenagers getting out of high school one time. Sat in front of a group of “mean girls” talking shit about another girl that was not there but supposedly part of their circle. The conversation was being led by a true alpha bitch droning on and on about this girl when another girl from the group whines;
“Honour, you’re being such a BITCH!”
The wife of one of my buddies insisted their daughter be named Dymnd(diamond). She won out.
Friend group hasn’t stopped laughing about it.
I used to know a Nigerian guy named “Promise”. I would say: “If Promise says that the snow is white, he’s lying!”

Teacher here my experience with teenagers with these names:
Faith – these kids tend to be better than average students and not usually behavior issues in class.
Charity – only have had two students with this name. One was a very quiet studious to ng lady while the other was the polar opposite.
Chasity – Haven’t had a student with this name.
It’s usually the opposite. That’s why I named my daughter whore.
[they’ve been known to slip out on occasion](https://youtu.be/KnKVCcw0SVk&t=62s)
What about Constance Justice?
You just reminded me of this quote from one of my favorite movies, “Hope And Glory” (1987:
>[Grandfather George](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000846/?ref_=ttqu_qu): You want to know why they’re called Faith, Hope, Grace and Charity?
>[Bill Rowen](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0723579/?ref_=ttqu_qu): Why?
>[Grandfather George](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000846/?ref_=ttqu_qu): Your Grandmother. *She named them after the virtues I lack*. That’s marriage for you!
