I heard this today at a soft play. She was only about 1yr old, and had an older sister India. What do you think? I kind of think it's cute, but a bit try hard.

So very lovely !

I quite like virtue-type names, but Cherish confuses me because it's a verb. Does it mean she is cherished or she cherishes? The former, I presume, but I don't like it for that reason - irrational really!

Chastity?

My daughter has one of the more unusual virtue names mentioned above and we mainly get compliments (the occassional raised eyebrow)

I think Cherish would be the Same

I like hope and faith. Cherish not so - it sounds harsh.

I think it's a lovely name. If we can have Hope, Faith, Charity, Verity etc then why not Cherish? It has a lovely sound too.

love it

I know lots of girls who are Patience, Faith, Precious, Princess, Cherish etc, it is very common to name children these in lots of African cultures.
I quite like it. I really love Grace, Honor and Hope.

I quite like it but I'd be embarrassed to be named it myself because I'd be paranoid that other people would think that I thought I was amazing and more valuable than other people. Which is stupid because nobody names themselves. But I'd still think it.

I think that's why I like Faith, Hope and Grace but not Patience, Blessing and Honor. Senseless really.
