Cherish

[KnockMeDown]

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.

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.

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.

my mum taught a Silence

love it

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.

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

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

Chastity?

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!

So very lovely !

Not keen

Nope

Sorry I can't believe I'm writing this.... but to me it sound a bit "adult entertainment industry"🙈

Cherish - no.

But then, I was keen on Temperance or Deliverance for a girl in my hormone-induced frenzy while pg.

Thank Fuck DS was a boy.

No way😂

Horrendous. Think of the kid as an adult in a job interview in 20 years' time.

Pretty common in lots of West African cultures, where plenty of the girls manage to have whole careers without a single foray into adult entertainment

I love it. It's so soft and sounds huggable...if that makes any sense. There was a girl a couple of years older than me in school called Cherish, but I've never seen another.

I would hear this in my head every time I saw her...

It's quite sweet but depending on your cultural heritage I might raise an eyebrow slightly, or not, depending. I know the more unusual virtue names in U.K. culture are pretty standard in West African cultures.

Awful. I like Charys though.

I quite like it, it has a soft sound and a nice meaning.

I like it. Cherry would be a nice nickname

@HaHaHmm we're not in West Africa though are we. It does have those connotations.

I'll resist the temptation to eye roll back at you.
