[quote=Anonymous]I tend not to like names that create expectations. I feel like generally people will compare the actual person with their expectations and too often the child will feel the pressure from those expectations and either conform or rebel against them. I think in the case of “Faith”, the expectation would be that either the individual would be exceptionally devout or would be an atheist, possibly hostile to religion. Unfortunately, religion itself is such a hot topic that whatever beliefs she eventually does or doesn’t have are bound to offend/antagonize someone. There’s a reason that conventional wisdom dictates that politics and religion should be avoided in polite conversation. By merely introducing herself, people’s minds will veer towards religion, and they’ll be framing their perceptions of her from that perspective, even if they don’t discuss it (which today is no longer a given).[/quote]
