原Am I the only who thinks that this name is a rather strange virtue name? Nevertheless, I think it has some sort of an odd charm about it. Although I personally would not use it, I can certainly imagine it being used as a second name than a first name, possibly denoting the child's character?
原I believe that this is a lovely name for a little girl. True Piety is not only the appearance of devotion, but also the love, faith, respect, self-sacrifice, and humbleness that comes from loving God. Piety can also be seen as loyalty, such as filial Piety which means loyalty and love for one's family. What virtue could be more desirable for a child?
原To me, PIETY is not a virtue. It is the state of being pious -- and the dictionary defines "pious" as:
- characterized by a hypocritical concern with virtue or religious devotion; sanctimonious. - practiced or used in the name of real or pretended religious motives, or for some ostensibly good object; falsely earnest or sincere: a pious deception.
Piety is an act that people put on so as to APPEAR goodly and religious, for whatever reason. It's not about loving God, but rather it's about IMAGE, and looking the part. So, to me, naming your daughter Piety is essentially naming her Hypocrisy or Poseur.

译 我是唯一认为这个名字是一个相当奇怪的美名的人吗？然而，我认为它有一些奇怪的魅力。虽然我个人不会使用它，我可以想象它被用作第二个名字比名字，可能表示孩子的性格？

译 我相信这是一个可爱的名字为一个小女孩。真正的虔诚不仅是奉献的出现，而且是来自爱的上帝的爱，信念，尊重，自我牺牲和谦卑。虔诚也可以被视为忠诚，例如孝顺，意味着对家庭的忠诚和爱。什么美德对孩子更可取？

译 对我来说，PIETY不是一个美德。它是虔诚的状态 - 字典将“虔诚”定义为：\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e - 其特点是对美德或宗教奉献的虚伪关注;圣典。\u003cbr\u003e - 以真实或假装的宗教动机或一些表面上良好的对象的名义来实践或使用;虚假认真或真诚：虔诚的欺骗。\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e虔诚是人们为了无论什么原因善良地和宗教地放置的行为。这不是关于爱上帝，而是关于IMAGE，看看部分。所以，对我来说，命名你的女儿Piety基本上命名她的虚伪或Poseur。
