[Opinions] Fate?
WDYTO Fate? I know it follows the same lines as Faith and Destiny, but does it hold up as a name? Combo ideas? Can it have a full name to go along with it?

It just seems...blunt, though thats not really the word I am looking for. It feels, unfinished? It would really need the right name paired with it for it to flow.
Seeing as how I don't lik Faith or Destiny, I am not likely to use Fate, either.

Sorry, but no. It sounds creepy.

well realistically the name Fate can easily be turned into the word Fart so I would not recommend for real children... but as a character sure, I think its better than Faith and Destiny

What about Fortuna?Same meaning, but an established name (I really like it but it's a bit of guilty pleasure)

I think as a word it's very pretty, but as a name I don't love it. I would totally name a sim Fate, but never a person. Maybe a character in a book.

I would not use Fate as a name. And I would roll my eyes (secrectly) at the parents who named their child Fate.But, I did have to think about my reasons why. I love Faith, Hope and Harmony as names. I find Destiny, Noble and Patience acceptable as middle names. So, what don't I like about Fate? I guess because it could be negative, like he met with a terrible fate. And for me that would be tempting fate. I could never name my child something with strong negative connotations. But that's just me.

As a word, I think 'fate' has a bit more intrigue than your other examples, because it could just as easily be really negative as positive. As in 'met an untimely fate'.
As a name, I think it's pretty ridiculous.

I think, absolutely not. Fwiw I think Destiny is perfectly silly too
