And I see your "Heck no" and raise you a "Hell no".
You do? Why not?
A multitude of reasons:
-It has the same teasability factor as Chastity and Purity.
-It's overtly sexual--implies sexuality in a way that makes me uncomfortable about it as a name.
-It's overbearing; what if Fertility doesn't want children?
-It could be hurtful; what if Fertility has difficulty conceiving?
-It sounds uneducated, along the lines of "joke" names like Female and Excema.
Would you like me to go on, or are those enough reasons for you?

Chastity and Purity aren't as IMO though. lol I would rather be named Purity, then Fertility.
Exactly.
Array said pretty much everything I was thinking.
Most virtue names, like Grace and Honor, work because most people agree that grace and honor are good qualities. Fertility, on the other hand, is not something that everyone desires. Naming a girl Fertility blatantly assumes that she will want (and have) children, and that's not a reasonable assumption.
