Tbh, if I could give my hypothetical child a value, it would be prudence. That’s just reasonableness, unrelated to prudishness. Iirc chastity meant something like humility to people in the 17th and 18th century, which is not something I would want to name a child today, but it’s less creepy than the modern meaning at least.
