A Friend is worried about their choice of name

And, what happened to the friends? Changing your name because you wronged somebody doesn't help anything.

Valerie is a beautiful name, spelled correctly.

Anyways, with apologies to Moxie Crimefighter Gillette, the original Moxie, it's not a great name. I'd go back to Valerie, spelled correctly. It means "to be strong". Or even spell it Valory if she likes that better, since she was using that spelling already. Then apologize sincerely and make amends to their friends as best they can. Own whatever it was that they did wrong, instead of running away. Their life will be better for it, if only to be able to take some pride in fixing their mistakes and wrongdoings.
