I like Verity, the others not so much. They don't feel like real names to me.

Verity is lovely.

The other two remind me of the contraceptive pill for some reason.

Verity is the best

The other 2 I've never heard of. Are they real names or made up? They sound made up

Verity is nice.

The other two are surnames with an A tacked on. One of them is MY surname, incidentally!

Verity is a clear winner there.

If you like Lovella (which I've never come across) have you considered Lavinia?

I don't like Verity at all but it is the obvious choice next to the other two names.

Norvella sounds like Novella with a typo.

Lovella sounds like a wedding dress shop.

Both sound 100% made up.

Or a sex toy shop.

Verity's the only nice one. The others definitely sound like products of some sort.

Norvella and Lovella sound like vomiting bugs!

I agree with the others.

Verity.

Agree with everyone else about the other two. The other two also look like they should sound very similar. Are you keen on names ending in "ella" or "vella"?

I don't really like the name Verity either, but it's streets ahead of the other two.

I've never come across Norvella or Lovella. How about Loveday instead?

I read that as Novella at first, the other name sounds like a pudding. Verity is ok

Verity. The other 2 sound like medication.

Only one of them is a name, so pick that if it has to be one of them.

Norvella sounds like a wart cream, Lovella more like a foundation.
Sorry...

Norvella sounds like diarrhea medicine . Lovella sounds like condoms.

Verity is lovely.

Don't like any. Verity is the best of an horrendous bunch
Norvella is actually making my think of Nutella.
Lovella yes I agree with pp. it sounds like a make of condoms.
None of my business people can call their kids what they please but have people get an aversion to not giving their kids unusual names now.
If you're wanting to be unique use something like. Ann,Catherine, Helen, Michelle or Lisa. Names on that line, I guarantee you won't find many if any of those in a class
