With Rose as middle name to go with 2 syllable surname beginning with 'S'.

Very different names imo- Verity nice- the ones I know are pretty posh! I'm afraid Bryony sounds too much ike Brian to me, but maybe I pronounce it wrong?

Bryony
Verity sounds a bit "spiky" to my ears. And a bit like "ferrety"

I'm liking Verity at the moment. The young me would be quite surprised.

Bryony sounds like someone is being 'like Bryan' as in that's a bit 'Bryan-ie'.

I like them both, but Verity.

I don't think Verity is ever going to be in the top 50. it's like violet or hazel. it's appeal is more specific if that makes sense.

LOL at "ferrety"
Bryony gets my vote; sounds like briar rose a little bit, with Rose as the mn, so actually a bit like a floral name.
