I had a thrill of excitement when I saw this in the baby name book today, before that it was an old lady name!
What do you think?
Ooh think I might use it regardless... even if baby is a boy :o
I kid, I kid.
I think :o

Vera is lovely. Works in most languages and sounds feminine. And isn't overused. What is there not to like?

I like it! Was toying with using it myself if DC2 is a girl. There is a family connection so will probably use it as a middle name at least.

Horrendous! How about Vita? Smile

I was thinking Wang, Coccyx :o
Not really, but now that you mention it
Veronica? Is Vera not respectable on it's own? Confused

Duckworth or Lynn??

Adore! Was at the top of my girl names list before we found out we're having a boy.

Horrible!

My ds has a name that is probably the boy equivalent of Vera, we too had that same feeling, even though it wasn't a name we had ever considered.
If that's the name you like, then go for it. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

It's horrid.

There is one in my dds class, I think its really cute. Her real name Veronica which is perfectly respectable.

I think it's lovely but a lot of people will say Duckworth.
