What's the english view on this name? It's a pretty name (to us) and popularish where we're from, although it'd be spelt Vira. Thought Anglicising it though to Vira. Surname '....kov'

Vira too much like Virus or Vampira for me.

Slightly comical, old-fashioned.

I know a Vera. I like it.

Definitely Duckworth, sorry.

Well I'm not english I'm afraid
but I like the meaning (St Vera so Faith) but I don't know if I like the name itself.
I have a friend called Vira and she is lovely, you wouldn't happen to be ukrainian?
Vira I think looks nicer than Vera. But as an actual name...no don't think so.

Like it and think it will seem less 'oldladyish' with a non-english surname.

I love it.

Did not think of Duckworth

I really like Vera. Works well in most languages too - I know a lovely German one.
