Verity is fine. I don't love it, but it's inoffensive and perfectly alright.

Strongly dislike the other two.

Isn't Waverley an area of Liverpool (or do I mean Wavertree?) ? It also sounds like a passenger ferry. Sorry OP, it doesn't sound like a lovely girl's name to me.

Verity's beautiful - it was on our shortlist 6 years ago - and I still love it but are you aware that it's become very popular now?

Verity is by far the nicest name.
Waverley is a suburb in Sydney so a bit odd to me.

Kayla

Love Verity!

I like Kayla but it depends on your accent - I don’t like it if it is pronounced to rhyme with Tyler.

Verity is also nice and probably the safest choice.

Waverley is a train station.

DramaAlpaca · 08/06/2018 21:54

Verity is the nicest, Kayla at a push.

Waverley - just no.

Proudmummy2MA · 08/06/2018 21:40

Verity is a lovely name. I'm not keen on the other two though I'm afraid. Waverley makes me think of the train station.

I really dont like Waverley, sorry. Verity is the best of the three. Kayla is nice the more i think about it.

What about
Harper
Avery
Melody
Tabitha

I was brought up in Edinburgh so cannot get beyond Waverley Station/Sir Walter Scott association.

Verity sounds too like ferret or something ratty.

Why not something more classic? I think we sometimes overthink names.

Verity.

MadameJosephine · 08/06/2018 21:07

Verity, beautiful name

MrsCD67 · 08/06/2018 21:06

Verity is ok
The others are horrible

Verity

starsandstuff · 08/06/2018 21:03

Verity, out of the 3.

HeyDolly · 08/06/2018 21:01

I really like Verity. I really don’t like the other two.

CrunchieFriday · 08/06/2018 21:00

Verity ( love this)

My dog was called Kaila ( much beloved) so I can't get past that, even though I like the name!

Waverley - I don't like at all ( sorry)
