Verity ❤️

Champy87 · 27/12/2018 22:53

I’m a dark haired Lucy too (31) and have always been fairly fond of my name.

I love Meredith and it’s on my list but I’m worried people will think it’s after Greys Anatomy. If you’re not a fan of the show you should be fine though.

I like Etta also. Short and classic too and I only know of one toddler in my area.

Not a fan of Jocelyn or Verity I’m afraid

RavenWings · 27/12/2018 15:42

Verity, Etta or Meredith. Lucy is very bland and Jocelyn is ugly.

I'd probably go for Meredith. I think Etta will be popular and I don't think I'd really want to be Verity myself.

Jocelyn.

Verity is the most wet fish name ever.
YYY to this^

motortroll · 27/12/2018 09:13

The others sound like Enid blyton boarding school names.

motortroll · 27/12/2018 09:12

Lucy is not boring. It's classic! (Might also be my name!)

I like it best out of that list actually. Etta second fave.

AndCallMeNancy · 27/12/2018 07:59

I love Etta!

hoping2018 · 27/12/2018 07:56

Love verity - winner by far

Itisnearlybedtimeyet · 27/12/2018 03:31

Meredith - okay
Jocelyn - no
Etta - cute
Lucy - boring
Verity - horrible!

Tweety1981 · 27/12/2018 00:52

Jocelyn , I know one and she is full of life and joy , super intelligent and a fantastic personality .

Astronica · 27/12/2018 00:50

You've probably decided by now, but just wanted to vote for Lucy, my clear favourite from your list. Verity as 2nd choice.

MikeUniformMike · 23/12/2018 19:19

How about Josceline as a prettier spelling?

HalfBloodPrincess · 23/12/2018 18:54

I’m a lucy and I’m dark haired and chunky with blue eyes too 😂

Tina35 · 23/12/2018 18:52

Jorisa

Anela
Keisy

daisypond · 23/12/2018 18:46

I like Lucy and Verity best. Quite like Jocelyn. Not wild about Etta - feels like a nickname, it's a bit bland. I don't like Meredith at all.

Highlowpo · 23/12/2018 18:19

Meredith nn Merry is top of our list. We love that it has lots of nickname options.

CakeRattleandRoll · 23/12/2018 13:51

Love Jocelyn nn Joss.

Creas35 · 23/12/2018 08:08

Shout them all out loud like you would in a playground and see if any sound odd to you get the list down by a few! I love Etta from your list x

moredoll · 23/12/2018 06:57

Meredith (nn Merry)
Verity
Lucy
Jocelyn
Etta

Notveryadventurousname · 23/12/2018 00:22

Meredith - Edie for short?

Amazonian27 · 22/12/2018 23:45

Lucy is quite common among my DC’s peers 13 and 14. Out of your list th only name I like is Verity. I have never cane across a Verity before it’s different but sounds lovely. Have you looked up the meaning of the names you like as one might stand out for you.

DramaAlpaca · 22/12/2018 23:42

It would have to be Lucy for me, it's so gorgeous.

SnowyPaws5 · 22/12/2018 23:41

Anything but Verity. Verity is the most wet fish name ever.

My favourite out of your list is Etta.

wombatsears · 22/12/2018 23:37

Meredith

Shadow1234 · 22/12/2018 23:22

Meredith is my favourite on your list.
