Please help. We’re tied on our final two baby girl names & have 3 days until she’s registered. Which do you prefer?

I like both a lot. I'd probably go for Verity.

Verity.

Shadow1234 · 31/12/2018 15:57

Anya would be my preference

So nice just to see a choice between great names!!

olympicsrock · 31/12/2018 15:56

Both beautiful. It’s a win win situation so don’t agonise. How about one as the middle name. Only deciding factor is that people might misspell or pronounce Anya as Arnya or Anja .

Verity

Both are nice , I prefer Verity but Anya has got better nicknames/shortenings. Verity will always just be Verity.

SallyWD · 31/12/2018 15:34

Both nice but I prefer verity

GraceMarks · 31/12/2018 14:54

I really like both, actually. I would probably choose based on which sounded better with your last name. Can you tell us what it is, or maybe if it begins with a vowel, and is long or short?

Anya, a family member was recently called this, I think it's a great name, I always know an anja who is lovely so only have positive thoughts re the name.
