Verity?

Does anyone else like, or even think the name Verity is ok?!
I have always liked it but when I've mentioned it to a few others I've been met by looks of disgust 😂

I've known one Verity and she was mainly called Verty by her friends.

BlackCatsRule88 · 14/04/2020 21:46

I like it. I know two women named Verity, both are lovely. I don’t think either have their names shortened to Very.

What about Tabitha Wise?

OhTheRoses · 14/04/2020 21:43

Oh. Perhaps not with wise. Arietty? Imogen was on our list albeit 22 years ago! Xanthe? Felicity? Honor? Isolde? Lucia?

mrselizabethdarcy · 14/04/2020 21:42

Beautiful name .

Roselilly36 · 14/04/2020 21:42

One of my favourite girls names, I also love Felicity too.

thepurplepenguin · 14/04/2020 21:39

Yeah maybe not with Wise

triedandtestedteacher · 14/04/2020 21:36

No it doesn't go with wise

thepurplepenguin · 14/04/2020 21:36

My DD is a Verity. We've only ever had positive comments and she loves her name (despite the fact she can never get personalised merchandise Grin) She gets shortened to Vezza by her friends though so be warned...

DramaAlpaca · 14/04/2020 21:35

I like it, but not with the surname Wise.

BrooHaHa · 14/04/2020 21:35

Oh, no. Not Verity Wise.

Jigsawpuzzlebits · 14/04/2020 21:34

Really dislike it sorry. Very ugly name

AngeloftheSnorth · 14/04/2020 21:34

It’s beautiful my cousin is called Verity and she is lovely inside and out

missmouse101 · 14/04/2020 21:34

It makes me think of ferrets. Ferret-y.

MikeUniformMike · 14/04/2020 21:33

Ferrety

Spero · 14/04/2020 21:31

My dad wanted to call me Verity but my mum vetoed it. I wish I had been called Verity, I think it is a beautiful name.

triedandtestedteacher · 14/04/2020 21:29

I really like it and was on my list for my dd but nobody else liked it. Funnily enough I mentioned it to get the other day and she said she wished I'd called her that instead lol

OhTheRoses · 14/04/2020 21:11

I think it's lovely, having used it albeit as a middle name Grin

pallisers · 14/04/2020 21:09

love it

Ah I'm so glad some others like it!
My only worry is that it could be shortened to Very (not that I would but by others perhaps), and my surname is Wise...

Lovely. And I know two lovely Verity’s too!

AdaColeman · 14/04/2020 21:06

Lovely name, the Verity I know is lovely too!

ofwarren · 14/04/2020 21:05

Not my taste but a perfectly good, solid name.

Theworldisfullofgs · 14/04/2020 21:05

Added bonus, Verity Lambert was v impressive..

Myohmy123 · 14/04/2020 21:04

Love it, I knew one growing up.
