hey :)

after reading A LOT OF threads and the comments in my last thread
Finally I've found two of my favourite girl names Blush

VERITY or EMMELINE??

I love the meaning of Verity - truth
and this name looks relatively stronger than many girl names ((???? idk...

At the same time...
I love Emmeline Pankhurst! because of her contribution to feminism!
and the name sounds and looks elegant.
(by the way, which pronunciation do you prefer - Emm-uh-leen OR Emm-uh-line)

THX!!

I was at uni with a girl called Verity. She got called 'Variety' behind her back.

Definitely Emmeline (leen)
I went to school with a Verity and she got called Ferrety

Emmeline

Emmeline. With the leen pronunciation. Verity is rodenty. Couldn't figure out why, then realised it sounds like ferrety...

Reader1984 · 13/06/2020 18:34

Emmeline definitely (Emm-uh-leen).

Verity!

I like Emmeline but they pronunciation issues would put me off

gettingusedtothelimelight · 13/06/2020 15:57

Girl I went to school with was called Verity and was always called ferrety Verity so I'd never use it.

TheFoz · 13/06/2020 15:29

I have a family member called Emmaleen.

I don’t like Verity at all, sorry!

RoiseCap · 13/06/2020 15:25

Emmeline!

I have always liked the name Verity.

userabcname · 13/06/2020 14:23

Emmeline

Pemba · 13/06/2020 14:15

Emmeline. Verity is ok, but a bit harsh sounding.

IagoWithABlackberry · 13/06/2020 12:33

Verity.

Cyberworrier · 13/06/2020 12:29

Verity

Emmeline (leen)

It's a great name and I really like Lena as a potential nn.

Verity is nice but is a little bit annoying somehow.

SnowdropFox · 13/06/2020 12:20

Another vote for Verity

missmouse101 · 13/06/2020 11:09

Emmeline. Verity sounds like ferret-y.
