What are your opinions on these names, I prefer one and DH prefers the other. There are other names such as Harriet and Emma which we like but can’t use due to our surname so really these are our final choices.

Verity seems very popular on MN, I think it sounds uber posh. Sorry I’m not fond of Alice either. It’s ok but just a bit meh.

Alice. So lovely.

LouiseSP82 · 17/07/2020 22:57

Alice is beautiful

CiderWithRosy · 17/07/2020 22:53

Alice. Gorgeous name.

Alice. Verity is a bit prissy.

17caterpillars1mouse · 17/07/2020 18:59

Prefer Alice but only because I recently met a mean Verity

LilacSloth · 17/07/2020 18:45

Both lovely names. I prefer Verity and Alice as a middle name sounds great. I know a Verity and pretty sure she's never been called Ferrity! Gets shortened to V.

I love both a lot but the camel puts me off Alice.

Verity's nice enough, one of the virtue names along with Felicity, Faith, Grace and so on.
Think I prefer Alice.

MikeUniformMike · 17/07/2020 16:56

Alice.

Verity sounds too similar to Ferrety

OldLace · 17/07/2020 16:01

Ferrity, sorry!

DryIce · 17/07/2020 16:00

I love Verity, would have named my last baby that if he'd been a girl

OldLace · 17/07/2020 15:58

I used to know a Verity.
Ex 'd' H called her Ferrety.
Prat!
But she will get called Ferrety at School :(

I'd vote for Alice and have Verity as a middle name.

ILoveStickers · 17/07/2020 15:51

Love Verity. Alice is also nice - you can't go wrong!

VerityAl · 17/07/2020 15:44

Verity obvs..

Spied · 17/07/2020 15:11

Love Alice.

123Dancewithme · 17/07/2020 15:09

Alice. Verity is ferrety.

sweetnosugar · 17/07/2020 10:58

Love Verity! Don’t hear it much, sounds so refreshing.

emmathedilemma · 17/07/2020 10:55

I love Alice! I'll warn you though, all the ones I've known have been absolutely barking mad (in a good way)!

userabcname · 17/07/2020 10:14

Verity.

flooredbored · 17/07/2020 10:09

Verity. One of the few virtue names I like.

Keyperfect · 17/07/2020 07:45

Alice. No contest. Verity just doesn't have a nice sound at all to me.

Aria20 · 17/07/2020 07:39
