My DH and I are expecting our first and very likely only child, we want her name to be absolutely perfect.
Top of our list right now is Verity but I want to know what your thoughts are on the name, what would you imagine someone named Verity to be like, what connotations does the name have for you?
Do you like the name Verity?

Absolutely love it!
It's slightly unusual without being weird, it's classic and classy and rather pretty.
I had it on my list, along with Liberty as I really like the 'virtue' names.

I imagine Verity to be blonde thin type. I seen character named Verity on film once so that's my association. I also only think child when I think of Verity. I prefer Felicity.

I love it but we were put off by it's rising popularity :(

I love Verity.
I met one nearly 30 years ago, never known of another.
She was quite arty, and a lovely warm person, colourful dresser and had lots of friends.
