Named my DD2 this only 9 weeks ago - and we love it....as so do other people. Unless of course they're just being kind!!

I really like it, have it on the list for DC2, but suspect it wouldn't get past DH...

It's an old fashioned name I think, I associate it with Quakers, but that could be just me?

one of my dds has it as a middle name. I like it.

Was on my list until dc2 turned out to be a boy. Lovely.

Gets a vote from my dd(8) as a "cool name"

Oh no is it posh? I don't really want a posh name. I thought it was a bit unusual but not too much iyswim.

I quite like it. It sounds posh, strong, ladidah to me though.

Alishanty · 04/08/2008 18:01

I really like it but dp doesn't, he thinks its too 'posh'.

cyteen · 04/08/2008 17:55

Love it love it love it. I have a very good friend called Verity so not sure I could ever use it for any hypothetical DD, but still...

I think it's strong, classy and stands out without being try-hard.

Same as poshtottie. I would have loved it for a girl, but DP hated it.
The only Verity I have known was lovely, which probably helps.

ladymariner · 04/08/2008 17:39

sorry, sounds like ferrety, which actually better suits the only verity i know.

MaryMungo · 04/08/2008 17:38

Verity was top of our list before we found out we were having a boy. We really liked Honor too, but some celebrity just had one, so it might get more popular and we were looking for something not too used

A bit austere.

meemar · 04/08/2008 17:27

I like it

poshtottie · 04/08/2008 17:26

I really love it. It was on my list though dh wasn't keen. Anyway had a boy.
