The more I think about it, the more I like this name for a DD, if this baby (due in spring) happens to be one. It sits nicely alongside DS's name, and goes with their surname. However, the Unity Mitford association is a big reason not to use it, and I am just wondering what people think about that aspect.

I'm Irish and I've never heard of anyone called Unity!

don't really like it, sorry

I know a Unity and you honestly don't think 'Nazi' because she's dds friend and it's just a name.

It's like all these names, they have to be re-adopted by lovely sane people and then they lose their nasty historical connotations (with the possible exception of Adolf )

I dunno, somehow Verity sounds more ... prissy. And I slightly know a Una in RL who is perfectly nice, but I just can't think of the name belonging to anyone but her.

Nope, sorry.

How about Verity or Una, which are both similar?

oh dear

Was hoping that people would think she was far enough back in history not to matter very much. Baby name book says it is a name used mostly in Ireland, which gave me slight hope ...

Anyone else?
