Hi all,

my OH and I would really value your opinions on our short list of girls names: we don't have long left to decide!!

I'd love your gut reactions to:
Bonnie (too girly for when they are older?)
Meredith
Verity

Thank you all very much!!

Bonnie -no. Makes me think of that awful child-star Bonnie Langford or a dog.

Meredith -another no. To me its one of those surnames used as a first name names like Mackenzie.

Verity -love it.

BTW I do like Verity too, but not Bonnie

I love Meredith and hope to use that name if we have a girl, with Merry as nn. All hypothetical, not even pg yet (testing on Sunday if no AF though!)

Verity - its lovely.

Bonnie - a name for a golden retriever dog. Also, a bit lacking in class imo.

Meredith - I like and have considered using myself. I think my only objection is the presence of Edith in the name which I don't like. But Merry for short would be lovely for a little girl (and hopefully apt).

Verity - adore. If I had a daughter now, it would be the name I would use.

I don't like Bonnie. It's really only good for a hairy doggie. I'm not keen on Verity - too snotty, if you know what I mean!!
Meredith is my choice out of the three.

I love the name Bonnie.

Meredith and Verity not keen on.
