It seems a grown-up name ...What are the nicknames? How popular is it? Anyone has Verity? How is she called?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I've only ever known one, and she was always called Verity. It's an easy name to say and doesn't really need a nn or diminutive. I suppose some people might use Vee or just V.

At school I'm afraid we used to use Ferret!

Lollypolly · 30/05/2011 13:49

I have a Verity - she's 2 and her nicknames are Vee or Vivvi

Ruprekt · 30/05/2011 13:50

Vivvi is very cute!

Lovely name. My friend gets called V, Vez or Vezaroo.

stardustn · 30/05/2011 14:16

The only Verity I know is usually called Vez

Greenwing · 30/05/2011 15:53

The only Verity I have every met is about 18 now and was always called Verity! I would use Vee as a nn.
Pretty name.

I wanted to call DD Verity. DH said no because at school they had a girl everyone called Very-Titty :(

The Verity at DD's nursery only gets called Verity. She's 4.

I have a 4 year old Verity. We call her V for short.

We have had nothing but compliments on her name since day 1.

itsohsoquiet · 30/05/2011 16:54

I only know one Verity in her early twenties and nickname is Vee which I like.

Vivi or Very.

highlystrung · 31/05/2011 12:03

Vee is the nickname I've heard of. Lovely name.

gillybean2 · 31/05/2011 12:05

I know of one, late twenties I reckon she is.
I love the name

CherryDrops · 31/05/2011 12:32

The only one I've ever known was known as Ferret. Sorry.

whizzyrocket · 01/06/2011 21:25

I've known two- one my aunty, the other a girl who was in my year at school (I'm now 25).

Neither have ever been known as anything but Verity. I think you could use Vee though. Viv or Vivi sounds fussy to me and too much linked to Vivienne.
