Vera?

[RoseWay]

What's the english view on this name? It's a pretty name (to us) and popularish where we're from, although it'd be spelt Vira. Thought Anglicising it though to Vira. Surname '....kov'

I really like Vera. Don't associate it with any age, actually. Good, classic, feminine sounding name imo. Perhaps use Veronica on bc?

Ooof, my name is in your list! I know a couple of cool twentysomething Slovak Vieras, a fortysomething Russian Vera, a very small Vesna...

My only comment would be that "J" in a name in UK is likely to be pronounced like that, not as "Y" so you might want to use a Y or I instead. (My cousin Jirina is called that here, not Yirina, as it should be pronounced.) I wanted to call DD1 Svetlana, but thought it might be shortened to Svetti (as in armpits...) Would you pronounce Slavica with the "c" as "ts" or as "k"?

I guess I would get used to it. COuld you do Veronica with Vera for short?

Any prisoner Cell Block H fans here? whenever I see or hear this name, I always think of Vera 'Vinegar Tits' Bennett!

I wasn't sure at first but its growing on me fast! I can see it getting much more popular with the massive lean towards old lady names at the moment. Yes, I can tentatively say I like it!

Hello Vera

geddit??

Makes me think of Brenda Blethyn as Vera in the detective series...not a good image....

Not that I don't love the series and her portrayal! but not a pretty name...

Don't like it.

If you like old names how about Dora or Edie?

How about Verity?

I know one in her thirties and one who is 3, and it seems to suit all ages.
