We are dead set on Harriet but I just heard this name and thought 'oooh'. What do you think?

I love it but I'm ver(it)y biased ;) It's unusual without being wacky I think.
Every Verity I've known has been beautiful inside and out, hence why we chose it.

She does get a veri(e)ty of nicknames including Vera, Vespa, VT, Vivi, Vee, Ferret and Visa. Never had Vez though!

Verity is so lovely. The Verity i know is nicknamed 'Vee'... I've never heard anyone call her Vez or Vezza.

Outwardly po faced 1950's vicar's daughter who gets up to all sorts of racy hijinx with the local tearaways.

Don't like either, sorry. What about Hermione.

Tarlia - I was going to say careful of you live in the South! I live in a place where T's are never pronounced. I know a teenage Verity and it makes me shudder every time she says her own name let alone her friends!

Okay so (most) seem to think it's nice! I think I'm still set on Harriet (Hattie as nn). What about Harriet Verity? Is that too much of a mouthful?

I like Harriet, but love Verity! It was a name I considered, but DC2 turned out to be a DS!

I don't like it - can't pinpoint why.

But if your DH hates it, then surely it's a no go?

It was on my list :)

have you considered Verena? I like that.

Love it, really really do.
