Verity?

[PistachioTruffle]

DH isn't keen, but I love this name for a girl. I'm just wondering what MN think, and wether it is worth keeping it as a possibility!

Love it! And there's a very awesome statue in north devon named Verity.

However, ones with the name have said they didn't like having to explain/spell it for people. But you'd have that with all sorts of names.

Love it. One of my top choices.

verity is lovely. I adore it.

Lovely name.

Only ever met one and she was lovely, it's a great name. Do it!

I really like it but if your DH doesn't then surely it's a no-go?

I know two really lovely people called Verity. The younger is named after the older of the two and they are both great, so a yes fom me. However if your DH isn't keen I think you need to go back to the drawing board,

I quite like it but the more I look at it, the more it sounds kind of sneaky, like ferretty? Might just be me though

Gorgeous. Wanted it for dd2 but DH wouldn't have it :( She has it as a middle name though.

Really love it. I have only known ace people called Verity.

I think it's a great name.

Love it - one of my faves.

Thankyou all for your input! DH isn't keen on it in a non-committal, 'it's not my favourite name ever' type of way, rather than hating it completely. I'm hoping if I keep it on the potential list it might grow on him! For what it's worth, I'm not in love with any of his clear favourites either, which means we'll probably end up with a compromise name, which makes me rather sad. Or dc could turn out to be a boy, problem solved!

Not my taste.

I prefer Vera.

What types of names does your dh like?

Like it alot.

We have a compromise name. It's ok and it's now 'her' but it's not Verity :( I'll never quite forgive him for that.

Love it. Know one aged 6mo.

A very prim and plain name.

It's pretty. Not exactly my taste - possibly a bit 'good girl' for me - but would admire on someone else's baby!

bugsybill, DH's current favourites are Georgia (not to my taste at all, possibly because of a very annoying and spoilt one I knew as a child) and Leah, which is nice enough but I don't love it.

Lol at the prim and proper and good girl connotations. I know two Veritys, they were mental fun friends when we were teenagers - doubt their parents enjoyed their behaviour much though! Love the name though (mum of boys here so didn't get to use it), pretty without being sickly, unusual without being 'out there'.

Nice name. I know of two so wonder if it's becoming more popular?
