Verity

What do you think?

Love it! :)

Bob's better

Verily, verily, verily, life is but a dream.

I have a 5 year old verity, so I'm biased but we love it. She was born overseas so there was lots of repeating of names for people who hadn't heard of it but it's not a difficult name. We've met 2 other Veritys so far. Her nickname is Vee, middle name Elizabeth.

Good name. My cousin is called Verity and I've always been.a bit jealous! It's unusual without being weird. Good choice.

I was just about to post this. Verity is top of my list right now. It just sounds so NICE! No daft twee nicknames, its not overly common at the moment, and it just fits! Top marks from me!

I like it.

Lovely!

I'm not keen on virtue names generally, and this one strikes me as rather dull. Sorry.

Beautiful name. I met a teenage Verity the other day.

Depends where you live. It sounds awful when their teenage selves friends don't pronounce the T

I don't like it.

It sounds stuffy and staid like most virtue names do.

Love it :)

I know three ladies called Verity; all in their early 30s. I quite like the name.

I'm also not keen on virtue names. Thrift was my paternal grandmother's middle name and one of my cousins has it too.

Verity is beautiful but as others have said it depends where you live and how it is pronounced (or mispronounced). We wanted to use it for our second DD but we were in the US and no one pronounced the 't'. I think "truth" is also a beautiful meaning.

Absolutely beautiful :)

Hmmm I've known a few Verity's - all have been unbearaby prim and proper little madams, the type who insist on taking over as head girl etc. But when I was little I think I
Used to like the name....

Love it - is my dd's middle name.

Lovely.

Went to school with two Veritys and it has put me off the name as neither were very nice girls.

If I didn't know anyone with the name then I have a feeling I would really like it!

I really, really like Verity. It is in my top 10 girls names.

Like.

I had no idea it was so popular though! Tbh that would put me off somewhat.

Best friend is called Verity, she's 25 and not come across any others. We call her Etty.

Absolutely love it.

Thanks all. It's obviously popular here, but it was only 366th in England and Wales last year so it doesn't seem so popular nationally.

I take the point about virtue names but I think Verity is much less prissy than Prudence, for example. I knew a Verity at middle school but she was a bit of a bitch so perhaps that's offset it in my mind.
