Verity is lovely.

Norvella sounds like a winter vomiting virus.

Norvella must be an ointment for athlete's foot. Lovella is surely a carpet manufacturer. Verity sounds a very prissy name to my ears.
But there are lots of names that use the elegant V and LL sounds you clearly like.
Viola, Victoria, Vivienne, Lauren, Lilian, Lorli, Ella, Bella, Eleanor...

Don't like any. Verity is the best of an horrendous bunch
Norvella is actually making my think of Nutella.
Lovella yes I agree with pp. it sounds like a make of condoms.
None of my business people can call their kids what they please but have people get an aversion to not giving their kids unusual names now.
If you're wanting to be unique use something like. Ann,Catherine, Helen, Michelle or Lisa. Names on that line, I guarantee you won't find many if any of those in a class

Norvella sounds like a wart cream, Lovella more like a foundation.
Sorry...

Only one of them is a name, so pick that if it has to be one of them.

Verity. The other 2 sound like medication.

I read that as Novella at first, the other name sounds like a pudding. Verity is ok

I've never come across Norvella or Lovella. How about Loveday instead?

I don't really like the name Verity either, but it's streets ahead of the other two.

Verity.

Agree with everyone else about the other two. The other two also look like they should sound very similar. Are you keen on names ending in "ella" or "vella"?

RattleAndRoll · 27/06/2015 12:26

I agree with the others.

Verity's the only nice one. The others definitely sound like products of some sort.

Or a sex toy shop.

I don't like Verity at all but it is the obvious choice next to the other two names.

Norvella sounds like Novella with a typo.

Lovella sounds like a wedding dress shop.

Both sound 100% made up.

Verity is a clear winner there.

If you like Lovella (which I've never come across) have you considered Lavinia?
