Please help! DH loves the name Verity, but I just don't get it. To me it sounds too posh and like ferrety! I really want to like it because he does, but I just don't think I do. My favourite is Georgia, which has been on our agreed shortlist for a while, with Verity thrown into the mix very recently (because dh has only just started looking at books of names!) We only have about a week to go and I really wanted to have a name sorted for when she arrives, but that's looking really unlikely now. It's getting me down a bit actually. I'm worried that if I don't agree to Verity she'll never have a name. Please let me know what you think!

Georgina is lovely. I do like Verity too but if you've got a Ferrety Verity thing going on then it's not going to work for you.

How about Felicity?

MrsLettuce · 17/04/2017 19:41

Oh. You said Georgia not Georgina, sorry. Never so keen on place names myself but it's one of the prettiest of them.

FeedTheSharkAndItWIllBite · 17/04/2017 19:56

I personally also prefer Georgina (sorry...).

I like Verity. But if it were to make me think of the word ferrity I'd probably dislike it as well ;)

What about Amity or Mery?

Or Patience, Prudence, Vera?

Constance? I like Georgia and Georgina. Verity is nice but Ferrety isn't.

EsmesBees · 17/04/2017 19:59

I love both Verity and Georgia. I would say don't compromise, wait and see what she looks like, a name may occur to you which you both like. How about: Cecily, Cecelia, Rosalind, Harriet, Juliette?

I liked Georgia but my OH wasn't a fan; I'm not a fan of Verity.

If we have similar tastes I also liked:

Nancy
Nina
Isobel
Megan

I like Verity, everyone knows a little Georgia here, it's a nice and popular name.
I quite like Tavia or Talisa but I've been watching the five strings a lot lately lol

Georgina is lovely.

Sophronia · 17/04/2017 21:37
