Hi there,

Our baby girl is due tomorrow and we are still undecided on a name for her. We have narrowed it down to Emilia, Verity or Ava. Which one would you name your daughter, popularity aside?

I like them all. I suppose I wold go with Verity because I don't hear it ofter and would use Ava as a middle name.

Lots of positives for Verity but is it the fact that it's not as popular as the others that makes people like it more or is there genuine affection for the name?

I do genuinely like the name, not just that it's unusual. Actually, when I think about it, I know two Veritys, but have never known an Emilia or an Ava personally! The two Veritys I know are feisty, loyal and intelligent. As for nicknames, they are both known to everyone as 'Verity'. Not everything has to be shortened...

Emilia. To me it's the prettiest and the most elegant.

Emilia, then Ava.

Verity is a bit clunky and reminds me of Verity Treacle from the Kenny Everett Show (presumably the younger generation won't make this association though!)

Verity.
Love it!
