How do you pronounce Vera?

[lucymegan]

Love the this name, it was my great grandmothers name but ive heard it pronounced a couple of different ways.

V-ear-a
V-air-a

How do you pronounce it?

I like it. I think it's due a comeback.

Veer-ah

@SpeckofStardust your wrong actually.

I think that video might just be accent OP? So if that woman said "dear" it would sound like "d-air" to us. If that makes sense.

@MindyStClaire maybe, I'm just pointing out that to the other poster who was persistent that nobody in American pronounced it v-air-a.

Yeah but that woman would say she's pronouncing it Vee-ra.

It’s a no from me however you pronounce it.

Yeah but the other poster said no one in American pronounces it so I was just pointing out that this lady does.

Veera that sounds like bee- ra

it’s pronounced to rhyme with nearer and clearer - or at least that’s how everyone I’ve ever met has pronounced my mums name for the entirety of her life.

If you’re not sure about using the shortened version, why not use Veronica or Veronique?

Vear-ra

So... ear

I've only ever heard it pronounced Vair-a.

So Vera like Very but with an a.

Veera = Veera

Vera = Vera

My nana was Vera (ear) and this is mn for my daughter, when she gets here later this year 😊

v ear a (apple)

There's only one way to pronounce it, think of Vera Duckworth.

With an ear.

Vee-ruh

I think the videos ‘accent’ is confusing. It’s just how the name sounds because of the accent not because of how they say it. If that makes sense!!

We all know Vera Duckworth! And I don’t watch Cornination Street! Only one way to say it!!

Ear

Ear

Makes me think of the wonderful Brenda blethyn detective. Pronounced Vee-ra like the letter V. She’s awesome but other people might not think so.

Veera although I met a Lithuanian one who way Vay-rahhh

Vear-ra

The v-air-a pronunciation might be how Americans say it.

I'm American and I say v-ear-a, as do most Americans. If you think you hear Americans saying it differently, it's likely because they say all similar sounds with a slightly different accent. For example, in some American accents there is not a lot of differentiation between "ear" and "air."
