Verity?

Does anyone else like, or even think the name Verity is ok?!
I have always liked it but when I've mentioned it to a few others I've been met by looks of disgust 😂

The Verity I know was known as Vez at school. Never Very. Maybe Vez doesn’t go with your surname either though?

I quite like it but not with your surame.

I like it, but DH doesn't - thinks of Ferrety. I probably wouldn't use it anyway as I worry with virtue names that the child may be the complete opposite. I went to school with the most ungraceful Grace you could imagine.

I would avoid it, and any name beginning with V with the surname Wise.

Most of my name list is Welsh, but some names in the non-Welsh section with Verity are:

Rosa
Evangeline
Iseult
Romilly
Cassia
Aveline

I like a previous poster's suggestion of Arrietty. What about Aristy? I worked with a lovely Aristy so feel I can't use it myself.

Forgot to add Lyra to that list!

I love Verity and would have called our DD that but DH vetoed it sadly
