Vera Lynn: A useable girls name?

[VintageGirl89]

With the very sad passing of Dame Vera Lynn, do you foresee a rise in the use of the name Vera Lynn.
Have to say it's really got me thinking today..... Vera Lynn does actually sound pretty nice together!
What do you all think?

Nope

Like Vera, but both together bit fan clubby, no?

I think Vera is already on the rise. I don’t think Lynn will become popular anytime soon though.

Yes could work as a name. Not keen though.

No. She was amazing but Vera is just a truly ugly name. That's why it hasn't been revived, while many of its name contemporaries have.

Verity is a thousand times nicer.

Makes a nice name, but I wonder if being named after someone else overshadows your own identity?

I can’t hear the name Vera without thinking “Has anybody got any Veras? Lovely....”

No, why would it suddenly become popular? Surely it'd only be used by super fans?

I can't see it becoming the new Lily Mae

Not together, that’s a bit obvious.

I remember a post ages ago of someone wanting to call a child Penny-Lane because of the Beatles....makes me go urgh, and baby Vera Lynn would as well.

Vera Lynn = Gin in Cockney rhyming slang

Vera is nice. I think it’s already on the rise. But not alongside Lynn.

Vera seems very old fashioned to me. Similar to Edna, Mabel, etc so maybe it will become popular.

I went to school with two girls called Lynne in the 60s. I quite like it.

Vera Lynn as a name? Bit similar to calling a girl Sydney because she was born in 2000. And all the little Elizabeths from the 50s and maybe again in the 2020s.

We have Vera as a middle name but thats because it is a family name. Wouldn't use as a first name.

Isn’t it skins? Got any Vera’s?

@SiaPR gin, chin, skin (roll up paper) 😁

Used to be a shortened form of Veronica.Never been used for ages. But I remember when my grandma's name was very old lady, now it is everywhere.
