What are your opinions on these names, I prefer one and DH prefers the other. There are other names such as Harriet and Emma which we like but can’t use due to our surname so really these are our final choices.

I love them both. Excellent taste OP. Verity Alice should lovely to me. Good luck.

Alice hands down - works for all ages, is classic, timeless and not overused

I really don't like Verity

Alice

Aber9 · 16/07/2020 22:12

Alice is just a perfect name!

timeforabrandnewnameagain · 16/07/2020 22:40

Alice is lovely classic but one I would of used ( if DH allowed)

Verify seems like a posh name or trying to be posh, so it depends on if you are or aspire to be.

BaronessBomburst · 16/07/2020 22:42

I like Verity.
DH and DS both opted for Alice.

Mysa74 · 16/07/2020 22:54

I have a Verity, she's 8 and marvellous Grin

PlantPotting · 16/07/2020 23:01

Alice!!! The most perfect name

Breastfeedingworries · 16/07/2020 23:03

I’m currently watching poldark, still prefer Alice.

Topseyt · 16/07/2020 23:12

Alice for me. I'm really not keen on Verity.

SE13Mummy · 16/07/2020 23:33

I went to school with sisters named Verity and Harriet so it's interesting to see them sort of put together in your thread!

Alice and Verity are both fabulous names. I know more teenaged Alices than I do Veritys but neither name feels overused at the moment.
