Alice or Verity

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.

Alice probably shades it but both good would wait until baby arrives and then see which suits

VioletGrace · 16/07/2020 23:42

I love the name Verity!

7dayslater · 16/07/2020 23:43

Both nice names. Alice is particularly lovely.

Longdistance · 16/07/2020 23:46

Alice. I have an Alice, it suits her.

Onestepup · 16/07/2020 23:52

Alice, definitely.

Verity reminds me of creepy Kenny Everett's character Verity Treacle.

ThreeImaginaryBoys · 16/07/2020 23:55

Both lovely. If it were my choice I'd go with Verity.
They sound great together, either way round, if you want one as a middle name.

I like Alice a lot and when I read the thread title I immediately preferred Alice. Having said that, I suppose Verity has a bit more punch with the hard consonants.

DramaAlpaca · 17/07/2020 00:16

Alice for me.

BiBabbles · 17/07/2020 00:18

Verity, certainly, for me.

IdblowJonSnow · 17/07/2020 00:20

Love both. Very classic and tasteful. They also sound good together, with Alice Verity having the edge rather than vice versa.

Peachbubble · 17/07/2020 06:53

Alice definitely, not keen on Verity.

FallingStar · 17/07/2020 07:29

I love Alice Smile

Alice

Alice

Keyperfect · 17/07/2020 07:45

Alice. No contest. Verity just doesn't have a nice sound at all to me.

flooredbored · 17/07/2020 10:09

Verity. One of the few virtue names I like.

userabcname · 17/07/2020 10:14

Verity.

emmathedilemma · 17/07/2020 10:55

I love Alice! I'll warn you though, all the ones I've known have been absolutely barking mad (in a good way)!

sweetnosugar · 17/07/2020 10:58

Love Verity! Don’t hear it much, sounds so refreshing.

123Dancewithme · 17/07/2020 15:09

Alice. Verity is ferrety.

Spied · 17/07/2020 15:11

Love Alice.

VerityAl · 17/07/2020 15:44

Verity obvs..

ILoveStickers · 17/07/2020 15:51

Love Verity. Alice is also nice - you can't go wrong!

OldLace · 17/07/2020 15:58

I used to know a Verity.
Ex 'd' H called her Ferrety.
Prat!
But she will get called Ferrety at School :(

I'd vote for Alice and have Verity as a middle name.

DryIce · 17/07/2020 16:00

I love Verity, would have named my last baby that if he'd been a girl
