As the title suggests, which of these names do you prefer? Or others that have a similar feel to them. Older brother called e that makes a difference!
Verity, Grace or Freya?

Thank you!

I think Grace is the most classic feeling of the three, and so matches the style of Henry best.

Verity wouldn't be very big clash style-wise though, and it is my favorite name of your options (I love it's meaning).

Freya, although very pretty, feels a bit too trendy with Henry for me.

Other suggestions that fit well with Henry are Rose (very similar feel to Grace?), Anna, Eleanor, Cecily/Cecilia and the obvious classics of Elizabeth and Catherine.

Grace beautiful
Verity is ok
Freya is awful

Verity is much sisters name! I love it. I was so jealous of her growing up as she had such a different name.

TobblyBobbly · 26/10/2020 06:47

Grace is my favourite

Flymetothestars · 26/10/2020 06:48

Verity but I like all 3

Verity - not keen, can't get past Ferrety. Severity.
Grace - nice, but overused as a middle name
Freya - nice until it got overused and Frey isn' t great.

I like all three, but in order of preference it's Grace, Verity then Freya.

joystir59 · 26/10/2020 09:05

They are lovely. I would possibly pick Verity as the least common currently

Thank you all so much for taking the time to respond, really interesting to hear what different people think...and nice that none are generally considered too horrendous! Thanks for the extra ideas too! X

I really like Grace but because it is so popular, I think I'd go with Freya (which is lovely too)

iloveyoubutilovememore · 26/10/2020 09:48

Freya for sure!

paap1975 · 26/10/2020 09:53

Freya Grace

Freya and grace are beautiful
Verity just isn't to my taste unfortunately

ZombieOtter · 26/10/2020 19:36

Grace

ZombieOtter · 26/10/2020 19:36

Grace

Spied · 26/10/2020 19:37

Grace is very elegant. A true classic.

Escourtie · 26/10/2020 19:47

Freya

snowone · 26/10/2020 20:29

Grace followed by Verity 💜

Midnightswim · 26/10/2020 20:42

Verity is an awful name. Nothing appealing about it.

Grace and Freya are loving

VenusClapTrap · 27/10/2020 11:29

Freya is the nicest. How about Fleur?

Ladderofyears · 27/10/2020 12:06

Freya would be my favourite.
Verity would be next.
I wouldn't pick Grace as it's so so popular...

MimiDaisy11 · 27/10/2020 12:08

I prefer Verity from those three although I am put off by Freya being in the top 10 names. Though I do like it too. Grace is nice too and although it's used as a middle name most people aren't called by their middle names so she'd likely be the only one in her class. It's nice too.

MimiDaisy11 · 27/10/2020 12:09

Oh wait I just checked and didn't realise that Grace is really popular as a first name so I take that back.
