Help!!!! Girls name - Lydia or Verity?

133 replies

Our baby girl is due soon, and we're really stuck on either Verity or Lydia as a name.

Middle name is likely to be Grace or Jane (although I'm not overly keen on Verity Grace - too many virtue names in one name!)

Looking to gauge opinions on which one people like best?

PS, before it comes up, yes I do know there are words that rhyme with these names, and no, I'm not concerned about that :)

I think both names are pretty, but given they are quite unusual, I'm now thinking, is the reason they are unusual because no one likes them?? 😂

Please help!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!

I like both Lydia and Verity, so agree that maybe waiting and seeing is a good idea. I think Lydia Jane is beautiful.

I'm a Verity and love this thread

I'm definitely not remotely posh and never was any kind of prefect. I must admit I was not keen on my own name when I was a kid as it was so "different" (I grew up in the 90s) but it's grown on me as an adult. Friends call me V or Vez or Vezza or just Verity

Welcome to the world little baby Verity

@Snugglemonkey , they waited and saw, and little Verity Kate has been named.

Verity Kate is lovely. Congratulations OP.

My daughter has one of these names and I’m trying not to take the comments personally 😬

Verity is a gorgeous name

Showmethecardis · 01/12/2022 17:06

Oh ffs. Old thread…..hope baby Verity is good!

I love Lydia and have a baby Lydia!

Not so keen on Verity. I love Felicity though, which is another virtue name with a similar vibe.
