Thoughts on the name Verity and possible middle names please? Thinking along the lines of Verity Belle or Verity Florence?

I love it - a beautiful friend of my DD's is called Verity.

Love the name Verity! Also really like Verity Rae as suggested by a PP

Chewbecca · 24/09/2022 15:52

I like.

What's wrong with Louise for the middle name?

Undertheoldlindentree · 24/09/2022 16:24

It should be a nice name, I have known two. Both quite loud and organising personality types - definitely not much finesse about them. But not a very big sample, so yours bound to be lovely!

Verity Florence is pretty but of the virtue names, I would choose Felicity.

Ha, I posted recently on here about the name Verity... We were trying to decide between Verity and Lydia. We chose Verity, and happy we did, love the name (my daughter is 3 months now and generally had great reactions to the name choice, the odd raised eyebrow but that's it!) We had some middle name options, happy to share although appreciate not everyone's cup of tea...
Verity Catherine, Verity Kate, Verity Jane, Verity Elizabeth, Verity Pearl, Verity Grace. The last one was a bit too virtuous haha we went for Verity Kate in the end :) best of luck I hope you go with the name I obviously think it's lovely 😍

I like it, but I’m biased - it’s DD2’s middle name. It means “truth” and DH’s heraldic family motto was “None truer”, so it seemed appropriate!

Verity is one of my favourite names. Instead of Belle why not Isobel or Isabelle. Then you have a choice.

midsomermurderess · 08/10/2022 00:22

I find it prissy.

QuitWhileAhead · 08/10/2022 00:33

I love it. It's fab.

PrincessFiorimonde · 08/10/2022 00:35

Lovely, but it's a tough virtue to live up to. Can your DD Verity guarantee to always be truthful?

Must admit, that's what I thought!

Best wishes, OP Flowers

Verity Belle sounds like a boat.

It does, @ChocolateSpreadOnToast 🤣

Verity is a beautiful name, imho, I immediately think of its meaning, “truth.

MumofSpud · 08/10/2022 02:12

Lovely
I know a young teen called Verity

Guiltypleasures001 · 08/10/2022 02:14

Verity Treacle from Kenny Everite, showing my age there

I find it a very hard word to say always have done, I thought it was because I was a dyslexic, but no. We had one in school always called variety cause hardly anyone could say it properly.

Avidreader69 · 08/10/2022 08:07

Verity is lovely, but needs a short middle name.
Verity Anne
Verity Jane
Verity Kate
Verity Jill
Verity Lynne

Thoughts on 2 names options -

Verity Sylvia (with a ‘S’ starting surname)
and
Serena Rose (with a ‘S’ starting surname)

thanks in advance
