Honest thoughts, opinions and connotations - Verity

[Appalaco]

My DH and I are expecting our first and very likely only child, we want her name to be absolutely perfect.
Top of our list right now is Verity but I want to know what your thoughts are on the name, what would you imagine someone named Verity to be like, what connotations does the name have for you?
Do you like the name Verity?

Lovely name. Unusual but in a good way.

I don’t like it personally. I went to school with a Verity and remember not liking it then either. Felicity is so much nicer.

Don't like it at all.

Sounds pretty to my ear. I can imagine a small and dainty girl.

Love it. It was on our list but a friend named her daughter Verity just before DD1 was born.

I like it as a name but would only ever be able to think of the massively popular book by that name.

I know 2 Veritys. One is early 20s, the other about 7. The older one is quite quiet and serious, the younger one very outgoing.
It's a lovely name. Possibly harder to nickname.

No. It sounds like ferret-y.

The one I knew at uni was posh, tall, with a lovely but reserved character. Nice name.

I like it. My first best friend was called Verity. That was when we were 3 at nursery in 1978! I've never forgotten the name. I like virtue names, especially Prudence, Constance and Faith.

Prudence is lovely.

Love it and love the meaning

Don't know any IRL which makes it an even more attractive option to me

I have perhaps a bit of an irrational hatred for this name. It makes me think of ferrets, or a really posh horsey girl.

I don’t think it sounds the prettiest, I think it’s the -ity part. But appreciate it’s a classic name that isn’t overdone.

Verity reminds me of ferrits too, though it's not a bad name.
I prefer Liberty, Amity, Clemency, Felicity, Victoria, Eliza, Alice, Charlotte and Cressida.

There is a 7 yo Verity in my son's class at school. She's kind and very cute and it's a prefect name for her. I totally approve!

Adore Verity. First saw the name in the Agatha Christie book Nemesis ( brilliant book although the Verity character has a tragic end). So Verity makes me think of an elegant, upper class/ upper middle class young woman - probably slim and fair. I love the meaning too - one of the more subtle virtue names.

The only Verity I know is the huge Damien Hirst statue in Ilfracombe Harbour. She's a love it or hate it statue - I love it.

Love it. Was on my list. Very pretty and not over used

Posh Tory girl.

I think it's lovely!

I wanted it 12 years ago, H vetoed it. Still love it and regret not using it.

Lovely

I think it’s a lovely name. Verity Rushworth is an actress and seems like a lovely person. I always think of her when I hear it.

I know two separate families whose surname is Verity, didn't name any of their daughters Verity though.
I think Verity Verity has quite a nice flow to it.
