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?

Agree with all the above. It’s classic but not common. Feminine but not ‘girly.’ It’s also a great virtue name (truthfulness) which isn’t a virtue only associated with surrendered women. It’s a unisex admirable virtue.

I know 2. 1 is 45 and the other 9. Both blonde with blue eyes- yet unrelated! Other than the 'Ferrety Verity' link, its a nice, less commonly used name but not too 'out there'.

I'm dyslexic and Verity is one name I really struggle with so usually pronounced vuhrehvity or variety. But that’s just me so I personally hate the name

I absolutely love virtue names, Cadence and Patience are nice too, but Verity is gorgeous!

I love it. Really pretty and a great meaning.
