I like it.

I used to think it was a bit "posh" but then I met and became good friends with a Verity who is a lovely person -down to earth, would help anyone out, a genuine true friend....so, to me, it conjures up that sort of person.

It's a really pretty name.

Like it. I know three of them -- one aged 5, one around 40, one pensioner, and it suits them all, so I'd say it's a classic.

Lovely name

Not very sexy.

Verity makes me think of a lumbering adolescent in a Catholic school gymslip.

I like it. In fact I liek all those Victorian virtue names. Know a 4 year Verity. It's a quite feminine - unfortunately she's not!

janeite · 24/08/2008 18:56

Love it.

PersephoneSnape · 24/08/2008 18:58

it's a smashing name. it has a bit of dr who geekery attached though verity Lambert was the original producer of dr who and when the doctor was human, he said his mums name was 'verity'.

it's lovely. i really like it.

It never seems popular but I have always liked it.
