Verity Ann has a nicer cadence I think, but it depends on your surname.

Chandra · 05/10/2008 20:35

Verity ann, but then... which one of the two rhymes better with the surname?

Verity Ann - flows nicely.

Liffey · 05/10/2008 20:36

Verity. Don't really like Caroline. It's really conservative but it doesn't have great nns like Elizabeht or Margaret. If you want conservative, do Eliza or Maggie or Margot.

Verity is just lovely though. I had that on my list for dc2 who has a willy, so you can have it!

Love Verity Ann; it flows really well. Cute.

Caroline Verity sounds too slow when said, if you get what i mean. I think because they both have 3 syllables.

bythepowerofgreyskull · 05/10/2008 20:38

Verity Ann is lovely but better if you have a 2 syllable surname.

janeite · 05/10/2008 20:38

Verity Ann - don't like Caroline as it sounds dated without being old fashioned enough to be cute again, if that makes sense. Besides, Verity is so pretty; it would be wasted as a middle name.

Verity Ann

Chandra and Nooka, they both go well with the surname. OH likes them both and is leaving it up to me

Love Verity x

I like Felicity too which is simular

Szyslak · 05/10/2008 20:46

I love Caroline. Think it is very classic and classy.

Verity is fine.

Don't get too hung up on first name and flowing middle name, you hardly ever get to say them together, it really doesn't matter.

My advice would be choose which ever name you like best as a first name and then personally, I go for a middle name with significance, more imporant to me than sound or flowing.

Just imo.

Another vote for Verity.

Jackstini · 05/10/2008 20:47

But have Anne with an 'e' - much prettier imo

Liffey · 05/10/2008 20:48

Yes, Queen Anne had a e.

combustiblelemon · 05/10/2008 20:51

Verity Ann. Or Carolina (pronounced Carol- eena) Verity.

dinkymum · 05/10/2008 23:33

definitely Verity Anne

TwoPumpkins · 06/10/2008 13:48

Verity Anne

EffiePerine · 06/10/2008 13:49

Verity Anne would be lovely

I like Caroline as well, but Caroline Verity is a bit of a mouthful

Fimbo · 06/10/2008 13:49

Verity Anne (ast 2Pumpkins!)

Or how about Verity Caroline?

wilkos · 06/10/2008 13:50

my sis is caroline and i love it but i still think verity ann is prettier

EffiePerine · 06/10/2008 13:50

wasn't she a character in teh Chalet School?

(not a nasty one, I assure you)

Moogatron · 06/10/2008 13:57

Carline Verity sounds gorgeous. although I di like Ann too. All the Anns I know are great people! All the Veritys I know are a little brittle and the Carolines, lots of fun!

PonderingThoughts · 06/10/2008 13:59

I give my vote to Verity Ann

Pretty & sophisticated

IMO

Mammina · 06/10/2008 14:47
