What do you think of Verity as a girl's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.

like it, good meaning, suits baby, child and adult, easy to spell, cant really be shortened-if you like that

MamaLazarou · 29/12/2009 12:41

It's lovely. Unusual but not wacky. Easy to spell and pronounce.

BornToFolk · 29/12/2009 12:52

I really like it. I knew a really nice adult Verity once so it has good associations.
As others have said, it's unusual without being odd.

tispity · 29/12/2009 13:18

don't like it - quite churchy, prissy, upper working class

SlartyBartFast · 29/12/2009 13:44

ditto what tispity said.
but it might grow on me

piscesmoon · 29/12/2009 13:59

I disagree with tispity-I don't think it is any of those 3 things. I like it.

MyCatIsABiggerBastardThanYours · 29/12/2009 14:01

very pretty I think

kando · 29/12/2009 14:03

Very pretty. I know a lovely lady called Verity (shortened to "Vee") who's very trendy and "with it".

jasper · 29/12/2009 14:14

beautiful

Divatheshopaholic · 29/12/2009 14:25

SkyeOneDay · 29/12/2009 14:32

HowTheGibbonStoleChristmas · 29/12/2009 14:33

nice name

I know one who unfortunately is built like a brick shit house

canella · 29/12/2009 16:31

i only know one person called Verity and i cant stand her so it will never be a winner with me!

But even before that it brought to mind very posh spoiled little girls with ponies!

sorry!

GinGirl · 29/12/2009 16:32

Love it, goes well with my DD's names and it would go on the list for future children!

Merle · 29/12/2009 16:42

What's wrong with appearing 'upper working class'?

LadyBiscuit · 29/12/2009 16:45

I love my friend Verity so I'd say yes

OrmIrian · 29/12/2009 16:46

Lovely name.

audley · 29/12/2009 18:21

Absolutely stunning imo. My auntie's name; we called her Auntie Very Naughty!

CantSleepWontSleep · 29/12/2009 22:33

Fantastic name. One of our top 2 contenders if dc3 is a girl.
