With Rose as middle name to go with 2 syllable surname beginning with 'S'.

I like Bryony

defineme · 16/01/2010 00:34

Very different names imo- Verity nice- the ones I know are pretty posh! I'm afraid Bryony sounds too much ike Brian to me, but maybe I pronounce it wrong?

GoddessInTheKitchen · 16/01/2010 00:47

i like bryony too

MrsKitty · 16/01/2010 01:00

Verity

AitchTwoOhOneOh · 16/01/2010 01:03

i think verity is one of the coolest names going. wanted it for dd2 but dh vetoed for he is a coward.

Verity gets my vote

JamesandHisFlamingSword · 16/01/2010 01:45

Bryony
Verity sounds a bit "spiky" to my ears. And a bit like "ferrety"

Both sound a little poncey sorry...but Bryony is the lesser of two evils. Sorry.

MummyTumble · 16/01/2010 09:40

Verity love it...think it's a totally different name to Bryony too..

yama · 16/01/2010 09:40

I'm liking Verity at the moment. The young me would be quite surprised.

Bryony sounds like someone is being 'like Bryan' as in that's a bit 'Bryan-ie'.

yama · 16/01/2010 09:41

Ignore me.

coppit · 16/01/2010 09:41

I quite like Verity.

I really don't "get" Bryony.

ilovegreenbeans · 16/01/2010 10:56

guitargirl2786 · 16/01/2010 19:53

I'm not keen on Verity, but I know 2 and neither of them are that nice.

I love Briony. Spealt like that too. My Bro's cousin is called Briony!

mummyloveslucy · 16/01/2010 19:58

I love the name Bryony, that's my sisters name.

thisisyesterday · 16/01/2010 20:00

i like them both, although Verity is gfaining in popularity, so i think i would go with Bryony

MaggieNilAonSneachta · 16/01/2010 20:04

I like them both, but Verity.

I don't think Verity is ever going to be in the top 50. it's like violet or hazel. it's appeal is more specific if that makes sense.

PollyTechnique · 16/01/2010 20:04

Verity is lovely.

skidoodle · 16/01/2010 20:05

Verity

mathanxiety · 16/01/2010 20:15

LOL at "ferrety"
Bryony gets my vote; sounds like briar rose a little bit, with Rose as the mn, so actually a bit like a floral name.

onlyjoinedforoffers · 16/01/2010 20:17

i like them both but Verity is lovely
