Brother or Sister for Verity

34 replies

Valinor · 21/03/2010 16:30

We are on team yellow and can't seem to agree on a name for Verity's little brother or sister.

DH likes Imogen, Phoebe, Tamsin, Hugo, Elliot and altho I don't mind any of these they aren't 'the one'.

I want to find a name which like Verity is relatively unusual but everyone has heard of and a name where spelling isn't an issue. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Our sn is 1 syllable and begins with an M so 1 syllable fn's ten to be out as they sound too blunt together.

Thanks

Given that there were 708,711 live births in England & Wales in 2008, that makes 0.017% of children named Verity that year. Which is really pretty unusual! The chances of finding another Verity in the same school as you are minuscule.

It's really not very unusual
Are you the op by any chance?

You aren't very good at statistics .

Ok, so maybe I should've used the word 'uncommon' instead of 'unusual'. I can't understand why some posters are so pedantic.

Thank you to everyone else who offered suggestions - they are great.
