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

Truthfully? (sorry)

It's a very skinny name.

I like it.

alfiemama · 04/06/2010 19:19

not quite sure what you mean about a skinny name seashore, might be me being dim though
Ooh thought you'd all hate it.

Not keen, sorry. Prefer Alethea which has a similar meaning.

alfiemama · 04/06/2010 19:34

Thanks lidofabiro, hubby wouldnt go for that one, he is quite very rigid.

No, I don't like it.

I knew a Verity she had 2 sisters, Chastity and Charity.

Its not even a joke.

Love, Love, Love Eden

She may get 'garden of Eden' jokes as she gets older though.

alfiemama · 04/06/2010 19:52

weird Ive seen that name somewhere else today. I agree lovely names in their own right but together maybe a bit much, but hey ho

Eden is very nice

alfiemama · 04/06/2010 20:09

Now I didn't think anyone would like Eden. Would you say nicer than Verity.

This is my list so far.

Verity
Eden
Emily (lovely name but v v popular)
Evie (hubby likes this, I think too popular now, and when you mention it to people they don't seem to like)
Jessica
Elisabeth
Annie

I love verity but can't have it as surname begins with V

Disenchanted3 · 04/06/2010 20:12

Ava?
Amelie?
Edie?

CantSupinate · 04/06/2010 20:12

Verity sounds barren and harsh to me.
