Verity - not so keen
Eden - lovely
Emily - lovely
Evie - like if short for something

Eden Jessica would be a lovely name.

Oh god barron, really, oh dear.

Disechanted, brothers little one is Ava, hubby hates Amelie says trying to hard to be clever . Love Edie, would probably use as a nn for Eden.
Need a middle name for Eden to help sell it to hubby, I like how Eden Rose flows but fancy something not as popular. Any ideas?

I love Verity - it was on my list for DD.

My DB's baby is due in two weeks to be called Verity or Ophelia. I like both but think Verity edges it.

I don't like it. It's harsh sounding and pretentious.

I love it! so there.

I do, I know a girl called Verity and she is lovely, kind and pretty too.

Verity is very twee.

I think it sounds primmer than prim.

Eden on the other hand, I love, and it could be shortened to Edie. I also love Annie from your list.

Eden Grace
Eden Audrey
Eden Elizabeth
Eden Aynsley
Eden Avery
Eden Charlotte
Eden Rachel
Eden Sophia
Eden Blythe
Eden Cecelia/ Cecily
Eden Isla
Eden Isabella/Isobel

Eden makes me think the parents must be either hippy dippy (or religious fundamentalist).
Fine if you are a hippy dippy world peace and love optimist, just beware of the obvious association.

Verity was on our shortlist but is apparently becoming quite popular.

Eden I think is a bit too 'trying to be different' and does make me think of hippies etc.

I have a good friend (girl) called Eden, and it suits her so well. No one ever makes "garden of Eden" jokes, though I did ask if her parents are religious when we first met (They're Italian Catholics).

On another note, you may want to save Eden, because in my opinion, it's one of the only unisex names that works equally well on a boy, one of which I also know. And yes, it really suits him too.

Like it v much. think it is a classy name.

Eden is a bit...um...trying to think of a word that isn't the c word. But anyway - NO.

Verity is awful.

Crikey, real differences of opinions here.
Why are girls names so hard?

DS2 was going to be Verity. So I love it.

Eden is not one that I would use.

I think Verity's great - couldn't use it for either dd, because I'd already wasted it on a cat!

I like it
