Verity has been on my mind a lot lately and I just added it to my list so I was wondering:
WDYT of Verity?
Will it age well? Is it too Puritan?
Combo suggestions?

Thanks :)

I like Verity. I would dare say it's one of my favorite names. I think it will age well because there's so few Veritys out there to compare it too. I don't think it's too Puritan as that label could just as easily be applied to other virtue names.

Verity _____
Annabel
Amelia
Celeste
Dominique
Francesca
Lilian
Maeve
Constance - probably too much, eh? ;)
Lucille
Melinda
Lucinda
Lucrece
Magdalen

Verity Esme is lovely! (and as an added bonus it honours my Auntie Esme who is a beloved family friend)
Verity Lenore is great (I prefer Lenore to Lenora) and I love Verity Ruth.

Thank you so much!

I love Verity

One of my favorite virtue names (Mercy is #1). My fave Verity combo is Verity Arabella.

Oooh Verity Arabella is beautiful!

Do you mind if I steal it? :p

*LOL* knock yerself out /m

I halfway stole it myself - a while back Bex challenged everyone to make combos from her fave names, and I created it from her list. Neither name was on my list at the time, and now both are! So, Bex's names, my idea, and I think she likes it too, so that makes at least 3 of us!

I like Verity.
Does it sound too Puritan? I assume you mean, it's a virtue name, and therefore associated with Puritanism. I hope this doesn't sound hopelessly snobbish, but I believe that a significant number of people, meeting a Verity, would not know the meaning of the name. So considering it "too Puritan" would never be an issue. Truthfully. hehe

probably true - somewhat sad, but true :-/

I met a Verity one time and remember thinking her name was really cool. She turned out to be a not very nice girl though, and that kind of soured my opinion of the name.

It's awfully Puritan, but still usable. 1000 times more interesting than Hope or Grace anyway.

Verity Honor

Verity Joy

Verity Claire has a gorgeous ring!

Lol - I loved that combo about 5 years ago. It is nice!

- Aine (poetic_freedom)

12/31/2006, 6:51 PM

I love Verity Susannah and Verity Claire but both names are already in combos of mine. Verity Joy is so pretty but I am worried its a bit virtuous. Thanks!
