Vera is quite sweet. I have always wondered why it is so underused, given the popularity in postwar Britain of Vera Lynn. I know one Vera And one Susan Vera, both 60-something, and a Russian-born Vera. I think the name fits in well with today's trends and would love to meet a little Vera. Viola is pretty but I never know how to pronounce it, whereas I have only ever heard Vera as veer-uh. Also, Vera is less pretentious IMHO.
