What do yall think of Vera?

I am becoming more and more fond of it.

I have a bad name association with it. Vera was the lady my great-grandmother played Yatzee with for years when I was little. Vera and my great-grandmother were very competitive and catty with each other.

It reminds me of two things...

1. The musical Mame. I don't mind that Vera is boisterous, but she's kind of a lush, and harsh, lol.

2. Vera, Norm's unseen wife on Cheers.


Either way - not the best images brought to mind, but I like it as a sound/name itself.

It reminds me of the lady who ran the bookstore in high school. A lot of people didn't like here and thought she was bitchy. You didn't want to be on her bad side. Her office was decorated with Wizard of Oz memorbilia.

I've always been quite fond of the name. My friends make fun of me for liking it though because it reminds them of the movie Rat Race, one of their quotable movies.

It reminds me of Jayne's favourite gun (which he named Vera) on Firefly but I actually quite like it.

I love it! Ever hear of Ukrainian drag queen/singer Verka Serduchka? Verka is the diminuitive form of Vera, so yes, I'm quite partial to it.

I actually love it and it was on my list (and quickly vetoed by, like, everyone in my family)

i like it, but my husband vetoed it. there's a "vera" association in a pink floyd song, and there's also a historical figure vera lynn, who wikipedia tells me is the same person in the musical Dame that a commenter above mentioned, i believe:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vera_Lynn
