Just saw the name Verity on Facebook.

I surprisingly like it.  WDYT?

It's an old Puritan name: http://www.namenerds.com/uucn/listofweek/puritan.html

I LOVE the name Verity. I always have two boy and two girl name sets in my head that I would love to use if I had children right that second and one of those names at the moment is Vivica Margaret Verity. Verity is Latin and means truth.

It's on my list.

I've never liked it. It goes alongside Felicity in my mind as a snooty name.

I LOVE it but don't know that I'd actually use it.

That's funny.... I just saw the name Verity on FB this morning too. FB felt the need to tell me that my friend commented on her post (thanks for that, FB).

I like the name! I've never heard it before but I like it.

I like it :) It's classy, yet quite simple.

I would probably never, ever use it, but it works on some people. I like some Puritan names, but that is not one of them.

I have certainly seen worse. It's not too bad. It's not my style, but I wouldn't say WTF!?! if I came across a girl named Verity.

This comes across to me as a very Nameberry-ish name. I think it would sound best as a middle name (like Julia Verity or something).

I think it's adorable. Very would be a cute nickname. My last name has a V and the middle name we want to use has one as well so I shy away from first names with V.

I have come across a few Verity's. I don't mind it. :)

I actually really like the name Verity! Perhaps because my husband is a Latin nerd. It reminds me of the fabulous new book Code Name Verity, which makes it a Very Good Name. :)

My grandparents have friends they have known for about 40yrs, their last name is Verity. I like it as a first name, too.
