I've liked the name ever since I've heard it a few years ago. Verity Rose would sound nice, as would Verity Madeleine. The others are also nice, and, oddly, Matilda is growing on me.

It's my top choice...

---

for my baby due in January. I really like Verity Sage.

Verity is okay. I like the meaning and I like virtue names so I feel like I should like it more. I prefer Vera - it's much prettier. Middle names for Verity = Verity Isobel, Verity Camille, Verity Cecilia and Verity Lucille.

---

Sofia/Sophia - I prefer Sophia to Sofia. Beautiful name.
Ivy* - Ivy is okay but I only like it as a middle name.
Alice - I like Alice a lot. Classic.
Daisy - Really cute - Daisy is one of my top names.
Matilda - I like Matilda. I also really like Tillie. I'd just use Tillie on it's own rather than as a nickname Matilda but I still think Matilda is a good name.
Saskia* - I like Saskia but it seems a bit harsh for some reason. I think it's better as a character name than a persons name.
Madeleine - One of my favourite names.
Rose* - I like Rose esp as a first name. I also like Rosalind and Rosalie.

Verity Pearl is favorite combo... =)

I prefer Vered

Which is prn VEER-id. It is Hebrew for Rose. Each time I hear Verity, I want it to be Vered.

I love Verity. Verity Alice and Verity Rose would be nice, using names from your list - I like all the names on it. Great taste. :)

I really like Verity. It's one of the few names I'd use on a real child, possibly because it's not a word that gets used all the time and therefore it's not too "wordy."

I've loved Verity since I was 5 years old and had twins in my class with whom I walked home from school each day - Verity & Timothy, real good lookers and (this really impressed me) they lived in a big house and seemed really quite posh!
Verity Charlotte
Verity Eleanor
Verity Grace

I like Verity, but I prefer Vera.
I also like Ivy and Alice. :) Classy and simple, not overdone or too popular. I love short first names with long middle names, or vice versa...like Ivy Madeleine or Alice Genevieve.

Side note: I actually know a Saskia AND a seven year old Atticus! His dad works in a history museum and coordinates all their historical re-enactments and theater.

---

I think Verity sounds better as a middle name. It's pretty, but it doesn't pop.

---

I'll still give you a few MN suggestions, though:

---

Verity Fay
Verity Rose
Verity Leigh
Verity Ruth
Verity Katherine
Verity June
Verity Alexandra
Verity Nicole
Verity Jane
Verity Madeleine
Verity Quinn
Verity Alice
Verity Meadow
Verity Wren
Verity Annabel
Verity Josephine
Verity Julia
Verity Myrna
Verity Beatrice
Verity Eleanor
Verity Helen
Verity Iris
Verity Hannah
Verity Joan

Sofia/Sophia: I love it. Definitely in my top five.
Ivy: Very cute, but not in an annoying way. It works for a little girl, and an old woman.
Alice: Classic, simple, perfect. Can you tell I'm a fan?
Daisy: Here is where you lose me. I think Daisy is a great name for a pet (my brother has a golden retriever named Daisy), but it falls flat on a person. It's really more of a NN.
Matilda: I like it a lot. It reminds me of Heath Ledger's daughter, and she is adorable.
Saskia: Different, but not ridiculous. Very pretty.
Madeleine: I think of the books when I hear this name, which isn't a bad thing. I think it's very sweet.
Rose: Great as a first name, a little tired as a middle name.

I love Verity, it's a great choice! It fits really well with your other choices too!

I like your taste in names! My favorite of your list are Sofia, Ivy, Matilda, and Rose! From you sig, I also love Allegra!

---

Every one of your boy names are amazing! Seriously, Atticus, Henry, Alasdair, Oliver, Jude, Hamish, and William are all on my list too!
