I love it. I also love the nn Vera.
It's a ln as well, which might count in its favour. Or not.
Pretty sound, excellent meaning, one of the better virtue names. Restrained and modest, but still a real attention-getter. But, I don't think Vera is a good fit. I knew a Veronica who fought a losing battle against Vera, Ronnie and Nicky, and Vera is a perfectly acceptable stand-alone name - as Miss Jean Brodie remarked, for those who like that kind of thing, that is the kind of thing they like!

I really, really, really love Verity. I didn't used to be a big fan, but after I watching a show with a character called Verity, I just fell in love. The image and personality I get from Verity is beautiful, and I just love how it sounds like it's come straight from the Regency period or Victorian era. There's a certain plucky heroine feel to it that really appeals to me too. Plus the meanings great, and the sound is gorgeous too; energetic and light, but still with some substance to ground it. Vera is a cute nn and I know an awesome Vera who makes me like it more. But Verity is gorgeous enough to not need a nn in my opinion.

It doesn't feel like a name to me, but like something an insurance company might have in its slogan: "Fidelity, Loyalty, Verity, that's Countrywide."
Have to agree here. It's not fair because I understand the appeal, but I'd think of a cold financial services slogan as well.
I like it, but wouldn't use it for real. Vera is a good nn.
