WDYTO Vera?
I'm not usually big on girls names starting with V, and this seems maybe a little old lady-ish. But idk...I'm kind of liking it. I think it seems short and to the point, and the V hardens it up a bit...WDYT?

I like it, but now I have "When I'm 64" in my head. It's not a bad thing but just don't name her brothers Chuck and Dave. ;) I do like it though because a Vera could be very cute or very strong, or both.

I kind of like it but as someone said earlier, it sounds old-lady-ish.

Sometimes I really like it and think it's quite pretty and versatile. Other times all I can think of is Vera Duckworth from Coronation St lol.

I admit...Most people I know with this name aren't exactly young.
But I don't see a problem with that!
Its a lovely name, maybe it should have a come back =)

It really seems old lady-ish to me, most likely because it was the name of my great grandmother, but I am very fond of it. I really find it a lovely name.

It always reminds me of Vera Wang who I find quiet refined. I love the understated elegance of her clothes. And the name has the same clean, understated elegance and sophistication.

I really like Vera. It's warm & friendly. :) Very pleasant to look at and to say aloud. Makes me smile. I've known two, so it's not exactly "old lady" to me. More timeless and lovely.

Love itI love the name Vera, but I'm biased. It was my grandmother's name. Her real name was Veronica, but she went by Vera. In Russian it is pronounced "VYEHR-uh," which is even more gorgeous sounding to me than the zippy English pronunciation. Vera packs a punch in either language. My favorite combination is Vera Inez.

Don't really like it.+ It is very much old lady-ish here in Denmark, since it is the name of my Dad's around the 80 years old aunt.

I love Vera, but only pronounced VEER-uh.Of course, old fashioned/old lady/old men names are among my favorite kinds of names. I think the majority of them work wonderfully on males and females of all ages, including babies and children.

Thanks! I quite enjoy a lot of names that are considered old-fashioned as well.

Maybe as a nn for Guinevere.
It is a bit old lady-ish as REM said.
