I would pronounce it VER-AH but I am from New Zealand so I wouldn't take my advice, its probably different to your area.
I think its a great name and I would consider it myself but maybe as a nickname for Veronica. Some people say it's too old lady but I think it's ready for a comeback. I think it fits well with popular names like Ava, Eva, Aria. I also really like that the Albanian meaning is summer.

I think it should have a strong middle name because it is quite floaty and whimsical. The middle names I would personally pair it with are:

---

Vera Mae
Vera Penelope
Vera Genevieve
Vera Geneva
Vera Quinn
Vera Meredith
Vera Josephine
Vera Clementine
Vera Eloise
Vera Juliette
Vera Madeline
Vera Temperance

Congrats on your pregnancy.

I say VEER-a. The only Vera I knew was over the age of 50 so this name feels old lady-ish to me.

I've only heard it pronounced as VEER-ah, as in Vera Bradley or Vera Wang, but I think it's rather ugly and jarring said that way. If I hadn't heard it before and only saw it on paper, I'd think it was pronounced VER-ah (rhyming with Sarah). I like that better.

I say Veer-ah. I like Vay-ra though. My Granny had a friend called Vera who was a lovely woman so I have a warm fuzzy feeling about the name.

Since I'm Dutch, at first sight I pronounce it VÉ-rah. But in English, I pronounce it VEER-ah.

I've only ever heard Veera in real life, though some on BTN say they say it Vay-ra, and I guess if somebody was Russian or something that's the way they would say it.

I don't like Vera but if I was going to use it I'd want to use Vera Lynn, like the old-time singer who's sort of had a revival lately.

I pronounce it VEER-AH.
A few middle names could be:

---

Vera Caroline
Vera Elizabeth
Vera Diane
Vera Rose
