Vera

Vera Leonie is very cute! The combo is great :) Hmmm I don't care too much for Vera because of the image I get from it. I would love to see it used so that image would fade because the name is nice. I always imagine an overweight, very loud old Russian lady with a beard who has lots of cats and yells at everyone. But I like it on someone elses child and I think if I met a little Vera I could quickly grow to like it. I like its meaning and together with Leonie is has a certain charm to it that I like even though I don't care for Leonie too much. A Vera Leonie is a cute little girl, together with Leonie Vera's old image disappears a bit. Overall it is a lovely combo!
That's a nice combo. I like Vera alright, except that I'm never sure which way to pronounce it. I tend to say VEER-a but I like VEHR-a too.
I love the name Vera. I often forget how much I like it. I don't like Leonie much though.
I love it! Go for it!
I think it's a sweet name, has a cute Southern thing going on, but I struggle with pronunciation. I went my whole life assuming this name was pronounced VER-a, like very but an -a. Come to find out it's usually VEER-a. Does not really compute.
I'm generally a fan of girls' names that start with a V, but Vera is one that I've never been able to warm up to. It sounds both cold and dowdy to me. I love Verity and Verena and would prefer to see those rather than Vera.
A friend of mine, when she was expecting her first child, said she was going to name it Vera if it were a girl. It wasn't, and when she did have a girl several years later, she opted for Jade instead.
