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.
