I think your options are all fantastic! For what it's worth, VD is fairly dated as an abbreviation, and STD is much more common, so I think if you like Verity the most you should go for it. Personally, though, I prefer all your other names to Verity. They all work fantastically with Astrid and Lark -- distinctive and nature-y with a sharpness and elegance to them. I think stylistically, Sybil and Beatrix are probably the closest matches to Astrid and Lark, but I like the contrast of Flora and Twyla quite a bit. Flora brings an open, hard vowel sound to the group and Twyla is such a one-off, with that unusual Tw- sound! Also, Flora and Twyla will probably deal with the fewest misspellings/mishearings. I imagine Sybil would be spelled Sibyl and Beatrix would be called Beatrice quite a bit.
