Verity Linnea or Verity Lyra.

Verity Linnea gets my vote.

I wouldn't put Sybil (prefer Sibyl) with any name beginning with L.

---

Sybil Dagny
Sybil Fern
Verity Fern
Verity Lyra
Verity Laurel

---

Would by my choice.

---

I don't mind Rue at all. Verity Rue is cute.

I like all three of the first names qua names, but I have bad literary associations with Verity (trite Colleen Hoover) and Dagny (politically horrible Ayn Rand). So I would go with Sybil.

---

Sybil Fern is very pretty. I like Sybil Rue, too.

I think Verity goes best with Astrid and Lark. Verity Laurel would continue the nature connection of all sisters and they’d also share an L name each.

Verity Fern would be beautiful! Astrid, Lark and Verity are so sweet for a trio of sisters.

Verity Liesl or Verity Laurel

I would personally not care about the "sorrow" / "regret" meatning of Rue. It has a meaning outside of its etymology (being a herb and most known for being something from nature), its not like you're considering actually naming her Dagny Regret Davis

---

Have you seen one of the possible meanings for Mary? "Sea of Bitterness" is not a charming meaning, and Persephone? "murder" like yikes but both are nice names and have been used

---

My personal order of the names are Verity, Sybil and Dagny. Never heard of Dagny before and while I don't think its my taste, I think its interesting and I feel it'll grow on me a little

---

I vote for:

---

1. Dagny Liesl Davis
2. Dagny Vera Davis

---

I don't think Love and Sybil have the same flow for Dagny

---

1. Sybil Dagny Davis
2. Sybil Verity Davis

---

Again, I'm not convinced Love flows well, I think it might be it's a one-syllable name next to short names. If the names were longer like Persephone Love Davis or Delphina Love Davis, then it'd work better

---

1. Verity Love Davis
2. Verity Liesl Davis

---

Now this time because Verity is a three syllable name, Love flowes very well with it and is my top pick for Verity's middle in terms of flow

---

If I had to choose an overall name, however, considering both first and middle options, I think Verity Liesl Davis is the best name :)

Personal favorite combo is Verity Lyra

Dagny Davis is a bit of a tongue twister and Sybil Verity sounds like "similarity" to me. Sybil is a favorite of mine. The combos I enjoy the most are:
Sybil Fern
Sybil Linnea
Verity Sybil
Verity Fern
Verity Liesl
Verity Laurel

---

Ruey is a rare French surname meaning "little brook" so it could work as a nature name.

---

Sybil Ruey

Verity Davis sounds wonderful! I don't much enjoy fn and ln starting with the same initial, but Verity Dagmar Davis would be good. Otherwise, Verity Laurel, though I'd prefer Verity Laura. Rue isn't much used as a culinary herb - I've never tasted it - and, yes, the sorrow-and-regret meaning is unfortunate. What about Verity Ruth? Sounds good, and the meaning of Ruth is much more encouraging.

I would pick in order of preference:

---

Verity Laurel
Verity Fern
Dagny Fern
Dagny Liesl
Sybil Dagny
Sybil Rue

I vote for Sybil Dagny or Sybil Fern. Would you consider Sibyl? I strongly prefer that spelling (the original one).

I wouldn't pair a m'n starting with L with Sybil.
Verity has a lovely sound.

---

Verity Lyra sounds best in my opinion.

---

None of the mns really flow with Sybil.
Dagny flows best with Fern from your options.

---

Rue is ok as a mn. I mainly associate it with the French word for 'street'. There are other herbs out there with no sorrowful connotations.

---

Other herbs for example:
Dagny Thyme
Dagny Foxglove
Dagny Lavender
Sibyl Marigold
Sybil Parsley
Sibyl Primrose
Verity Sage
Verity Fennel
Verity Marjoram

I think that Sybil Linnea is perfect

I like Dagny and Verity!

Maybe try Ruth instead of Rue if you see worried about the meaning. Ruth is a very nice name and it has a nice meaning (friend) too.
