Aw. Vera was my grandmother's name, so I'm biased. For her, it was short for Veronica.

I've always loved Vera. In Russian (and probably other Greco-Slavic languages), it means faith. It is pronounced "vyehr-a" which I always found so beautiful. But the English "veer-a" is nice too. In English, it has a WWII, Rosie the Riveter feeling that I always find appealing.
