[name_f]My[/name_f] initial thoughts:
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Margaretha[/name_f] — technically [name_m]German[/name_m], but with Greek roots + the meaning “pearl” is often related to great worth and wisdom
[name_u]Or[/name_u] there’s [name_f]Verity[/name_f] Sophia/Sofia for a purely Greek mn with the direct meaning of “wisdom”.
[name_u]Love[/name_u] @Archer27’s [name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Francesca[/name_f]!
Thanks all for some great suggestions.
I love [name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] it gives me real [name_f]Goddess[/name_f] vibes. [name_u]Truth[/name_u] and [name_u]Wisdom[/name_u] feel like they fit very cohesively together. I did however want something a bit more adventurous and also my partner very surpisingly doesn’t like [name_f]Sophia[/name_f].
I haven’t considered [name_f]Petra[/name_f] and actually I didn’t even know it was Greek until now. But what a fab and dynamic combo.
I love the sound of [name_f]Amara[/name_f] but I don’t like how the origin and meaning is ambiguous.
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Athena[/name_f], [name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Calista[/name_f] are lovely but I don’t think my partner would get on board.
I have considered [name_f]Cora[/name_f] but I think [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is a little harsh sounding ( despite its excellent association with [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] mythology)
[name_u]Love[/name_u] the idea of [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] and "helpful truth’ but a baby’s intials would be VOM with my surname so I can’t use any O names.
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Elena[/name_f] is high on my list but I am concerned about pronounciation as there is literally three different ways of saying the name.
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Martha[/name_f]. What a fab lovely meaning. [name_f]Martha[/name_f] is however the name of my son’s school teacher lol.
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Elysia[/name_f] intrigues me! And I have been looking at [name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Elara[/name_f] but I’m not sure if [name_f]Elara[/name_f] has any real significance or if it feels a bit “made up”?
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] has also caught my attention but does it not just remind you of the wailing pixie singer lol.
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Allegra[/name_f] has a nice sound but the leg in the name is a little disappointing.
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Margaretha[/name_f] is an interesting recommendation but it’s too long for my personal taste.
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] is another interesting choice as my name matches the name meaning of [name_f]Francesca[/name_f]. ( I am a Charlotte) could that be a clever honour, matched name with myself?
Anyone’s I haven’t mentioned is because they are not quite to my personal taste.
Any more for anymore
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] Aspasia (Greek) welcome truth / truth is embraced
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Chara[/name_f] (Greek) truth & happiness
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] Despoina (Greek) lady of truth
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Irida[/name_f] (Greek) rainbow of truth
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] (Greek) truth to blossom / truth blossoms
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] (‘truth’ + ‘light’)
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Alba[/name_f] (‘truth’ + ‘dawn’; together: ‘dawn of truth’?)
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Clara[/name_f] (‘truth’ + ‘clear’, ‘bright’)
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Maya[/name_f] (‘truth’ + ‘truth’, ‘reason’ in Japanese; has many other meanings in different languages)
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Althea[/name_f] (Greek) [name_u]Truth[/name_u] with Healing [name_u]Power[/name_u]
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Chara[/name_f] intrigues me. Is it pronounced with a hard K or a Ch sound or even like how you would say [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]? I am a [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] myself so I like that we would share Ch together.
I also love and have considered [name_f]Thalia[/name_f]. I’ll revisit that as flourishing truth is so lovely. Thanks!
All lovely thanks! I can’t use [name_f]Lucia[/name_f],
Haven’t considered [name_f]Clara[/name_f] with [name_f]Verity[/name_f] and actually it does work. I actually like [name_f]Maya[/name_f] but I prefer the [name_f]Maia[/name_f] spelling. Again what puts me off with [name_f]Maia[/name_f], it’s a bit like [name_f]Amara[/name_f]. The name origin and meaning is ambiguous and I don’t like that fact much.
[name_f]Alba[/name_f] is cute. I have considered [name_u]Alma[/name_u] too.
A stunning combination. I read it as [name_u]Truth[/name_u] that heals too, wow… I’ll add to my list.
[name_m]Just[/name_m] wonder if [name_f]Althea[/name_f] is a little too close to my son’s middle name [name_u]Theo[/name_u]. [name_f]My[/name_f] only concern to using the name. Otherwise ticks all the boxes.
Because it’s Greek, it looks like the Ch- make more of a k- or kh- sound. Actually in the pronunciations I listened to and saw, it’s pronounced like kha-RAH, with almost a slightly rolled r-
A Greek speaker could probably answer much more clearly!
I like the K sound. Almost like the Italian [name_f]Chiara[/name_f]
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Hera[/name_f]
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] Aris/Eris (doesn’t end with an “a” … but [name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Arisa[/name_f] or [name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Arissa[/name_f] does sound pretty!)
