So as a slight spin off from [name_f]Vera[/name_f] I was looking into [name_f]Veira[/name_f]… like Vee-era (era like era of time) V-air-uh… how would you spell that? & what do you honestly think. . To me it still has the feel of [name_f]Vera[/name_f] but slightly drug out & maybe a bit more feminine or elegant… what do you think?
I think it is pretty. I would probably pronounce [name_f]Vera[/name_f] and [name_f]Veira[/name_f] the same, so I would go with [name_f]Viera[/name_f] or Vierra.
[name_f]Vera[/name_f] looks like a first name. [name_f]Veira[/name_f] and [name_f]Viera[/name_f] look more like surnames to me. I think [name_f]Vera[/name_f] is best.
I love the name [name_f]Vera[/name_f]. [I guess because my obsession with the name [name_f]Veda[/name_f]]
I really like [name_f]Vera[/name_f], but if I was looking for the pronunciation you are after, [name_f]Viera[/name_f] or Vierra would be my choice. [name_m]Just[/name_m] like hixtwin4 said.
It actually sounds masculine to me as it reminds me of the retired football player [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_f]Vieira[/name_f] who was always referred to by his surname, as footballers are. I don’t think it’s a bad name though, and I like it more than [name_f]Vera[/name_f], which is still very ‘old woman’ to me. Also, I’ve just finished rewatching series 1-3 of Downton [name_u]Abbey[/name_u] and [name_f]Vera[/name_f] was the name of a particularly awful character, which doesn’t really help my opinion of it much.
This, but you’d never get the pronunciation you’re looking for.
[name_f]Vera[/name_f] can be pronounced like “[name_f]Veera[/name_f]” or “Vaira”; I taught a girl with the latter pronunciation, and have heard the former in movies and TV. I don’t think you need to spell it differently. As soon as she introduces herself, it will be clear to everyone which way she pronounced it.
