I was watching The [name_u]Andy[/name_u] [name_m]Griffith[/name_m] Show (one of my all time faves) the other night and came across the name Verlaine ([name_m]Otis[/name_m] [name_u]Campbell[/name_u]'s sister-in-law)… I never have heard of Verlaine before but there is something I like about it 
I have been a bit taken by “V” girl names lately but wondering what others thought of this name1
It’s appealing. Luxurious and glamorous.
I wouldn’t use it, but I do like it a lot.
My only association with Verlaine is the romantic poet of that name who had an affair with [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] Rimbaud and was imprisoned for sodomy in [name_u]Paris[/name_u].
I feel like there’s a syllable missing, like Everlaine or something. Also makes me think of [name_u]Denver[/name_u] [name_u]Lane[/name_u] and the boy’s name [name_m]Tamerlane[/name_m]. So, unfortunately I don’t personally like it. But there isn’t anything wrong with it.
I like it. Never heard of it before but I really like it. Verlaine has a lovely sound.
