OP here, I like Vera but am concerned about Veer-uh vs Vare-uh. I want to be sure the pronunciation is obvious. Such a pretty name though.


I have never heard anyone pronounce it “veer-uh”


I do. Everyone I know does.

Violet or Lily

I'm partial to Violet b/c one of the sassiest (in a good way) little girls I know is a Violet.

Honor is not a real name. It is something you get.


Yes, it is. It's a virtue name which used to be much more popular- think Verity, Felicity, Faith, Prudence etc.


Correct, love it.

FWIW, I have a relative named Rosie. Her sisters are Aine, Laura and Michelle.

I love Vera, Honor, Gloria, and April/Mae/June if she’s born in those months.

Honor is indeed a name and a very pretty but strong one

- Last name is a short, strong, one-syllable name that pairs well with most names.
- Middle name is going to be a family name that doesn't go well with much, but is what it is.
- Very important to me that her name be phonetic and easy to pronounce. I myself have a constantly mispronounced name and will not do that to my child.
- A strong name is also important to me; nothing too precious.
- We are not religious - I know some of these have a strong religious association. Not sure if that's weird.

Here is my working list of names. I'd like thoughts on these, and/or ideas for other names to consider. Thanks!

Ruth
Ruby
Grace
Gloria
Greta
Etta
Eve
June



All of these names are lovely. I would add: Helen and Audrey
