Do you know anyone (kids or adults) named Vera? We're still years away from LO2, but I can't get this name out of my head.

@Rocker2014: Ha. Our dog is named "Molly", and I've often lamented that we can never use that name for a LO now.

@littlejoy: I had the same issue with a car I named Eden! So much regret!

Yes, DS2 has a classmate named Vera. I love the name
-
@littlejoy: Yeah, so it's not pronounced like Vera Wang but Veeeera.
-
@mrsjazz: I like it because it has roots in several cultures/languages. I believe it gained popularity after becoming common in England?? Maybe? Our first LO's name has latin/hispanic roots, but is popular among other languages ... I like continuation of that.

I've known 2. Both are/would be in their 80s.
One is DH grandmother so this name is on our list too! I love it -
I went to school with a Vera but haven't seen her in years. She always asked us to pronounce it "Weera" though even though it had the V because that's how she preferred it!

A girl from my high school named her youngest Vera. We are really only FB friends but since I do actually know her I said yes. I think to a sweet name and I like all the old fashioned names that are "new" again.
