Baby Names

Veda

I'm watching the movie My Girl and I couldn't help but wonder what all of your thoughts are on the name Veda? I've always loved the name since I first saw this movie back when I was a kid.

Re: Veda

  • I like it, but I don't know how much of that like is just because I love the movie so much. :)

    I absolutely LOVE the name Veda, I also watched My Girl when I was a kid.  I always had it in my mind for a baby.  However, my husband does not like the name so I have had to give it up as an option :(

  • I love this name. I think it means 'knowledge' in Sanskrit, which just adds to its allure for me. I'm having a boy though :/

  • Yes, as PP said, it's Vada in the movie. It's actually on my long list (because of the movie) and I love it. But it will always be a GP name for me, I think.

    When I first read the subject of your post, I didn't know if you were pronouncing the na

  • Veda was our #1 name for a girl, but we had a boy. If we have another and it's a girl, she will likely be Veda. It is also my great aunt's name.
