Newly pregnant here and we are just starting to discuss names. Husband likes the name (girl) Vera Quinn (last name one syllable starts with

.

What do you think??

ADORE!!! My husband vetoed Vera and I will never forgive him for it!

Generally I'm not a fan of Quinn for a girl, but for the MN, doesn't really bother me. Vera Quinn sounds nice.

I like Vera! I don't love the sound of Quinn with it, personally. To me it needs a longer, feminine MN.

My DH has been all over Vera lately. He refers to our (yet to be conceived) child as Vera. Like "Someday we'll take Rhett and Vera to Europe...."

Anyway, I think it's a lovely name. My issue with it (I'm still trying to decide if it's a deal breaker) is that I think it would be really annoying to have a name with two equally correct and used pronunciations. I'd hate to have to correct people all the time. Also, I can't decide which pronunciation I like more.

What are the two pronunciations of Vera? The only one I know is vee-rah.

I've never heard anyone say vair-uh.

Dr.Loretta · October 2013

Hmmmmm maybe it's less common than I think it is.

Ahh! Perhaps slightly shamefully admitting to using Vair-uh at all times.

FakeFinn · October 2013

I like Vera a lot! I'm not the biggest fan of Quinn, but as a mn it's fine.

JMU_Bride09 · October 2013

Beautiful!

Ansleyturner · October 2013

Love Vera! Quinn is NMS but ya'll have plenty of time to tweek the name.

toboddy · October 2013

I immediately thought of it as "vair-uh". If you prefer veer uh you could alter thespelling a bit. I love simple but unique names! Not so sure about Quinn though.

I would pronounce it Veer-uh....though I am not sure how I would alter the spelling to imply that. How would you spell it??

NicoleAnne416 · October 2013

Veera?

msmerymac · October 2013

I like the name (both names, really), but with a one syllable last name, I would favor a longer middle name.

Vera Madeleine

Vera Sophia

Vera Caroline

Sam Buttons · October 2013

Vera is lovely! I like Vera Quinn as well.

allardr · October 2013

Love it! I like Quinn boy or girl, but especially in the mn spot for a girl. Vera Quinn is adorable!

Fluffycakes · October 2013

Vera Quinn is cute!

I have no issue with Quinn on a girl at all and only pronounce it veer-uh

mh89 · October 2013

I like it!

Kmommy91 · October 2013

Very nice

lkwelter · October 2013

I really like it!

BrittKav · October 2013

I like Vera. I'm not a big Quinn fan, but I don't hate it.

Mendozamjw · October 2013

Really cute!!

auntamycat · October 2013

I really like this name, it is different without being strange.

AlphabetFish · October 2013

Ooh, I like it! It's got a really on-trend sound without being overused at all. The middle name goes well it it, too. I wholeheartedly approve!

==N== · October 2013

I think it's pretty. I would say vair-ah but wouldn't make the same mistake again if I was told it was veer-ah.

Not so much a fan of Quinn on a girl.
