[Opinions] Vera
Does anyone else like the name Vera? I personally find it to be a beautiful name. Someone mentioned that it sounded old ladyish. I disagree. Anyways, does Vera Jade Lorelei seem too clashy?

Nope. Sounds very old-ladyish to me. Also reminds me of Aloe Vera.

I love Russian names. Vera just sounds very sophisticated and I don't think it's old ladyish at all. I'm a sucker for V names. =)

I think I have to agree with Elle's message. I don't think Jade sounds good with the name Vera, but Vera Lorelei sounds pretty.

If I'm objective and just listen to the sound, I like it. But mostly it just makes me think of a middle-aged Hispanic woman.You'd think Vera Wang would make the name seem more appealing, evoking images of beautiful expensive things.

NMS - i knew a woman named Vera."There is none Holy like The Lord, there is none besides Thee; there is no Rock like our God." (1 Samuel 2:2 RSV)

I like it too! At first I thought it was old ladyish until I met a five year old girl with the name and her sister Sylvie (3). I also love that it's russian and means "Faith" and "True" and the Albanian meaning is "Summer".I don't think Vera Jade Lorelei works, sorry. Maybe just Vera Lorelei or sometning different like Vera Anneliese or Vera Charlotte, Vera Madelaine.

I think Vera is a beauiful name but I don't like the middle names.

I have a strong picture of Vera, but I'm older than most of you here--there used to be a show called "Alice" and there was a waitress named Vera. She was sweet but ditzy and had a somewhat whiny, annoying voice. So it's not very elegant and pretty to me at all.
:-/ I want to like it, though, so maybe I will someday. Maybe I'll get a new picture of it, eventually. :b I don't know if it "fits" very well with Jade & Lorelei, which are very modern-trendy to me. ~Heather~
