Sounds delicate, very feminine.

It's my favorite V name at the moment. It reminds of Vera, Rowena, Gardenia (other names I like).

Hmm, I'm not sure I like it as a name or not. The flower is what I immediately thought of but it doesn't strike me as name like as other flower names.

I usually like long girl's names that begin with a V, but this one is leaving me cold. I think it's the first syllable "Verb". It's just making me think of the word.

I love Verbena! It's so pretty.

I love Verbena. I’ve thought it was beautiful since I first saw the original Parent Trap as a kid. One of the girls has a housekeeper named Verbena, and the way Hayley Mills said it made it sound so lovely.

Seeing as the only possible nickname is “Verbie”, I don’t care for it.

Though I would see the appeal for others, I'm not a fan of that middle B (it's a hard letter to get me to like). However, I find the French variant Verveine to be utterly gorgeous.

I really like it. Verbena has a more magical quality compared to other herb names. It has a slight nature witch feel but not too much.

I actually think this is okay for middle name, or first name with a super classic middle name, like Mary or Jane. It seems that personally I accept these "strange" names more than others because I am not a native English speaker, and the locals often treat English names as nearly a nickname or a name among people in similar ages only.

As with other -ena names, I love it as Ver-ben-uh, but not as Ver-been-uh, which I think is how it’s supposed to be pronounced (I’m not sure).

I knew one person by this name. It’s cute but makes me think of herb tea.

I think it's lovely. I would use it as a middle name.

The flower is lovely.
It would make a good name for a (male?) cartoon character, but it doesn't feel namey enough for an actual person's name.

its ok
