VERA
Gender: F
Origin: Russian; Latin
Meaning: "faith; truth"
The height of exotic fashion in 1910, but now difficult to picture embroidered on a baby blanket, though some hip parents are beginning to quietly revive it along with other old-fashioned simple names such as Ada and Iris. Verity is truer to today's fashions. Similar names include Vere, Verla, and the Slavic Verra.
