Help[Opinions] Mera or Vera
A few years ago I fell in love with the name mera (except spelled with an extra e, Meera), but I ended up getting over the name. Suddenly, about 2 months ago, I stummbled upon the name Vera (pronounced Veer a) it was on a billboard. Anyway then I realized (quite awhile after the realization of the beauty of the name Vera) how similar Mera and Vera are, so I wanted to know what you all think; which sounds better? Do you like either of them? Also, what mn would sound good with either?
Side point: wdyt of the name Arden for a girl? I'm not sure.

I prefer Vera to Mera, but if I had to go with Mera, I'd use the Meera or -- even better -- Mira spellings. Vera is beautiful.
Arden is not a name I would choose, but it's rather pretty. I like the sound of it. I'm surprised at myself. It's not really trendy, but it's outside my comfort zone. I think it's a name I like, but for now on someone else's kid. :)
Potential Vera MNs:
Vera Rosemary
Vera Pearl
Vera Adeline
Vera Caroline
Vera Meredith
Vera Louise
Vera Theresa
Vera Evelyn (love!)
Any you like?
Magnanimous Despair alone could show me so divine a thing, where feeble hope could ne'er have flown, but vainly flapped its tinsel wing.

I prefer Vera, but I pronounce it VER-a.
But Mera / Meera are nice, too. I prefer the spellings Meera and Mira, though.
I suppose Arden is fair game for girls, but it doesn't seem particularly feminine to me, I'm afraid. Actually, it doesn't seem particularly masculine, either-- just a surname in my eyes, really.

A few years ago I had a thing for all things Indian. On a tv show I saw the name Meera for the daughter of an Indian couple, so for that reason I loved the name spelled that way. It is kind of odd.

Well, I love Vera. Vera Isabelle is one of my favorite combos. But I am also really liking Mira a lot lately, which is just a different spelling of Meera. I cant decide which is my favorite either.
I want to like Arden, love the meaning of it, but it just doesnt sound that nice. It's kind of awkward to say.

I don't really like either of them, but if I had to choose between them then I like Vera much better.
Arden has been growing on me lately. I don't quite like it, but I don't not like it. It's okay.

Vera was my grandmother's name, so I'm biased. But I love the sound of it. It packs alot of energy into a four letter name. It deserves a come-back as a name.
I like Mira, but the Mera / Meera spelling strikes me as odd, sorry.
Arden is OK as a mn. It reminds me of the forest of Arden in "As You Like It." Literary references in names are always a plus. :-)
