Seems good to me! I assume the citizens of Verra are referred to as Verrans? Verranesians? :P 

Verran seems more likely.

ArchivedUser

What does it mean?

ArchivedUser

Thats a "Verra" good name!!

ArchivedUser

I'm curious how the name was derived; does the name itself have a story behind it?

ArchivedUser

So, Terra with a V? How imaginative.

ArchivedUser

@Tortigern replacing a T with a V makes a big difference yo.

ArchivedUser

Has this been Verra-fied?

ArchivedUser

Every time I think the name Verra I have to sing Pink Floyd's Vera... what has become of you?

ArchivedUser

Verra was a spelling variant of ferra, Latin meaning irons, colloquially swords.  I like it .

Meanings of Verra :
     .Will be
     .Shall be

And yet the most meaningful part:  it's also a brand of women's sandals!  

ArchivedUser

I like it...

I'll admit that the first image that popped into my head was "Vera", Jayne's very favorite gun from the Firefly series. heh

I like the name it's easy to say and feels natural when said...

ArchivedUser

sweetness

It rolls off the tongue well, has good aesthetics and isn't complicated. Solid name.

I'm fine with the name providing it doesn't have a moon called Duckworth.

ArchivedUser

Love It!!

ArchivedUser

So you would desecrate the world of holy terra with a V. do you have to shame sirs.

on a side note I like it ^^

sounds like a quacking good place 

ArchivedUser

Yeah, it'll be a place for a great night out, but it'll be the bill that stings you

ArchivedUser

just dont ruffle any feathers if you get my meaning

ArchivedUser

We need to stop this before we derail, break or quack this thread....

ArchivedUser

thats the best part of the forum ^^

ArchivedUser

Ok, now I'm very tempted to quack all of the threads, but I think Belewyn might do an Elmer Fudd and go duck hunting on us. . .

This is what the forums were missing

So now the question is why have they picked such a Verra Verra  Terra like name?

It took some Verra Verra deep thought!

Verra is the sister of Gaia (Terra) who had sex with Uranus and bore the Titans.

I see some one like Roman mythology

Or Greek... either works
So @sunfrog, why would you say, no one has heard of her until now, what's kept her secret...?
Stolen at birth by the furies?

Verra is the earth's moon. So you've heard how the moon formed right? Once upon a time the earth was alone until something smacked into it and tore a chunk off which became the moon.  http://bit.ly/1I9vMRw 

Verra and Terra were separated at birth.
