I'm sorry, I really dislike this name. For some reason it reminds me of verruca (sp?) - it's just not aesthetically pleasing from my point of view.

I think it's a beautiful name - it was my Nan's name

Veronica slept with my boyfriend when I was 17. Ok, we'd split up...but still....!

Love it. I know a Polish Weronika and she's truly lovely.

Is it coming back already? I always thought it was a very 1960s name

It's a beautiful, classic name and Ronnie is a great girls name if you wanted to update it a wee bit.

Ronnie is very cool.

I think Ronnie is very cute too.

No, Ronnie is definately not nice for a girl imo!

Love it, and love Ronnie as a nn. But our surname is Mitchell so...

It makes me think of verrucas too.

Also Ronnie is an awful nn and it's just not a very nice sounding name imo.

Can you tell I don't like it! Vanessa is nicer.

not to my taste - have you considered Vivienne?

LadyOfTheFlowers · 26/03/2010 11:49

I have considered almost every name under th sun I thin and still can't choose any.

This is so hard.

oh I completely understand, by the time we were trying to name DD3 I couldn't find anything I loved enough - yet weeks after I could have told you 4/5 names I adore

do you have a list that you like even if you wouldn't use them and maybe we could make some suggestions?

I really like it, and had both this and Roxanne on my list, but dh liked neither, and then Ronnie and Roxy appeared in Eastenders .

CSWS I am delighted you dropped it as a girl in the village has just used Roxy because of EE and I'm find it VERY hard not to pop on the judgy pants

Hmm, I too tend to think of Verrucas a bit. But knew a 'Vron' when I was a child and she was very nice. Or you could get all continental and go for Veronique. (or is that a bit porn star? no maybe, stick to Veronica)

The only Veronica I know is a very beautiful Czech girl. Unfortunately she's also an evil bitch.

Came on to say I loved it but can't use it, only to find I've already posted that!

Sorry but I'm with allie on this one, I find it incrediably ugly sorry!! I always imagine whether I myself would like to be named the name, and I would really hate this one. Vera is awful too.. But what about Vivienne, now that I love! :)
