(45 Posts)what do you all think of the name Veronica, she will most likely be called Ronnie most of the time?
with a short middle name like Lynne
I actually really love it but then I am a massive fan of these types of names and can't wait until they all come back. Also like Valerie and Yvonne for example. So bored of all the samey trendy names. Jean would also work as a middle name with Veronica.
im a bit of both really, I like these types of names but then some of the newer trendy names I love too!! also love Norah for a girl !! @PsychosonicCindy
Norah is a great strong name! Other retro names I like :
Pearl
Belinda
Gloria
Carol
Susan!
I just think they are all really sweet!
@PsychosonicCindy if you don't mind you asking, how old are you? I've never met anyone my age who's liked any names like me aha!!
Vera’s okay, but I’m not thrilled about Veronica (It makes me think of Verrucas) and I don’t like Ronnie. I like proper girly and frilly nAmes. Each to their own though.
Love it.
@Awwlookatmybabyspide
I really like Veronica and nn Ronnie is very fitting with the popular styles at the moment.
I also really like Valerie and Vivienne which have a similar vibe and start with a v obviously
@Marcipex Me too!!
@17caterpillars1mouse
It's growing on me even more now!! and surprisingly I'm not a big fan of names beginning with V. Veronica is an exception that I've really grown to love))
I have just turned 44!!!
I like Veronica but not Vera, despite having known 2 nice Veras.
Vera Duckworth was Veronica. So Veronica Lynne might be a bit
I like Lynne and Linda.
You could shorten Veronica to Vron.
@MikeUniformMike
I don't know who that is ahah:///
why might Veronica Lynne be ""?? x
I really like Veronica.
@daisypond me too!!
Vera Lynne
Pretty name.
@MikeUniformMike ohhh right I see I see
Most people wouldn't see it, and if you shortened Veronica to Vera it probably wouldn't be used with the mn.
I like Veronique too.
@MikeUniformMike yeah I get you, if I was to use Veronica she'd be Ronnie anyways x
I like it. Ronnie from EastEnders might put me off. I think it's a saint's name and it's a nice plant.
Mad how people like different things, isn’t it.
It is. The world wouldn’t go round if we all liked the same things, would it.
@MikeUniformMike yeah that was my original issue with the name, but its definitely growing on me
Sorry not a fan. I can’t help saying it with a Russian accent? I don’t know why...
I prefer violet...
