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

@FizzyGreenWater personally I prefer the c spelling

OP posts:
FizzyGreenWater · 01/12/2019 10:10

Love Veronica.

More popular overseas spelled with a k not a c, I know a Croatian one who is Vika for short

Harsh sounding and old fashioned. It’s in the same boat as Bernadette, Bridget, Moira.

It’s a no from me.

Love it, and love Ronnie as a nn.

Also love Nora / Norah.

I love Rita and Dinah too.

I love Veronica (love feminine grand old European names with history) but hate Ronnie (hate anything nicknamey/unisex/ending in "ie"). Just my opinion! If you like Ronnie, there are a few other names you could use as longer versions.

Toddlerteaplease · 29/11/2019 22:22

I've always Th ought it's an 'ugly' name. Both Veronica's I know are known as Ronnie.

MissHenty · 29/11/2019 21:36

I like it but it sounds a bit too much like verucca to my ears

@FartnissEverbeans aww did it suit a toddler, I didn't know wether it would suit the younger ages , hence the nn Ronnie

I met a toddler named Veronica recently! She was very, very cute and wearing a rainbow jumper.

I had never thought about the name before then but it suited her perfectly. I complimented her mum on the choice.

TipseyTorvey · 29/11/2019 20:14

I love it but I'm a bit forrin and grew up reading a comic called archie where his main target was a black haired beauty called Veronica and i loved the character so I'm biased.

Guessed that from another thread you started.
Doesn't mean it's not a nice name. It was on the list we had for DD1 but we decided we wanted a name that wouldn't generate a nn.

@MikeUniformMike no I'm not.

OP posts:
MikeUniformMike · 29/11/2019 11:01

It's nice. Roni/Ronnie is cute as a nn.
You're not pregnant though are you.

Thetimetravelerswife · 29/11/2019 08:22

Sorry not a fan. I can’t help saying it with a Russian accent? I don’t know why...
I prefer violet...

@MikeUniformMike yeah that was my original issue with the name, but its definitely growing on me

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 · 28/11/2019 22:38

I like it. Ronnie from EastEnders might put me off. I think it's a saint's name and it's a nice plant.

@MikeUniformMike yeah I get you, if I was to use Veronica she'd be Ronnie anyways x
