Veronica. Victoria is a bit too common.

I met a Veronica at university who was easily the most charismatic woman I have ever come into contact with. Her nn was Nica (nee-kah).

Victoria

Veronica makes me think of vomiting veronica in 4 weddings

Victoria. Like some pps, Veronica makes me think of verrucas. The only Veronica I know goes by V.

Victoria could be Vicky (which I don't personally like), Tori, Vix, V, Toria or just Victoria

Victoria by a mile

Fnib · 21/03/2021 15:31

Victoria is lovely

Violetlavenders · 21/03/2021 15:30

I prefer Victoria.

ShaneTheThird · 21/03/2021 15:12

Victoria. The only veronica i know is an awful human being.

Happenchance · 21/03/2021 14:42

I don't like either but I like Veronique

Wanel · 21/03/2021 14:13

Veronica sounds like a middle aged women having a rough life in 1974.

Thedogscollar · 21/03/2021 14:01

Not for me too well used. What about Vivienne I think that sounds beautiful. Not Viv tho.

polkadotpixie · 21/03/2021 13:58

Veronica but I prefer Verity

Vomadetroit · 21/03/2021 13:49

Veronica

TheSmallAssassin · 21/03/2021 13:29

Veronica is also in our family, where it gets shortened to V/Vee. Though Nica is also nice.

TheSmallAssassin · 21/03/2021 13:24

I love Veronica, so pretty. And I do like flower names.

Noodlesnoodlesnoodles · 21/03/2021 13:22

I'm not that keen on either really, although j do quite like Ronni(e) as a nn for Veronica - like Ronni Ancona. I also have a bit of a soft spot for Vera at the moment and think it's due a comeback.

TeckanandMultra · 21/03/2021 12:59

Victoria gives the horrific nicknames Vicky and Tori.

Veronica is a harried old barmaid whose life didn't turn out how she'd hoped.

LookAtWhatYouCouldHaveWon · 21/03/2021 11:38

Honestly? Neither.

However I love Verity.

Lotsachocolateplease · 21/03/2021 11:34

Victoria
I am slightly biased though Smile

Ellmau · 21/03/2021 11:21

Victoria.

Or what about Verena?

Jalapinot · 21/03/2021 08:47

How about Vanessa?

Littlepaws18 · 21/03/2021 08:46

Victoria every time! Vik fir short or Vikki... I am bias though! Classic name, not many people called it x

Veronica reminds me of verucca

CoddledAsAMommet · 21/03/2021 08:33

Do you prefer Ronnie or Vicky? Because that's what they'll become.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 21/03/2021 08:32

Victoria is gorgeous. Veronica makes me think of verrucas

Synchrony · 21/03/2021 08:26

I like both. I know a young adult Veronica who is known as Vera and is lovely, so I associate it with her.
