Just wondering (not for me, I can't stand the name) - just a general view of it.

There were 2 Veronicas lived near us when I was little, they'd both be approaching 70 now.

My cousin was married for a while to one (known as Vera), and I guess she'd be in her 60s too.

Veronica is a flower isn't it?

I worked with a Veronica once and she was very young at heart. Oddly enough she was the mum of a girl I went to school with!! She was probably only about 20 years older t than me.

The short one from the two ronnies!

I had an Auntie Veronica. It's quite an old fashioned name IMO.

Isn't it Madonna's confirmation name? That'd be enough to put me off.

Don't like it. I envisage a foot-stamping bad-tempered girl ...

It makes me think of:
a nun
saint with Jesus' face on her handkerchief
Elvis Costello

I'd immediately shorten it to Ronnie, which just makes me think of Corbett!

lovely - do you like Elvis Costello?
