Veronica?

Rachelhaydenberk1 · 03/03/2019 05:04

What do you think of Veronica? And what middle names go well and sound classy and elegant? I was thinking of Veronica Faye or Veronica Jolie. But open to suggestions.

I am also wondering how this pairs with sister name Dahlia Laurenne? I need a name as equally feminine and strong. I dont like other D names (that I know of). I'm also not really hip to a lot of flower or nature names. Veronica is a plant but people dont really make that association at first so it came to mind as a winner with Dahlia. I dont like common flower names like Rose or Lily. I like Violette (spelled like this) but it's very popular so I'm kinda bleh. I like Ivy but dont think it works eith Dahlia. I'm open to suggestions but have already considered most the common flower and nature names on lists. I briefly considered Dianella but I think it sounds to close and I didnt love, love it.

Help :)

Veronica is lovely. Considered trendy and a bit posh at the same time here (Italy)
Vanessa has been destroyed by the Feltz creature.

Veronica? Absolutely not.

Marigold?

Dayonara sounds like a female contraceptive and Sienna is not classy at all at all. Dahlia sounds frumpy and the flowers aren't particularly nice either (aren't they the things earwigs live in?)

The OP's daughter is called Dahlia so not sure feedback on that name is helpful

chatnicknameyousuggested · 03/03/2019 18:54

Veronica is lovely. Vero as a nickname.

Supine · 03/03/2019 18:55

Marigold?!

Pieceofpurplesky · 03/03/2019 19:41

I know a Veronique which goes well with Dahlia.
Dahlia and Manon
Dahlia and Celeste
Dahlia and Audra

Veronica makes me think of Heathers. Never seen the film but my kids drive me crazy with that awful Candy Store although go ds sings Freeze Your brain quite well.

Rachelhaydenberk1 · 03/03/2019 21:57

Hahaha okay so I've narrowed more and edited some! And yes this is a sister for Dahlia Laurenne- which I get amazing feedback on btw. Rarely anyone dislikes Dahlia but to each their own, I'm not offended!

Veronica Faye
Gemma Amabelle
Ophelia Violette
Violetta Madeleine

I like Violetta

AuntMarch · 04/03/2019 20:53

Of the four in the update I definitely prefer Veronica Faye

Sophronia · 04/03/2019 22:34

I like Veronica Faye

Shadow1234 · 04/03/2019 22:41

Sienna is much nicer

One of the worst names I can think of but I guess it is at least a name - someone was asking about calling their kid Tree the other day

Rachelhaydenberk1 · 05/03/2019 00:56

Thanks I'm still between Veronica Faye and Gemma Madeleine.

I think Violette names are out. They are just so so trendy.

I still do love Sienna!

Dahlia is beautiful so no way can you do this ! Grin

Ophelia is nice but didn’t she go mad and kill herself? I know that wouldn’t bother many though.

Amabelle is gorgeous
Violetta is nice
Medeleine is nice
Gemma is ok but very dated I think they’d be like someone who was called Barbara now.... but 30 years old

Rachelhaydenberk1 · 05/03/2019 01:05

I think Veronica sounds so sophisticated! It's not a name that I really picked out before the last couple days though. It's funny to me that people either seem to love or or loathe it.

What about Gemma?

Gemma is lovely

DesperatelySeekingSnoozing · 05/03/2019 07:55

I prefer Vanessa for a V name but Ronnie is a cute Ann

DesperatelySeekingSnoozing · 05/03/2019 07:55

*nickname not Ann

ZaZathecat · 05/03/2019 08:00

I think it's poised to become cool pretty soon and I like it. I like the song too (Elvis Costello)

BrendaUrie · 05/03/2019 08:03

I love it. I think it's gorgeous.

Sod what anyone else thinks. If we all liked the same things it would be very boring (and the register at school would be very confusing!)
