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.

Marcipex · 28/11/2019 22:19

Love it.

b3x3y · 28/11/2019 22:20

@Awwlookatmybabyspider aww i prefer like the more gender neutral not girly names ahah, there's a couple of girly names I do like though, mad how people like different things isn't it!!x

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

b3x3y · 28/11/2019 22:22

@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!!! Shock

MikeUniformMike · 28/11/2019 22:23

I like Veronica but not Vera, despite having known 2 nice Veras.
Vera Duckworth was Veronica. So Veronica Lynne might be a bit Hmm
I like Lynne and Linda.
You could shorten Veronica to Vron.

b3x3y · 28/11/2019 22:25

@MikeUniformMike
I don't know who that is ahah:///
why might Veronica Lynne be "Hmm"?? x

I really like Veronica.

b3x3y · 28/11/2019 22:25

Vera Lynne

sue51 · 28/11/2019 22:29

Pretty name.

b3x3y · 28/11/2019 22:29

@MikeUniformMike ohhh right I see I see

OP posts:
MikeUniformMike · 28/11/2019 22:33

Most people wouldn't see it, and if you shortened Veronica to Vera it probably wouldn't be used with the mn.

Marcipex · 28/11/2019 22:34

I like Veronique too.

b3x3y · 28/11/2019 22:36

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

OP posts:
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.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 28/11/2019 22:43

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.

b3x3y · 28/11/2019 22:52

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

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 · 29/11/2019 11:01

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