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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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
