Veronica or Victoria?

.

Victoria for me. I really don't like Veronica.

Victoria

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

Victoria, although I do like Ronnie as a nn for Veronica.

Victoria is by far more classic sounding of the two to me - and has a very cool, classy nn in Vita (like Sackville-West), rather than more dated Vicky/Tori.

There's nothing especially wrong with Veronica imo (in fact I actually quite like it, since it reminds me of the heroine in the cult film "Heathers"), but I'm not sure if it will get shortened and I'm not keen on the any of the obvious nn's personally (Ronnie/Nicky?).

Veronica. One of the most inspirational women I know is called Veronica.

both are fine names.
Veronica is more popular in Catholic countries, as the woman who wiped the face of Jesus on the via dolorosa.
it's such a relief to find a query about not one but two perfectly good names on this board.
instead of ipsy-dipsy type stupid names, trying to be clever.
i have always like Veronica, i think it sounds harmonious, but both are equally acceptable, and good solid names that will go far.

Victoria

I like both. I prefer Victoria as a full name, and love Tori as a nickname. But I work with a Veronica who is known as Vron. I like that. I like Ronnie too.

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

Victoria is gorgeous. Veronica makes me think of verrucas

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

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

How about Vanessa?

Victoria.

Or what about Verena?

Victoria
I am slightly biased though

Honestly? Neither.

However I love Verity.

Victoria gives the horrific nicknames Vicky and Tori.

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

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.

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

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

Veronica

Veronica but I prefer Verity

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