Honest opinions pls! On Veronica / Caroline / Daphne

[nellyonthetelly]

Also any shortenings for Veronica? Thanks!

Only like caroline I'm afraid. Daphne will forever be Daphne broon from the Broons for me I'm afraid!!! veronica I don't like - sorry!!!! Know of some veronica's - shortened to vera, rik and Ronnie

I have a sneaking liking for Veronica, not sure I'd get it past DH tho... Nika/Nica is another shortening I've heard.

in french Veronique is shortened to Vero. very nice.

I love Daphne
really old style glamour
I knew a Veronica I wasn't keen on, so not for me

I love Daphne. If I'd had a third dc who was a girl, she would definitely have been Daphne (my previous mumsnet name was Daphne as well).

I know two Veronica's who are shortened to Ronnie. Think that's rather nice too.

Don't really like any - but can offer Vanessa as a possible V name ?

I like daphne too but not keen on the othrs.

Daphne reminds me of water fleas

only like Caroline, sorry, you said honest.

Caroline or Daphne for me, probably Daphne as its OLC & I like the Greek mythological associations - you could go the whole hog and name her Daphne Laurel

Not a fan of Veronica despite it being MIL's mn because her mother liked Veronica Lake. But I love Vivienne/Vivian.

Vivien is pretty
or Verity

don't like any of them sorry.

Veronica - makes me think of Veruccas - stupid, but there you have it.

Caroline - a bit old fashioned and not the prettiest name.

Daphne - one of those naff old fashioned names in same league as Yvonne and Barbara

I don't like Veronica.

Caroline is ok, I like Caro as a nickname.

Daphne is lovely.

Veronica makes me think of ballet

I like Caroline and can be shortened to Carrie whic I like too.

Caroline & Daphne are lovely.

Caroline is boring and I know loads my age. Lina or Caro or Charlie are the only nns I can think of. I'd rather Charlotte with Lottie for short.

Veronica is quite nice, although perhaps a little harsh, but Vero is glamorous I think. Ronnie is dodgy! Nica or Vica ? Verona???

Daphne is just one name I can't stand. It's ugly and weird and sounds like DAFT.

have a good friend called Veronica. She is called V for short which makes her soiund like Vera Duckworth

I really like Caroline - Carrie for short.

[not my thread but secretly thrilled that so many appear to like Daphne]

I only like Caroline which I might have used if I had a girl.
Veronica is usually shortened to Ronnie.

Dont like any of them.

caroline is ok
veronica is not ok
daphne is daft

you do have to think of a name that will carry through life and I cannot imagine wanting to be 15 and called Daphne.......

and there was an awful character in Eastenders called ronnie if that puts you off at all..........

are you def having a girl? what are the boy choices?

Veronica is lovely, especially if it is shortened to Ronnie. Never thought of Vero, but that is OK.

Caroline is a great name.

Veronica can be shortened to Vero or Roni.

Don't like either Veronica or Daphne.

Caroline is fine but a little dull...
