What are your thoughts on Veronica? I like that it starts with a less common letter and that everyone knows how to pronounce it yet it's not a common name. (At least, I've never met a Veronica.) And I think the connection with the Archie comics is outdated enough that it wouldn't be a problem.

I love the name. I have a friend whose daughter is named Veronica, and I've never known of anyone who shortened it to anything (especially not Roni - bleah) in the 20+ years that I've known the girl. Her family calls her Veronica, she was always known at school as Veronica, she always introduced herself as Veronica. You CAN nip that stupid nickname thing in the bud, in my experience with a daughter named Jessica who definitely did NOT want to be called Jessi. :)

:-) No matter what name I chose, there will be no nicknames. I love the elegance of full names, particularly long ones.

Thanks for your input.
