It's an okay name, but it feels to me like a hard, cold name, although that particular opinion could come from the fact that I've never met a sympathetic Veronica.
I like it. I might use it EXCEPT that my husband has an aunt named Veronica that goes by Ronnie. His family would definitely use that nickname, which I do NOT like. They are rabid nicknamers and so any names we choose are also chosen for potential nicknames (or lack thereof). That means Veronica is unfortunately out.
A side note, I grew up with a girl named Rhonica. Like Veronica without the Ve-.
lol my husband's family's the same way. You'd think they couldn't come up with anything for Noah, right? Wrooong. Noey and No-no are their favorites -_-
It's ridiculous, isn't it?! I named my daughter Jane Elizabeth and they tried calling her Elle'. That's right, with an APOSTROPHE AT THE END, pronounced "Ellie" which doesn't even make sense. Thankfully they live far away so it didn't stick. Plus I said flat out that we picked her name because we like it, we put a lot of thought into it, and we want people to call her by it. I mean, ELLE'?! If they had tried Liza Jane or Janie or freaking Liz I wouldn't have been as grouchy about it.
I like it. I actually have two students I work with at a college with that name and while they are pretty different in age, they are both sweet people and great students who have had to work hard in life.
