Help[Opinions] Re: Veronica
in reply to a message by Lily8
1. I used to hate it when I was a little kid, but I've learned to love it. Plus, it's kind of awesome when no other kid in the school has your name.
2. I loathe Roni or any variation (Ronnie). I've always gone by Nikki and there are many variations on that, and I also like Vero. But no Roni or Ronnie. No, no, no.
3. I am a Veronica. I prefer my spelling, I'm the only Veronica of my generation that I know. I've met other Veronicas, but not very often. I'm 22, my middle name is Mignon (Veronica Mignon), and I don't go by Roni. I go by Nikki mostly, Pooka sometimes, and Dorkface, but that's just me.
4. Winona Ryder's character Veronica in Heathers wasn't stuck up. I think pinning a personality on a name is really silly. Not all Veronicas are like me, not all Veronicas are like Veronica from such-and-such comic book . . . I think of Elvis Costello's song Veronica. In fact, when I introduce myself to other people, I generally tell them, "Veronica, like the Elvis Costello song."
5. Vera's okay. I prefer Veronica, but Vera isn't bad at all. I think it's quite pretty and a lot of those older names are coming back.
6. Funny story, my mom almost named me Maya. Anyhoo, I think Adelaida is the one that stands out. Estella, Veronica, and Maya definitely sound like sisters, but Adelaida is the odd one out. Estella, Lola, Veronica, and Maya go together better.
