I like it. I'm not sure why it wasn't more popular and didn't retain what popularity it had longer. Sometimes it's impossible to find a rhyme or reason to that. The only problem with
Veronica, to me, is the possible nickname
Ronnie. Unless another nickname is firmly established, I think it's almost unavoidable. And I don't like it at all, the more so since
Ronnie was the name of a long-time employee of my father's, of whom all of my family had a low opinion. The only other nickname I can think of is
Vera, but I'm not sure that even works because it would be pronounced differently than the beginning of
Veronica. Anyhow,
Ronnie is a deal breaker for me, as far as actually using
Veronica goes. I do like the full name though.
