[...] Veronica – 1989′s dark high school comedy Heathers starred Christian Slater as J.D. and Winona Ryder as Veronica Sawyer. Veronica was a good girl – a “girl scout cookie” – who grew up to hang with her high school’s most popular, powerful trio – three girls all named Heather. Despite her vibrant v, Veronica has been falling since the 1970s, but she still sounds surprising. [...]

Ah, I love Veronica’s chunky feel. I didn’t realize Veronique was so big in SA.

The name has much history, it just doesn’t grab me. It is definitely a name that I will never consider – that’s pretty much guaranteed. I much prefer Veronique, which is very popular here in SA. One year in our Idols, there were two girls in the top 12 with the name.It was the first time in interjectional Idols history.Their nicknames were Vee and Nikki

Overall, I just don’t like Veronica. It isn’t a very soft name. It’s not bad and I can understand the attraction, it just isn’t an approachable name, in a way.

Veronica is one of the most sultry, curvaceous sounding names I can think of. I totally love it. I do think of Veronica Sawyer first and foremost (“What’s your damage?”) and Veronica Lodge second. The only downside is its nickname. Ronnie sounds very yuck to me. Very 60 year old with short hair, jazzy-piano-playing, mah-jong loing ol’ lady. Nope. But Veronica as a whole? Nice!

I think Veronica is very pretty and seems to convey a lot of character. She also has tons of great nickname options, a nice meaning and a long history, which is cool.

I like Veronica. The V up front balances out the harsh R and K sounds; and the final A gives it a girly feel. It would be a great way to honor a Vera or Erica in the family tree.

Veronica, while not necessarily a conventional “pretty frilly” name, has a real princessy vibe to me. And yet I also feel like it has a really forced and kind of unattractive sound.

So while it’s awesome that her history is so full and rich, I don’t find it an appealing name in the least.

Wow, that’s some ancient history! Did the Egyptians borrow nike from the Greeks?

I love it when names have a rich history, but I wish this name had never been used in the Archie comics. For me, it instantly conjures up images of Veronica Lodge. I’d be more likely to use Bernice
