I think of the Veronica I went all the way through school with - a pretty, average-sized, grey-eyed very dark-haired porcelain-complexioned very intelligent girl.
I think of it as a Roman Catholic name - in the UK anyway.

Honestly, the part from Billy Madison where the teacher (Veronica Vaughn) throws Adam Sandler out of class and when she leaves he says in a high sing songy voice: "Veronica Vaughn... So hot, want to touch the hiney!" And then he makes this weird howling sound. Apparently I used to say that line a lot when I was little? =/

I do like Veronica though.

The Archie cartoon strip....

On the one hand: a snotty, annoying girl, on the other hand: Veronica Mars.

I am Dutch and I think of the Dutch tv channel Veronica. This is not a good association to me because it's a bit of a tacky and sexistic channel. But of course, if you're not Dutch this shouldn't discourage you.

"She used to have a carefree mind of her own and a devilish look in her eye. These days, I'm afraid she's not even sure if her name is Veronica."

---

Not to get too off topic, but do you know he was born: Declan Patrick MacManus?

---

I hear Declan more and more. I sort of like it now, but won't like it if it becomes trendy - sort of like Aidan and Ava, I liked them until they became overused.

It's my mum's name so I think of her!

---

I guess if that wasn't the case, I'd think of someone quiet but pretty

---

S xx

Heathers!

---

I'm totally dating myself... LOL

---

The first thing I always think of and picture with this name is Winona Ryder's character in the movie.

A snotty, spoiled brat. In my head it always sounds funny.

Am I the only one here who reads archie comics?

---

Come on, guys! Veronica Lodge!

---

...Come on, guys?

Veronica is tall and beautiful with dark hair and green eyes and is very smart and kind of a smart mouth.

It reminds me of Veruca Salt from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, just coz of the similarity in sounds. I strongly suspect that it's this character that put me off most v- names. Veronica is therefore a spoilt, bratty girl.
Secondarily, it reminds me of the show Veronica's Closet which was on quite a while ago now. I really liked the name at the time, because of the show, and it would always be my name in whatever game my friends and I were playing. My nickname was always Ronnie, which I think was the same as the TV character.

The Veronicas

---

A pop band here in Aus. I dislike them.

---

I imagine, dark brown hair, dark eyes, bit on the slutty side.. I very much dislike the name Veronica. Sorry!

Someone striking, passionate and hard-headed (and perhaps a bit shrewish). Dark hair and sharp features. (Alternatively, curly red hair.)

---

It also makes me think of the Elvis Costello song.

Dark-haired, wise or at least "knowing", fashionable, pretty, sassy...not a pushover. Kind of like a cool older sister.

Veronica Mars!

---

Spunky, snarky teenage private eye! See also: blonde, short, cynical, witty, self-absorbed, social pariah, a good person at the end of the day.

---

*loved that show waaaaay too much*

Veronica

---

Brings to mind a strong-willed, intelligent, passionate woman - someone who is very sure of what she wants. She's beautiful...but it's beauty that springs from the inside, not the outside.

A rich, spoiled, self-centered, pretty brunette, because of Veronica in the Archie comic books. I really like the name, but that's the first thing that came to mind.

---

It's funny that the first thing that came to mind for myself and the previous two posters is a brunette, since Veronica Lake was a blonde.

I think of a very stunning brunette woman who is voluptuous and confident. She's extroverted and other women are envious of her. She's a bit of a show-off, but a lot of fun to be around.

---

I think it's a great name!

A tall skinny long haired brunette (wavy)
