[Opinions] Veronica
in reply to a message by Babochka
Well for me middle names are always honoring names unless the first name is honoring.
If I wasn't using an honoring middle name I like:
Veronica Elise
Veronica Florence
Veronica Adeline
Veronica Hazel
Veronica Elaine
Veronica Justine
Veronica Iris
Veronica Helen
Veronica Elspeth
Veronica Beatrice
etc.....
I love how retro and Medieval feeling Veronica is, but at the same time Veronica doesn't feel like it should only be an old lady name. It also doesn't feel too tied to the 70's and 80's since it wasn't even very common during that time period. It feels fresh, classic, tom boyish and sexy. I guess I like Veronica because I can picture the name working well for so many different personality types. Also it isn't as common as Victoria. Victoria is also a fairly universal personality type name but I grew up knowing so many Victoria's that the name at some point became boring to me. I think I've only ever met one or two Veronica's before. For Veronica I like the nicknames Ronnie, Vera, Verona and Verity.
My sister only has two names that she really loves for girls, Veronica and Elliott with the nn Elle and Ellie.
