HelpRe: Veronica
in reply to a message by Lily
I love Veronica, I'd use it myself. It's funny when people ask if its ready for a comeback cause I never actually knew it was an old lady name. I've never met anyone of an older generation with that name. So to me its just a fresh, strong, interesting name. The first time I saw it was on the show Veronica Mars, and Veronica is played by Kirsten Bell and she is definitely not an old lady.
I'm not a huge fan of roni as a nickname. I prefer Vera or just V, depending on the person.
Definitely Veronica over Heather. To me, Heather is an old lady. In fact where I live, there are so many old ladies named heather that there is actually an annual convention where they all get together. I kid you not.

Where are you from, if you don't mind my asking? I'm curious because where I'm from, the Eastern US, Heather has definitely not reached old lady status yet. The oldest Heather I know is fifty, but it's unusual to find a Heather that old. She was born in 1962, when Heather was number 247 in the US. It didn't start to take off until the late sixties, and was really popular starting in the early seventies going through the eighties. Of the other Heathers I've known, my niece is the oldest, and she's thirty-eight, definitely not an old lady. Much as I dislike the name, I just can't see it as "old lady". My grandchildren probably will, but that's in the future.

Oh, not the UK, New Zealand! Interesting. I couldn't find any popularity statistics for Heather in New Zealand, but I guess its popularity peaked earlier there than in the US.

Yeah you won't find many popularity statistics further back than about 5 years for NZ unfortunately, they're so slack with that
