HelpRe: Veronica
in reply to a message by Lily
I like Veronica a lot. It's got a lively fun-loving sound, but it isn't silly. Not crazy about Ronnie or Roni though.
I prefer Veronica to Heather. Heather had a very short shelf life as names go; it was the Brittany of its time. I knew loads of Heathers growing up. There is a good reason why the movie was called Heathers rather than Mindys or Pams or Berthas; Heather was very much coming into fashion at the time the Heathers wwould have been born, so it makes sense.

I love Veronica. It starts out soft and ends with the sharp, tidy -nica. I guess I like the -ica ending, because it is a lot of the reason I like Monica and Jessica.
I'm not sure of this, but I think it is more common among Catholics. According to my husband, who is a bit of a Bible scholar, a woman named Veronica is said to have met Jesus, but is not in the Bible. She's more of a legend. I don't know, as my knowledge of the Bible is not that extensive.
Yes, Heather was very popular at one time, at least in the U.S. When I had my son, who is 35, I got to know the woman who was in the next bed in the hospital. She named her daughter Heather.
Heather also is the name of the wife of my ex. She is older than your typical Heather though. I believe she is about 45. I guess her parents were trend-setters.
I don't think Heather has a very appealing sound. Veronica does, though.

Yes, Saint Veronica met Jesus on the road to Calvary and wiped his face with her towel, and an image of his face appeared on the towel.
Veronica is common among Italians and Hispanics, who tend to be Catholic.
I like Veronica and Jessica, but I can't stand Monica. Go figure.
