I like Veronica. I much prefer the nickname Vera to Roni though. In fact, I was never a fan of Veronica b/c of the nickname Roni. When we moved into our first house though we had the sweetest neighbour, and elderly lady named Veronica, she went by Vera...and that's when I started to like the name. I read a lot of Archie comic books in my childhood as well, so I have that association as well.

I prefer Veronica to Heather, b/c Heather is pretty dated to me... I'm 32, so Heather, Julie, Amanda, and of course Jennifer were *the* names of the day, I always had several classmates with those names. I will say Heather is my favorite of that bunch. I know a Heather now who is so sweet and talented that it outweighs all the negative associations from "back in the day" (teehee!)
