Samantha, no contest
in reply to a message by Lumiereslove
I prefer the sounds of Samantha over Veronica, hands down. I tend to enjoy "v" sounds in names, but "ver" as the first sound doesn't suit me. I also prefer the look of Samantha. Samantha has sweetness, warmth and friendliness that, for me, Veronica lacks. With Samantha, I get images of sunshine and fields of flowers. Veronica feels more urban, "edgy", aloof.
