Re: Veronica
in reply to a message by Perrine
I like the full name too. I think it's got a glamorous, sophisticated vibe to it.
The youngest Veronica I know would be about twenty now. Her nickname, at least in her family, is Rocky. She was hit by a car when she was little and was almost killed and had to learn to walk and talk all over again, and she worked so hard at it that her family started calling her Rocky.

That is horrendous and a real waste when the real name is a lovely one such as Veronica. If I went through something as awful as that I would not then want to be saddled with the moniker Rocky as a constant reminder. The only thing I can think of to match it is my stepmother going by Biggs when her real name is Melinda.
