it's one of those longer names that don't sound too serious or too much of a mouthful without a nickname. it sounds way more relaxed than say, calling a kid by Alexandra all the time. keep in mind though, the kid may want to go by a nickname when she's old enough, at least with others, and you can't stop that.

about the name itself, it's gorgeous to me. very multilayered. the variety of nicknames (Vee and Vera are super cute btw) is part of the appeal to me. the one thing i don't like about it is how the meaning has such a specific Christian origin, but that literally only matters to me. "true image" on its own is a wonderful meaning.
