I think this name is lovely. If you like Venetia, feel free to use it. Don't let one idiot's opinion ruin it for you.

My name is Venetia. I personally love the name, it is unique and uncommon.
Beatrice Venetia Stanley Montagu - known as Venetia Stanley - was a famous British aristocrat and socialite, daughter of the baron Edward Lyulph Stanley. She was named for the 17th century beauty Venetia Anastasia Stanley Digby, who popularised the name.
This name sounds rather trashy, but at the same time stuffy. I don't like this trend of using Italian place names as given names because no one in Italy is named Venetia, Roma, or Firenze.
Some authorities (including the Oxford Dictionary of Christian Names) have explained this as a Latinization of Gwenyth/Gwyneth. Compare to the Latinization of Gwynedd (Venedotia). [noted -ed]

I adore this name. It's the most beautiful name I've come across so far. It sounds very aesthetic and steampunk-ish. Reminds me of someone who is red-haired, fiery and passionate.

Venetia Yewbeam is Charlie Bone's Great-Aunt in the Charlie Bone series. She is gifted with manipulating clothing.
This doesn't really sound right as a name. It sounds weird in Europe, and in American usage, this would sound like a ghetto name with the ''eesha'' pronunciation that the name has in English.
A name almost the same as "Venetia" is the Bulgarian feminine name "Veneta", which is connected with the Bulgarian word "venetz", which means "wreath".
