I really like this name! It feels very mature and graceful :D it comes from Latin ‘alder field’, or a variant of Veronica ‘bringer of victory’. It’s also a little similar to the Russian word for crow, ‘vorona’. I like the nicknames V, Veve/Vivi, Vero, Rona, and Vera ♡.
Verona Burkhard (1910–2004) was an American artist, known for her murals painted for the U.S. Treasury Department. She participated in four public projects including three United States post office murals and five murals completed for the Immigration and Naturalization Service. She has works in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Western Colorado Center for the Arts.
Sounds very pretty, but I prefer Veronica. Also, it rhymes with "corona".

I like this as an alternative to Veronica. I prefer Verena to Verona though. I like the association with a beautiful Italian city like Florence, much better than say, Brooklyn or such.

Vera/Verona derives from the ancient and modern Albanian/Illyrian name Vera, which means Summer. And a version of Verona means summer like feeling!
This is the name of Maya Rudolph's character in the movie "Away We Go," starring alongside John Krasinski. I think thought it was little odd at first, but I think I like it. And since I love the movie so much, it's grown on me. :)
Dakota is also a place name and people still use it, and so is Jordan and Sydney, Paris, Chelsea, I can go on for years. No one seems to be teased about it.

The name sounds both beautiful and cool, and I prefer it to Veronica. However, there's a very ditzy German celebrity named Verona Pooth, formerly Verona Feldbusch, and this name reminds me of her too much. Maybe one day I'll hear of someone else with this name that is actually cool.
