i don't think any of those are dated, those all age well imho? though tbh i think too many names are called dated.

---

i like Veronica a lot, i knew someone who went by Ronnie. you could also use Vera as a nickname (Vera is also a good alternative if you're still unsure).

I think that style of name is due for a comeback. I was recently thinking of Danica and Monica myself.

Veronica from The Archies (there is a remake on Netflix now).

---

I think Veronica has a punk edge. Ronni could be a nickname, or maybe Veri.

Veronica Blythe
Veronica Shea
Veronica Devon
Veronica Michelle
Veronica Sharon

I love it and had for a long time. It has a slight 70s vibe to it but I don't think it's as tied to the time period as something like Monica. It's definitely still usable and I'd love to see a young girl be named Veronica.

I feel like there have been a lot of posts about it, actually.

I like it for its elegance and sultriness. My first thought was that it wasn't dated at all. It didn't seem so to me. I've never known a Veronica of any age. But if you look at its popularity statistics, it was most popular in the 70s and 80s and it's fallen since then. So yes, it's dated. You can't say a name isn't popular or dated because you've never known anyone of the name. You have to go by the statistics.

I'm not a huge fan of it. I used it once, but I don't really like it. Something about it feels bland and ugly to me. I much prefer Victoria. I'm not quite sure if it's dated, though. It sounds relatively modern to me.

It's very dated here, but it was never popular. We don't have a large English-speaking population, and most Catholics aren't English speakers, which might account for it.

I find it unattractive and very inconvenient: it's long, so it'd need a nn, but all the options are NMS. Vera is totally dated, Ron is unattractive on males and worse on females, Nic or Nick or Nicky etc would get lost in all the throngs of Nicole people, and then there's the possibility of someone with a sense of humour doing things with Nica's knickers ...

I'm gonna outvote Tisiphone here and say I love it right now! I agree with all of Rossana's (Felie) reasoning. It is kinda dated here, but that's okay. At least it's not "old lady" dated like Mildred. lol

Definitely very dated. It's the slightly less ugly sister of the repulsive Valerie - heavy, old-fashioned and severe. I hate the 'ron' sound in the middle

I have a Spanish friend who shortens it to Vero which I think is much fresher and prettier

Hi Perrine !!!

---

Veronica is one of my favourite names. I rate it 10/10.

---

I love all its meanings (the floreal name, 'she brings victory', 'true image'). It has a long, wonderful history behind it.

---

In Italy it is very 1990s.
In 1999 were born 1660 Veronica (#34). After that year it decreased very fastly.

---

In 2015 were born only 432 Veronica (#91) the lowest since '99.

---

I think it is a good fact. I love this name and I'm glad to see it less popular. Infact if you are a namenerd it is annoying that so many people choose a wonderful name only because it is trendy.

---

So .. i love it.
