Reply to: Veronica by Lily
I like Veronica, but I can't stand Roni (is this a 60s-style spelling of Ronnie or is it pronounced more like Rice-a-Roni?) & Ronnie. I don't think Veronica itself is dated. It was never so popular as to be tied to just one time. If I wanted a Veronica nickname, I'd pick Vera, Nic, or Nika (NEE-ka), but I like it best in its full form.

I don't mind Heather, but, yes, it was incredibly common in the 70s & 80s. I've met dozens in my life time, most within 10 years of my age. I prefer Veronica.
