Comments for the name Venetia

Georgette Heyer also had a book titled Venetia and an excellent book it was!

A name almost the same as "Venetia" is the Bulgarian feminine name "Veneta", which is connected with the Bulgarian word "venetz", which means "wreath".

This is the Latin form of Venice.

Venetia Burney, now Venetia Phair, was the girl who named Pluto.

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.

Venetia Yewbeam is Charlie Bone's Great-Aunt in the Charlie Bone series. She is gifted with manipulating clothing.

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.

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]

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.

A very prim and proper name favoured by the upper middle-class in the United Kingdom.

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.

I think this name is quite alright, really, but it will always make me think of Venetian blinds. :\
