In doing research on the name Veronica, I have discovered that Fanny was also frequently used as a pet form of Veronica in the 19th century United States. It is common for a woman who is "Veronica" in one census to be "Fanny" in another, and there is a somewhat famous example in that the mother of candy baron Milton Hershey was Veronica "Fanny" Snavely Hershey. This is partly because Veronica was often respelled as "Faronica" in early 19th century America.

This name is VERY popular in many francophone countries, I knew many girls with this name abroad. There was a French girl who came to the U.S. the year before I left named Fanny and everyone made fun of her and slapped her butt. I can't imagine what they would be slapping in commonwealth nations. :-0
I would name my child Fanny if I lived in a francophone nation, other than the unfortunate association, it's really cute! Fanny is a very polite word for butt anyway!
