I really like it! Not sure what else to say? I've only known 1, she's in her mid twenties now. Some people think of it as an older person name, but I think it's refreshing.

I'm a big fan. I think it fits in with the trend (which I love) of using "old lady" names, yet it's one that hasn't really caught on yet, so it's plenty unique while being totally recognizable. It was on my "long list" for a while.
I want to like this name, but simply don't (even in spite of the dress designer/brand Vera Wang, it just sounds super backwoods to me). I feel like it's appeal is riding the coattails of sweeter, lovelier, classier short names like Eva, Mila, Leah, Greta, Anna, Norah, etc. (Not sure if my list has the best examples, but you get my drift).

I think it would be cute on a baby, toddler, and little girl. I see it as being refreshing on a young lady, and a very respectable name for a grown woman.
I can't help but thinking similar things as others that posted (Vera Wang and a friend's dog's name is Vera). Also, wasn't that the name of Norm's wife on Cheers?

It's is TERRIBLE! I absolutely detest it! You are a fool if you use it!
(Actually it's in my top two, and I guess now I have to be on a crusade to keep it from getting popular
... so...yeah... what I just said!)

I do, however, love the longer name Veronica.
Ditto, also, to me it's a word (true, in italian) and not a name, but this fact isn't very significant in the US

I also went to Bradley before Wang. But neither are a bad association. It is a nice name.
I quite like it.

I like this name but every time I bring it up I get a very mixed response from family :S
