I think Veronica is a lovely name and am glad you two chose it. I work at a children's toy store where we are encouraged (required) to use the childrens' names all day, and I cannot begin to describe the atrocities I've seen. Veronica is a breath of fresh air amidst the Madisons and Adysens and the Mac sisters (Mackenzie, Makayla, and McKenna). I think Ronni is a darling nickname as well, though I prefer the French "Vero" better (not that you'd be able to get Americans to pronounce it). Overall I give you a two thumbs way up on a beautiful name and an even more beautiful daughter!
