[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is Veronica and her nickname is Vera (VEH-RA) When she was a baby, Vera seemed to fit her better, but in preschool she wanted to be Veronica. That held until 1st grade when there was a Victoria in her class and they were always getting them confused. Then she went back to Vera and that stuck. She’s in 5th grade and is still going by Vera. Not sure what she’ll do in the future! [/quote]

I can't figure out how to say this. Not Veer-a? Because VEH-RA seems impossible for me to pronounce. [/quote]

The Ver sounds like Bear but with a V[/quote]

It sounds like the Ve in the beginning of Veronica. Just not Veeera.[/quote]

Like so the Ver rhymes with sir? The way I hear people say Veronica, the er rhymes with sir. [/quote]

Lol, this is a mess. Maybe Veronica's mom isn't American?

I too pronounce Veronica with the first syllable rhyming with Sir.

Pp seems to pronounce it with the first syllable sounding like Bear, which I've never really heard before.

I did meet a Russian woman named Vera, rhymes with Bear-uh.

The only Veronica I know goes by Ronni. Her sisters are Alexandra/Alex and Frances/Frankie.
