[quote=Anonymous][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]

OMG! It’s not that complicated! It’s pronounced like Aloe Vera. [b]I’ve never heard anyone pronounce Veronica with a Vir sound. [/b]

NP. And I’ve never heard anyone pronounce Veronica any other way besides Vir (rhymes w sir) -onica unless they are not from US/have another language as their first language other than English.[/quote]
