Same era, but close to Veronica
These names follow Veronica's curve too, but we left them out above because they share a first letter or an ending with Veronica. Some parents like that echo; if you do, start here.
How these were chosen
Each suggestion's share of US babies has followed a curve close to Veronica's since 1880, and its recent number of babies is within about twelve times Veronica's, so the names are in the same league. Names starting with the same letter as Veronica or with the same ending are left out, so the names go together without matching. Spellings of Veronica itself are excluded.
