My nickname as a kid was Vonni. It's what most members of my family still call me. I put up with it from them.

In 7th grade I was teased unmercifully (in my opinion) the first day of school by my Science Teacher when I told him that was my name. I've been Veronica ever since. A few people over the years have called me Roni, and I'll answer to it. But I've never felt like a Roni.
