We named our daughter Veronica mostly because other girls’ names that we really liked (Jessica, Olivia) were already taken by other family members. Once we settled on it though, I was really happy with the choice. My daughter enjoys some really cool namesakes - awesome TV show “Veronica Mars,” gorgeous actress Veronica Lake, and this groovy song by Elvis Costello. Even though the song is about an old lady named Veronica, whenever I hear it, I think of my daughter and all the ways she brings me joy. Thanks, Elvis.

One of my favorite songs. I think the best line is, “You can call me anything you like, but my name is Veronica.” Such calm confidence!
I thought of you a little while ago, btw: I pass your office on my way to and from work (I just got home).
