I'm using Venetia for the name of a character in the 19th century. Well, "Venetia" is actually her pseudonym (her real name is something much simpler), nonetheless it strikes me as a quite Victorian name. I kind of like it.

Curiously enough, though, I have never met a real-life Venetia... but I've met or heard of at least three women named Veneta (vuh-NEE-tuh). I think that variant was more common in the first decades of the 20th century (particularly the 1930s).
