Actually I don't think of the Simpsons when I think of Selma I think of the actress Selma Hyack( I don't know if thats how her last name is spelled oh well) Anyways. I like the name Selma I think its very pretty. Veronica is a nice name as well.

I hate both of those names although I dislike Selma more. Selma sounds like an old woman and Veronica is just blah to me.

If you can't decide. :]
LOOOVE Veronica, dislike Vera. I like the nn Vicky or Nikki.
Selma is yuck. I think Celery. Or Salmonella.

I really like both, and Vera is my favourite NN for Veronica.
I don't connect Selma to the Simpsons at all, being Swedish my first association is to Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf.
I would probably choose a long (three or for syllables) name as MN for Veronica, I can't think right now of any short ones I think sound good in combination.
Selma is more open.
Example to what I mean is, Selma Veronica is ok, but I don't think Veronica Selma sounds good.

I'm have always been in love with Veronica nn Vera!

I think it's better than Veronica "vero" or "roni", I have been also thinking about the same thing: Veronica "Vera". I love it. What do you think about it's french form, Veronique?

Both are on my list. :-D

Veronica - I have a love-hate relationship with this naeme. On one hand, I love it, on the other I find it snooty and cold. Overall, it's lovely. Vera is a cool nickname, though I prefer the name on its own. NNs - Ronnie and V are the only ones I think of.

---

Selma - This I love. It's very pretty, it's weighted, great namesakes. I'd also use it.

Veronica Rose
Selma Jade

Veronica is ok. Selma is really nice. I also like Sela. I know that The Simpsons is an iconic piece of pop culture, but I don't think the generation of babies being born now will have as strong an association to the show as we do, especially since I think this character isn't a main character of the show. (I don't really watch the show too often, but have never heard of her...)

I love Selma and I think the Simpsons did that name wrong naming an nasty old hag that name LOL. Salma (similar to Selma)Hayek is gorgeous though. ;)

Veronica is NMS although I love Vera & Verity.

Selma doesnt make me think Simpsons, I have no idea why that is (never watch it either).

---

Anyway, I do think of a cat for some reason

I dislike the name Veronica, but I love Vera.

---

Selma isn't my style, but I wouldn't mind seeing it on someone else's child.

---

Edit - I hadn't make the Selma/Simpsons connection. I don't watch the show though.
