[Opinions] Re: Can Rune/Rue be a nickname for Veronica?
Well, Rune would be an out-of-place nickname for someone who is Christian-religious. Mostly because Rune (though applicable to all ancient faiths) are generally associated with Paganism in literature. Rue is also a sad meaning, which is not likely something Christian parents would use. But, either could technically work despite the unlikelihood, especially if the nickname was used to demonstrate a streak of rebellion in the character. I like the nickname - though it is a stretch from Veronica. If you could give it a decent back story (little brother caller her va-roon-ka, because he couldn't pronounce it and it evolved into simply roo or roon, Rue/Rune...) it could work for a written piece. Tony from Anthony doesn't change the base sound, which is why it works naturally. Especially since some accents pronounce Anthony as an-ton-ee. If it were me, and I didn't have a backstory to easily explain the nickname... I would pick something other than Veronica. ______________________________________________
