so ive seen several nicknames for my name, veronika. ive seen vero, vera, ronnie, and even nika. however, i live in the united states so im scared that if i have teachers call me nika, kids will "think" im calling myself a racial slur (the n-word) even tho i went to middle school with a nika/nikka (i forgot how to spell her name). i'm nonbinary, so ronnie could work for being short for ron, maybe aaron or veronika/veronica, but i dont really like masculine terms even tho there are plenty of girls named ronnie.

i already go by vero at school sometimes, especially since in my spanish class, vero was listed as a nickname for my spanish name, which is just verónica. i am also russian-american and vera is a name there in russia. ive heard of some russian girls and characters with the name.
