We're Children Of The Universe Our Real Home Is Definitely Australia. We Both Have Homes Back In Australia. But As Far As Where We've Spent The Majority Of Our Growing-Up Time For The Last 7 Years It's Been Los Angeles.” Contrary To Popular Belief The Band Name In Fact Did Not Come From A Character In Archie Comics. In An Interview With MTV The Sisters Explicitly Stated This About The Band Name "The Name Is Something We Thought About For A Long Time And We Wanted It To Be A Girl's Name But We Didn't Want It To Be 'the Jesses. We Were Very Conscious Of Not Wanting To Make It A Twin Thing Because We Think That's Really Tacky. So One Day We Saw The Movie 'Heathers ' And There's A Line Where One Girl Asks 'Are You A Heather?' And Winona Ryder's Character Answers 'No I'm A Veronica ' And So We Went With That Because She Was This Kind Of Cool Unique Chick With An Attitude."
