Edward. Love Ed. There is something about Victor that makes it unappealing but I can't put my finger on what it is.

I always imagine Victor being said in a scary vampire voice. Not sure why.

Thanks for all your opinions. I know what people mean about Victor. However, when I ignore my preconceptions of the name, I think it is really cool and strong. Thanks again for your replies.
