Victoria

[swanandduck]

I really like this name, and the nns Vicky or Tor. But when I mentioned it to my sister in law she made a face and said I had to be joking. What do other people think?

[autodidact]

I like it. A tiny bit formal for me but a good strong name.

[Psammead]

Tis my name - I love it, but I kind of needed to grow into it.

[Psammead]

BTW I was a Vicki as a teen, but now am mostly Vik.

[janeite]

It is a great name but it has to be growled like this

Not fond of Tor though.

[curlygurly]

Like Victoria but don't like Vic/Toria/Tor/Vicky/Vikki/Vicci etc...it's inevitable though!

[sapell3]

I like it and think it could be due a comeback.

[mrsgordonfreeman]

I'm one and hate all the abbreviations. Vic in particular sounds like someone retching. Never managed to persuade anyone to call me Tori.

[LuluF]

Vita is a nice nn (as in Vita Sackville-West). And there's a good song by The Kinks, too.

[janeite]

Ooh yes to Vita. And The Fall's cover (below) is much better than the original!

[Rubena]

Like Victoria but don't like it shortened

[pointydog]

not keen. Don't like Vicky.

[SarfEasticated]

I like it shortened to Plum and it's is a good solid name.

[SarfEasticated]

Not 'shortened' to Plum obviously!

[TheNextMrsDepp]

My name too! And I love it. I've been Vicky/Vix for years but would love to be Victoria again. And, yes, my mother always told me I was named after a plum because I was fat and purple when I was born.

[ZZZenAgain]

good

not keen on Tor but that's just because I speak German where it means "gate" and so sounds daft to my ears

[ThatVikRinA22]

its my name. i get vic. i prefer vic to vicky i have to say. victoria is my sunday name.

i prefer my middle name. which is alexandra.

[ThatVikRinA22]

janeite - thats on my ipod!

50,000 fall fans cant be wrong!

[sapell3]

I half thought you were called Vicarina Tutu!

[ThatVikRinA22]

no, when i was little i got the nn vicar,

and i like The Smiths! so im
vicar in a tutu!

[LuluF]

I'm glad I'm in such good company (re Vicar in a Tutu).

[ThatVikRinA22]

[ZZZenAgain]

I always thought you were the real Mccoy- of the cloth

lol

[ThatVikRinA22]

i am very virtuous. bless you my child, for thinking that

[Paulinespens]

I like it. I considered it for DD2 but was put off by other people (wrongly) who all seemed to hate it.
Not sure why as Victoria is IMO a very pretty name...not keen on Vicky/Vix etc though.

[mrsruffallo]

Love it
