Love Victoria but hate Vicky

Is there anyway around to not letting a full name turn into a nickname. I absolutely adore Victoria and has always been on my top 5 yet I can't stand the nickname Vicky.

Could we possibly avoid Victoria turning into Vicky or is it bound to happen no matter what?

I know Victoria's only called Tor or Tori which is far nicer than Vicky

I have known Victorias called Vix, Tory or Tors - any better?

I know a Victoria who has never been Vicky but goes by Vic. And another who goes by Tori (which personally I’d want to avoid at all costs). I’m not sure if these were formed by friends or parents though. Could you use it as a middle name instead?

Well you could always refrain from calling her Vicky but there’s no way you can control what she gets called by her mates at school once she’s a bit older.
