Any views on Victor?

[Prawncat]

Seriously considering it but never met one......

I really like it. I have never met one either.

I knew one - he was Romanian and a very nice, considerate, gentlemanly type. It's not a name I would choose, but I've certainly got nothing against it and it's unusual in a good way I would say :-) Why not!

I know one. I'm not keen, tbh. (Although it does lend itself to humourous "rubbing Vicks/Vic's on chest" jokes....)

I think of Victor Meldrew. It's not an awful name, just isn't the best sounding IMO. Don't like the nn Vic though.

Cecil last week.

Victor this.

Myrtle on another thread......

No, I don't love it.

noooo -I just think of the creepy Victor on House of Anubis....

not that I would watch it of course -- other than to check it was suitable for my girls......... of course..........

Victor is good but Vic is a sweaty middle aged man.

Meldrew. Sorry.

Sorry but bloody awful name.

You did ask.

As long as you have two more and name them Roger and Charlie

Sorry, one more and name him Roger- the other one was Clarence Oveur

love it. considered it

I love it! Some of the Hectors should be Victors.

I actually really liked it. I liked Victor Alexander, thought it sounded like a very strong masculine name. Dh didn't! Not sure about nns though, don't like Vic. Suits a man, not so much a baby or teen if that makes sense.

Victor Meerkat (Compare the market.com)

My Dads a Victor so I find it hard to imagine on a baby. Pretty much everyone except my gran calls him Vic so if you don't like Viv as a nn I wouldn't use it

I have a Bil Victor, cool guy so good connotations for me.
Agree that nn Vic is awful - Queen Vic anyone?

I love it, it was on our list. We had the name down as someone cool, punky 1980s-style or post-war London gangstery, but decided that actually here in the soft-as-anything home counties it would sound poncy and affected. I still really like it though, it might be on the list still for the next one.

Oh dear, not popular then! Still on our list though ;)

I like it! DH didn't though.

I love it! Victoria is fine, why not Victor?

I love it.... Hubby and I love Vic as a nn, but we like reginald too, Reggie!

I have one in my class- he is lovely x

My friends 4 yo is called victor so I'm slightly used to it as a kids name now. I know a few old 'vic's'. I don't much like it to be honest.
