Where are all the baby victorias??

[sleepdodger]

I'm a child of late seventies early eighties and have many peers called Victoria or nn of
It's a classic solid royal name yet in comparison to Alexandra / lexi / Alex or Elizabeth/ Lizzy/ lib etc I don't hear of any babies called Victoria... Is it just here or is it underused and out of favour?
What else fits in thus category?!

Oh, "Trick" as a nn made me lol!! I know it as slang for a prostitute or in some cases, what a prostitute does: "turning a trick."

I love the name Victoria. Would have to be either Vicki or Tori for a n.n though as I'd be too lazy to say the full name. My daughter is Molly but she's know as Mol. When I call her Molly, she knows she's in trouble! so If I'm too lazy to say a five letter name in full I'd certainly be too lazy to say an 8 letter name in full.

It's on my list if I have a dd2 really like it but dislike Vicky so I may use it as a middle name so it can't be shortened

Love the name enough to use it but hate Vicky and Tori.

I really like the name but there are no babies / toddlers / older children around here called it (my eldest is 8 & don't know older kids really )

I know a Victoria who's about 18 months old. It's cute on her.

Love the name as victoria, dislike all NNs that go with it...definitely has been cheapened by some awful tv characters (just in my mind)

I like tori as a nn but they would end up vicky by secondary school I'm sure

I really like Victoria - sounds pretty and feminine.

I don't like Tori at all, sounds like a member of the political party!

I like it a lot but dislike ALL it's nicknames. Therefore would never use it.

I'm Victoria born mid 70's,i an Vicki to everyone. The name is growing on me as i get older more than Vicki is.

I like it - due a comeback along with Elizabeth, Catherine and all names royal. Also maybe Anne.

I love the name Victoria. Everyone I have ever met called Victoria has been lovely, funny and great company. Great nickname options. Vicky is not at all inevitable, none I know are called it as adults. Though I like it especially for a little one then could shorten to Vic. Or lengthen to Victoria!

It's still in the top 100 so not that uncommon. I think the nicknames might put people off though. I think Vika the Russian short form is the best of them personally.

My name too, early eighties. It has never occurred to me I have a name of my time before! I am Vicky at work and to friends, but family hate it. On the whole Victoria or Vicky are not names I would choose, but ai guess it's my name... Usually call myself V so I suppose that says something!

How about Veronica? Thats a lovely name and underused. Very or Ronnie for short

*Vera!

Tora is a nice nn.

Love Vita as a nn for Victoria.

I think the 'problem' is that the mothers are either called Victoria or they were at school with one. It just seems odd to give a baby a name that was common when you were a child.

I don't mind Victoria (I have a cousin with the name) but I really, really hate Vicky. I knew a Tori which is a bit better but she was absolutely awful, loud, chavvy and violent towards other people at our school so it has coloured the name for me!
