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?

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

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

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

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

Not fond of Tor though.

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

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

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

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

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

Like Victoria but don't like it shortened

not keen. Don't like Vicky.

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

Not 'shortened' to Plum obviously!

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.

good

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

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.

janeite - thats on my ipod!

50,000 fall fans cant be wrong!

I half thought you were called Vicarina Tutu!

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

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

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

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

lol

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

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.

Love it
