Baby Names

What do you think of the name Victoria?

Victoria?  Yay or Nay?  And if you like it... any middle name suggestions?

 

Victoria Elizabeth??? 

Re: What do you think of the name Victoria?

  • I LOVE it. I don't like Vicky or Tori as nn, though. It's nice with Elizabeth. I would pick either a long, classic name like Elizabeth, or a short name.

    Victoria Catherine

    Victoria Claire

    Victoria Jane

  • i like victoria!  it's a nice, classic, and underused (at least in my area) name.

    victoria elizabeth is pretty :)

    other middle name suggesetions: anne, marie, rose, renee, elise, noelle.

  • I would recommend probably not Elizabeth if you do go with Victoria.  Both names are great names, but putting them together makes it sound a little bit like you are naming her after the previous and current queen of England.

  • Thank you.  I didn't think of that.  My middle name is Elizabeth and our son has my husbands middle name...so that was why I thought I would pass it down.  But I also love Rose.  Its a common middle name, but it is my grandmother's mother's name.  

     

    Let me know if anyone has any other suggestions.  Thanks so much. 

  • Victoria's ok but I hate Vicky and Tori. Yuck! If you want de-queenitize it how about:

    Victoria Elise

    Victoria Claire

    Victoria June

    Victoria Laurel

    Victoria Heather

    Victoria Jane

    Victoria Alexandra

    Victoria Dawn

    Victoria Ruth

    Victoria Anne

    Victoria Edith

    Victoria Belle

  • I like Victoria but I hate the nicknames Vickie and Tori, which is why we took it off our girls list. If you like the nicknames or they don't bother you, Victoria is really pretty, and Victoria Elizabeth is nice.

    I love Victoria, but I don't like the nns that go with it which would probably be an issue since it's such a long name. 

    I would go with a shorter middle name.

    I love Victoria!

    I agree with the PP who said Victoria Elizabeth sounds like you were inspired by the royal family, but since Elizabeth is your middle name, I'm sure you would get a pass on this. Victoria Rose is lovely too, though.

    Some other suggestions:

    Victoria Blair
    Victoria Blythe
    Victoria Dawn
    Victoria Faye
    Victoria Gail
    Victoria Jane
    Victoria Mae
    Victoria Paige
    Victoria Ruth

  • I like that Elizabeth is your middle name, too. I'd stick with it. The names sound beautiful together and I think an elegant name like Victoria needs an equally elegant middle name, like Elizabeth.

    I love it.  It's my daughter's middle name and I think it's strong and sophisticated.

    I hate Vicky and Tori though.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE! Classic and gorgeous! If it wasn't my cousin's daughter's name it would be at the top of the list. Her name is Victoria Rose (Rose was our grandmother's name), but I think Victoria Elizabeth is stunning. 
  • Yay. I like Victoria Jane
  • Victoria is a beautiful name.  Classic, feminine and not as overdone as so many of the names we're seeing right now.  I do agree w/ the other responses about trying to de-queen it a bit.... there are a lot of great suggestions, I think that Victoria Rose is stunning.

  • I love Victoria!  It came off my list because I don't like any of the nicknames. 

    Victoria Elizabeth is very regal.  A bit of a mouthful, but pretty.  For me, I would prefer a shorter middle name to cut down on the syllables.

  • I vote 'yay.'

    I think both Victoria Elizabeth and Victoria Rose are gorgeous.

    I'm not a big fan of the nicknames either, but there is no reason that she can't just be called Victoria.

  • I have a neice named Victoria Marie. Its very elegant. Although - she does get called Tori and never Victoria.

  • I don't like....it just sounds aggressive to me. I have a niece Victoria & she goes by Vicki (which I dislike even more).

  • My daughter's name is Victoria Amelia, and she goes by Victoria, and has for two years. I am okay with Tori, but prefer everyone call her Victoria and everyone does except for kids who can't say her whole name, it comes out, Toria. I love Victoria Elizabeth but I'm partial to Elizabeth, that's my middle name :-)
