Tori for a girl?

I know it's kind of nicknamey (yep, that's totally a word, haha) but I saw a girl today that I went to high school the other day and her name was just Tori. I am really starting to like it!

  • As a nn for Victoria, I think it's ok.

    But I don't like the -i ending very much (names like Tammi, Misti, etc. don't look very sophisticated or modern).

    And Tory just makes me think of politics. It would be a shame to name someone Tory when she might turn out to be a Whig!

  • I don't really like Victoria. I associate Tory as more masculine, I guess because I know a Tory who is a guy. Vicky is nms. To be honest, I don't have a good reason for like the name. It just keeps growing on me. I thought of the Tori Spelling reference which I don't mind. Hmmm, another name to think about, haha!

  • I knew a few folks grouping up that were just Tory or Tori (girls). I'm not a fan.

    I love the name Victoria, but have always hated the nickname Tori.  

    This. And I like Tori as a fn even less than as a nn.

  • I have a friend whose name is Torrey.  It's not short for anything and long enough to stand on its own.  I've always liked the name since meeting her.
    Me: 35/Hubs: 35 - just moved to Minneapolis from Chicago. TTC for 18 months and expecting baby #1 April 18, 2012! Needed IVF after a few failed rounds of IUI and it worked!
  • My name is Victoria and I have gone by Tori since birth pretty much lol I always hated being called Vic or Vicki. :) I had no idea so many people hated it! I've neve rmet another Tori personally but I know its getting to be rather popular as I hear it a lot. I knew 1 guy in school that spelled it the same way (Tori)

  • One of my closest friends growing up was named Tori. I had never heard the name before I met her. Apparently, her mother was a big fan of Victoria/Victorian style. Tori wasn't a nick name, but her full name. Her middle name was Beth. I think it's pretty.
