Agree on name, disagree on nn

mattandlora · June 2015

For theoretical team green baby #3 which may never happen. .... DH and I both like the name Victoria but can't agree on a nn

I love Victoria but I could never use it because I hate Vicky and Tory.

Queen Victoria is one of my favorite historical figures and if I didn't have a cousin that I'm close with, I'd love to use the name myself! It's a name with a lot of gravitas! My cousin is Nn Tori. It works well on her...she's spunky and cute

I like just V (vee) as a nn. It's the nn we woul have used with Valentina.

maxinelund · June 2015

I voted for using the full name, bit I like V too. Maybe Ria?

You can call her by different nicknames you know.

mattandlora · June 2015

I love that no one is supporting Vicky yet. That's what DH would use as a nn. Our DD (who is 2 months old) was almost Victoria. But the deal-breaker was a stalemate about what to call her.

If I had any feelings they would be hurt. Signed, Victoria but goes by Vicky

MamaWren919 · June 2015

I don't like Vicky or Tori. I think V is cute, if you must use a nn.

So true. Haha... If anything, I'd use "V"

my cousin's gf goes by just Vic. It definitely works for her.

V Money? Tornado? V-tor? Vicky-vicky-tor-tor?

Just don't use a nickname.

I don't like Vicky or Tori. Victoria is lovely or use an unrelated nickname.

oneblessedmess · July 2015

Personally, I don't understand choosing nicknames before the child is born. You may find she arrives and she just naturally becomes a Vicky. Or maybe she'll just be Victoria, and no nickname will stick. There's no need to set one in stone now. I know a little Victoria who goes by Tori and I could never picture her being called Vicky. I'm sure there are Vickys out there who feel the same way about being called Tori.

In any case, I like Tori out of your two options. Vicky always makes me think of the song "Icky Vicky" about the mean babysitter from the Fairly Oddparents. I believe it went "Hey Vicky, you're oh so icky, just the thought of being around you makes me oh so sicky..."

Vic

I think Victoria is a lovely name, but if you're already thinking of nn's, why bother with that name to begin with?

mattandlora · July 2015

Well all, thanks for confirming what I've told DH a million times. Not everyone needs a nn. (His argument is that if ppl are going to use a nn, we should pick it.) I think we just need to drop names off the list if we can't agree on what to call them on a day-to-day basis, nn or not.

dogsombrero · July 2015

Our son Julian is called Jules, Julian or Booger (toddlers have a special flair for nose-picking). The nn you end up using may not be remotely close to the name and when she is old enough I'm sure she'll tell you a preference. If this is one of the only names you agree on don't toss it because of a nn dispute.

I love the nickname Tori. I tried to talk my husband into the name Victoria just for the nickname. Lol
