We just found out our twins (due in [name_f]April[/name_f]) are girls! We are thinking we want to use [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] and [name_f]Deborah[/name_f], because they’re both family names for both of us. His mother is [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] and his paternal grandmother is [name_f]Debra[/name_f]. My mother is [name_f]Deborah[/name_f] and maternal grandmother is [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]. We like the Hebrew spelling better ![]()
We know nicknames are going to happen, especially since both names are “old lady names.” We don’t like [name_f]Tori[/name_f] or [name_f]Vicky[/name_f] for [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]. We are thinking [name_f]Toya[/name_f] (what my grandmother goes by), [name_u]Rory[/name_u], or [name_f]Ria[/name_f]. Are there any other creative nicknames for [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]?
For [name_f]Deborah[/name_f], we really don’t like [name_f]Deb[/name_f]. Both of our family members go by [name_f]Debbie[/name_f], so we don’t want to use that as a nickname either. Are there any others for [name_f]Deborah[/name_f]?
As I was typing this, I thought maybe [name_u]Rory[/name_u] for [name_f]Deborah[/name_f]? I know it’s a stretch, but there is that R sound at the end?
Also wanted to add that we will normally call them [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] and [name_f]Deborah[/name_f], but we know nicknames are inevitable, and we kind of want to steer them ourselves.
