Nicknames for Victoria?

[name]Hi[/name] there. I have question for you berries. I’m in love with the name [name]Victoria[/name], but don’t like the nicknames of [name]Tori[/name], [name]Toria[/name], or [name]Vicky[/name]. Someone suggested the nickname [name]Vika[/name] (pronounced Vee-ka), which is a nickname for [name]Victoria[/name] in the Ukraine, I guess.

What do you think?

[name]Ria[/name] might be nice, I am biased though I love [name]Tori[/name] :slight_smile:

I also like [name]Tori[/name] because it means “bird” in Japanese. [name]Vika[/name] could be cute. What about [name]Via[/name]?

[name]Vita[/name]! (it means “life” in Italian). I like it best as a nickname for [name]Vittoria[/name], but I think it could work for [name]Victoria[/name] too.

Are you looking for a nn because you don’t like [name]Victoria[/name], or because you fear the inevitable and want to force it one way or the other? I’m only asking because I too have a 3-syllable name that I go by all the time…no nn (well, ok, sometimes my husband and my sister and my best friend call me a shortened version - but only if they are trying to quickly get my attention. I just think [name]Victoria[/name] is beautiful, elegant. the nn’s are just OK, of the ones suggested, I guess I’d pick [name]Vita[/name].

I like nn [name]Rory[/name] for [name]Victoria[/name]. [name]Vika[/name] (Vee-ka) and [name]Vita[/name] are cute too. I don’t care much for [name]Tori[/name] or [name]Vicky[/name] though. [name]Victoria[/name] is a lovely name!

You could get [name]Vika[/name], sure. I also could see V/Vee, [name]Vi[/name] (Vee or Vie), or [name]Vivi[/name] (Like Vivvy).

I know a [name]Victoria[/name] who goes by [name]Viv[/name]/[name]Vivi[/name]. I like [name]Rory[/name] and [name]Ria[/name] also.

I think [name]Rory[/name] would work well!

Sorry, i do like [name]Tori[/name]/[name]Torie[/name] a lot, though i also like…
[name]Vic[/name]
Vittie
V
[name]Ria[/name]
[name]Tia[/name]
Sorry, not a lot coming to mind

I have a friend who has a daughter named [name]Victoria[/name]. From birth she has gone by the nickname of [name]Ita[/name].

I really like the nickname [name]Vika[/name], and it could work even with your spelling. I’ve got a three year old who loved watching the gymnastics in the Olympics, and one of the Russian gymnasts was named [name]Viktoria[/name] with the nickname [name]Vika[/name].

I never thought of [name]Rory[/name] as a nn for [name]Victoria[/name], but I think it works! Very cute!

My personal favourite is [name]Vika[/name] which I first heard on a Belarussian tennis player. She also sometimes spells it [name]Vichka[/name], pronounced the same way. I also love [name]Vita[/name]. But I love the full [name]Victoria[/name] most of all. :slight_smile:

I was going to suggest [name]Vika[/name], the Russian nickname! I love it. I love [name]Torey[/name] as well, or [name]Rory[/name].

[name]Vita[/name] is pretty or just plain V.

I like [name]Tori[/name] (I know you said you didn’t like it though).
