It is preferable to some word names... I have to admit I'm not a fan of
Laura and
Lauren and I only like
Laurel if prn'd
Laurelle (sounds a tad classier).
Laurie I prefer as
Lori, but still not on my list.
Victoria's still nice and strong though. There are also the various
Nick names (
Nicole,
Nicola, etc.)... and Jpns. names w/
Katsu in them... Anyway, I'll throw some names out here and you can play around w/ versions you like. I tend to aim for good meanings:
