[Opinions] Re: Victoria
in reply to a message by Ash
I really like Victoria myself, for a lot the reasons others have mentioned already. My only problem with it? I really, really, really don't like the nicknames for it. Like, any of them. Vic, Vicky, Tori, Ree, Ria, Toria... I think they're all kinda blergh tbh That's the only reason I would never use it myself. I have used it in a story though, but the character was only ever called Victoria and nothing else :P Couldn't even bring myself to use one of those nns in a work of fiction!

Yeah I know just what you mean. I've got a few names like that on my lists as well. Totally love the full name, but none of the obvious nickname options appeal to me at all.

This topic isn't about that, it's about the name Victoria and its possible/assumed nns. Obviously a person can have just about any nickname... but I'm specifically speaking about Victoria and its nns, not those that would be made from how a person walks or looks.

DO you know that? It appears you don't because you stated the ONLY reason you wouldn't use Victoria is because of the nicknames derived from it. I was trying to help YOU out but I don't need to help out snarky people. That's just one less person who will be named Victoria... Fine with me.
I honestly thought you were being snarky in your initial response. It felt like you were assuming I was stupid for not thinking there were other possible nns, which honestly offended me, especially since I was specifically responding to the OPs question of Victoria and its nns, not other possible nns as you mentioned. Because of course we all know someone can be called Shorty or Red or whatever, but the topic was about a specific name and set of nns, which is why your comment seemed rude to me.
