[Opinions] Re: Victoria
in reply to a message by Gaia
I think Vika (vee-kah) and Tori are kind of cute for other people, but I don't love any of the NNs.
It sounds prettiest to me in Spanish, but unfortunately, I don't pronounce it that way.
I probably say it...
vik-TOR-ee-uh / vik-TOR-ya
First syllable rhymes with "kick".
Second syllable rhymes with "door".
...which looks a mix of the English and German pronunciations?
It sounds a bit tired to me in the US but not extremely so (it was never 10 top at least), and it has a statuesque quality that makes it a nice grounding middle name.
Today I'd go with something like...
Vashti Victoria
Astraea Victoria
Ulyssa Victoria
Noemi Victoria
Yarrow Victoria
Victoria Raphaëlle
Victoria Rafaela
Victoria Télumée
Victoria Lucinda
Victoria Nimue
