HelpOh my goodness
in reply to a message by queenv
I'm sorry to say this but I would never ever wanted to be your daughter. Such a fuss just because of spelling of one stupid nickname? I don't even want to imagine what you'd do if your daughter decided to go by Vicky. LOL. I appreciate my parents even more now.
And btw I've got a parrot named Tori but it's not a nn from Victoria, Tori means "bird" in Japanese. Torrie just looks made-up to me.

Actually, I would have much less of a problem if she did decide to go by Vicky, than to use the spelling Tori. I did not hate Vicky, I just preferred Torrie. And I have always been the one to say that if you despise a certain nickname, then you should not use the full name, because despite your desires, your child might end up being called by that nickname. So Vicky would not have bothered me so much.
The problem with Tori is that I did not even realize that that spelling existed when I used the name Victoria. I thought everyone spelled it Torrie. When my in-laws started using Tori, I thought they were being stupid and ignorant. Then I started seeing Tori everywhere! I dont know, I just think naming a child is one of the priveleges of parenthood, and I did not want to cringe every time I saw my daughters name spelled out.
Dang apostrophe key.

LOL
I... sort of agree. It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to have a mom who wanted to control my nickname, but I do think you were a bit out of line.
I think Tori makes more sense, but there's nothing wrong or counterintuitive about Torrie - I don't think it's "kr8v" or whatever spelling us hipsters are using at all, or even bordering on it. And the pronunciation problem is not there for Americans at all, so.
One of the reasons I never shortlisted Victoria is because I dislike both Vicky and Tori :( I do think it's possible to go without a nickname though, our Bernadette seems to.
