It's her name, she likes Tori, it's spelled Tori. That's all I see to it. You shouldn't be telling a kid how to spell her nickname, for goodness sake. It's a nickname. The spelling could change every day and it wouldn't matter. (Granted, I am finicky about the spelling of some nicknames, like Kate, but if I ever have a daughter who wants to be Cayt, it's her choice to look like a character from Mists of Avalon.) Course, you said that she liked it when she was twelve, so that doesn't really apply now, unless she's still into Tori over Torrie. But honestly...compromising on how she spells her own nickname? That's very controlling.
To answer the question, I prefer Tori because it's neater looking (Torrie looks messy) and don't like the nickname at all. I love Victoria, though.
