Re: Torrie/Tori
in reply to a message by queenv
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.

Funny thing is, I am far from a controlling parent in general. I was raised by lenient parents, and I just naturally continued that parenting style when I had children. I guess maybe it was controlling to object to the spelling of the name, but if so, it was definitely an exception to my usual parenting methods.
Yeah, Torrie does prefer Torrie now that she is an adult. The Torie thing was pretty much relegated to her teen years.
