HelpRe: Victoria or Diana?
in reply to a message by soon-to-be-mom
Victoria and Diana are both beautiful and classy names.
I would go for the less popular Diana. I don't get this nn thing, why *must* everyone have a nn? Why choose a beautiful name and then hide it behind a nn for the rest of her life? Though there are nn options for Diana too: Di, Ana or Anni
If I had a Victoria, I might use Ria as an occasional nn.
BTW, I love Theodore.

Ah -- I agree -- I guess I didn't make it clear that what was important for me and DH was that we wanted a name where we liked the potential nns, in case we or others ended up using them! I do agree that the names are most beautiful on their own.
