Re: Victoria (small survey)
in reply to a message by Chrysanthemum
What are your thoughts on this name- very pretty, a little bit icyily haughty, but clasically beautiful. There is a delectible tartness about it, like a fresh nectarine.
Would you consider using it for your own daughter? - No, I'm not overly fond of any of the nicknames that it has. Maybe as a middle name, if I had a Victoria to honour.
What's your favorite nickname for it? Or do you prefer it without a nickname?
- Prefer it without
Thoughts on these combos:
Victoria Rose - lovely but unimaginative
Victoria June - smooth and soft, June relaxes Vicky's starch with her homespun cottony warmth.
Victoria Catherine - very polished and unapproachable
Victoria Lily - semms arbitrarily paired
Victoria Jane - nicely balanced; simple Jane tempers Victoria's slight snootiness
Victoria Frances - Good match, no-nonsense Frances calms frilly Victoria nicely
Willow Victoria - very stately without being aloof; Willow's touch of hippie whimsy sits comfortably next to gussied-up Vic.
Laurel Victoria - so perfect and collectedly calm as to be a marble statue; rather bland
Isobel Victoria - Too icy for me; a real Princess in the purple. Perfect manners and no personality.
