HelpWDYTO my full name and nickname?
Be honest now: what do you think of my full name as it appears on my birth certificate? It is:
Victoria Lisa Hildegard Bettina [last name].
Victoria is my very own individual name. Lisa is my first grandmother's name and Hildegard my second grandmother's name. Bettina is the name of the younger one of my two aunts (my twinsister has got the other aunt's fn Patricia as a mn).
Oh, and my nickname (for Victoria) happens to be Toia (TOH-ee-ah or possibly TOH-yah) since I really HATE any kind of Vici, Vicky, Vyckie or however it might be written as a nickname for Victoria.
So, what do you think?
Cheers,

I like your name! I like how your parents named you after your relatives! However, I don't like any nn for the name Victoria. I prefer just Victoria.

Of course I also have nothing against people calling me by my full name Victoria and not by my nickname. But usually at least my family members only call me by the full name when they're angry with me or when they want me to do something for them, otherwise they all call me Toia. :-)

The first two names fit well together and Victoria is a pretty, versatile, and timeless name. The other two just look thrown in there and Lisa next to Hildegard is quite the juxtoposition.
But there are way worse out there. You could have only one very boring middle name like me - Lynn:)
I agree about nn Vicki/Vicky, etc.

Wow! I can honestly say I love your name. I don't care for the names individually nor would I care for them if they had no meaning behind them. But, together, and being that they are the names of your relatives, they are lovely. Also I love nn. Toia. I've never heard that as a nn. for Victoria but it's a nice change from Vicky/Vicki and Tory/Tori. You are lucky to have such an interesting name.

Thank you so much! I feel honored!

Thanks! Good to know I'm not the only one who hates Vicky. It sounds just so bratty and slutty and preppy and ugh! No matter you don't like more of my names. I in fact also don't like all o them. ;-)

I really like your full name.
Victoria is international, royal and classic. Lisa is nice. Both Victoria and Lisa are popular in Sweden too. My dd has friends with these names. I like the very German family name Hildegard as mn. Maybe too much as a fn, but great as mn. Tilda and Tilde are popular in Sweden now, maybe Hilda and Hilde will be too.
I really like the name Bettina too. We know a German girl named Tine.
Toia is ok. Though when I see it, I would assume it was pronounced as Toya. Toria would be nice. I think Tori is the most popular nn in UK/USA now, but in Sweden it is still Vicky or Vickan. My dd's friend is called both Victoria and Vicky. I'm not much into nn myself, I much prefer using the full names.

Nice greetings to Sweden! I once made a fun-test on the internet (topic: What language should you learn?) and it told me that I was most likely to learn Swedish. *lol* I'd really like to!
Anyway, I really like Tilda! I pretty much understand why it's so popular in Sweden. As for my nickname, well of course I could also spell it Toya, but since there is no 'y' in Victoria and I really don't like most of those 'i' to 'y' transformations in names I thought it was better to keep Toia. :-)

Yeah, I also like Tori or Tora. The only problem is that Tori always reminds me of Tori Spelling and Tora always reminds me of Thora Birch. :-/ But Toia is my special and unique nn invented by my twin sister when we were veeeeery young (toddlers so to speak) and that's why I love it. *lol*
My twin sister (I'm not sure whether she'd want me to post this here) is named Ira Gabriele Patricia Hedwig. Ira (pronounced: EE-rah) is her very own unique fn. Gabriele is our mother's name, Patricia is the 2nd aunt and Hedwig (yeah, sadly they called that HP owl) is or better was the name of our mother's grandmother.
Our other two siblings are called Leon Gabriel (little brother) and Esther Laetizia [pronounced: Leh-TEE-SEE-uh] (little sister).
