Victoria and Tabitha are both lovely, sophisticated-sounding names.
I like Tori and Toria as nicknames for Victoria.
Tib would be cute as a nickname for Tabitha. There's also Bith, which I like, but it's unfortunately close to a 5-letter insult.
Victoria Wren is my favorite. Wren is simple, yet underused. It evokes images of a countryside manor surrounded by a moor with chirping birds flying and hopping about. It's a peaceful name.

Victoria really grew on me the past few months. I think it's really nice and strikes a good balance- it's familiar, but I don't meet very many. I generally dislike the nicknames for it, and that's what holds me back from falling totally in love with it. I suppose Tori is okay, but none of the others.
I love Tabitha. I think it's quirky without being too over-the-top, and I've never met one. Again, nicknames are an issue for me with this name. I don't care for Tibby and Tabby. Someone once suggested Beth to me, and I suppose it could work at a stretch. Even Tab/s would be preferable to Tabby.
ETA: Someone below suggested Abi, which I really like!
Wow, Victoria matches really well with a lot of names, doesn't it? All of your combos are pretty nice.
Favorite: Victoria May. I almost went with Victoria June, because I adore June, but I think May gives the combo a lightness you don't get with June. Victoria isn't really a "heavy" name, but it sounds mature and stately, so May freshens it up.
Least favorite: Victoria Rosalie. It's just too many syllables and a bit too frilly.

I like Tabitha a lot! Victoria's ok. Vika's a different nickname for her I never considered. Tori is cute, and I like the idea of a Victoria going by Victor I must say.
Tabitha nicknames... what about Bitsy? That's more of a pet name I guess. Bitha? uhhh.
I like Victoria Faye. It just appeals to my eye, got a nice sense of balance to it or something, and helps me not get bored with Victoria, which I feel an aversion to because it's like it's supposed to be this irreproachably beautiful name that I have to admire and respect and I don't wanna. You can't tell me how to feel, Victoria!
Victoria Susan is nice too, I like how humble Susan is, it makes the combo look human.

I've never liked Victoria nor any of its nicknames. It's just such a cold name. If I felt like I had to use Victoria for some reason, I'd opt for Vittoria instead, and I'd use Vita as an occasional nickname. I feel like Vittoria has more warmth and spirit than Victoria.
Most favorite: Victoria Faye. Faye softens Victoria some. I like Victoria June for the same reason.
Least favorite: Victoria Hazel. Cold Victoria emphasizes the dreary "haze" in Hazel.
Love Tabitha. I like Tab(s) and Tib(s), but if you're looking for nicknames farther afield, there's Abi, Beth (I think it could work), and Bitsy, which is good kitschy fun.

I like Victoria, but I don't really like Tabitha. For Victoria, I like Vika the best, then Tori. I wouldn't really use any other nick names. And for Tabitha... I don't really know. Just Tabitha, I suppose. Or as someone said earlier, Abby. That's nice.
I really like Victoria Rosalie. It's really pretty and elegant. My least favorite is probably Victoria Holly. I don't know why. I guess Holly just doesn't go well with Victoria. They're too different from each other.

I strongly dislike Victoria and always have. I dislike the uppity-royal-type feel of it. Vika is a neat nickname for it thought. And Tori is fine too. Both are better than Vicky, if only because they are a bit more creative.
Of your Victoria combos, Victoria Hazel caught my attention. It's unexpected, which I like. Victoria May would be an easy favourite too, as I love May (especially Mae) in the middle. My least favourite would be Victoria Rosalie. It just sounds too long and frilly.
Tabitha, Tabitha, Tabitha. I love it! Why on earth would you need a nickname besids Tibby. Tibby is glorious!! But since you asked: Taba? Tiba? T? Bitsy?
Using your middle names from Victoria, what about Tabitha June? If you're into letter nicknames, this also provides TJ as an option.

As you know I love Victoria and Tabitha has always been one of my faves as well. Unfortunately I have a cousin named Tabitha so I can't use it. I do not like the NN Vika or Vicki but Tori is ok. Both of my kids have NN unrelated to their names so if I used Victoria I would probably pick a NN that was unrelated to it as well. As far as your combos go...
Victoria May - I prefer the Mae spelling but I love this combo
Victoria Hazel - I don't really care for Hazel at all
Victoria Holly - prefer Holly as a first name
Victoria Faye - I prefer this spelling and it is a family name for me
Victoria June - I don't care for June
Victoria Wren - I really like this combo
Victoria Rosalie - very pretty
Victoria Claire - see above
Victoria Susan - I don't care for Susan but think that Victoria Suzanne would be nice
BTW I have heard Abi as a NN for Tabitha in fact my dad has always called my cousin Abi-Tae.
