Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, also called Victoire, was the mother of Queen Victoria I of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
I personally LOVE this name. It hit me as soon as I heard it. Yes, there may be pronunciation problems, but if a name is beautiful and unheard of, there is a 99% chance at least one person will get it wrong. Victoire is an important and elegant name, and I love it!
This is my French name in French class! I think it's great! I loved it since I first heard it Harry Potter. Everyone else in my class went with names like Sophie or Dominique, but I'm the Victoire! I certainly feel unique!
Victoire is the name of a Weasley cousin in the epilogue of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. She is the daughter of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour.
While she wasn't particularly famous, one of Marie Antoinette's aunts was named Victoire. She wasn't her blood related aunt, she was related by marriage when Marie Antoinette married Louis Auguste and moved to the palace of Versailles.
