I think Victor is a beautiful name graced with strength and class. It is elegant and sophisticated, and it has a powerful meaning. It ages flawlessly. I also like “Viktor” and “Victoria” as well. Overall, I think Victor is a wonderful name.
I used to think this name was very boring, but it’s a very classical name and has a long history so I think this name is neat. I also like how the spelling is the same for other languages.
A personal association with this name has made things difficult for me. But that doesn’t mean the name is bad. In fact, it sounds very noble and has a strong meaning! In fact it sounds like a good name for a protagonist’s rival in a story. Protagonist probably named Martin.
I like Victor as the meaning for this name is defined by victory. In my humble opinion, this name has a timeless, elegant and charming feel to it that readily predisposes my inclination towards appreciating it. Overall a good name.

Never really cared for this name, but I've met lots of Victors of all different ages so it's quite timeless which I think is cool.
My name is Victor. I am a 20yr old male, I’m not the most intelligent but that’s ok. My mom said she named me Victor because I conquered my birth. My parents were drug addicts before and a little while after having me. They said I went through withdrawal pretty badly, but here I am today. Victorious! My parents are victorious too! They quit doing drugs about 5 or so months after having me.
I highly enjoy this name! I think it is very simple but in a good way. Maybe strange to some people but Victor Frankenstein is actually part of the reason why I really enjoy this name. :).
The best way that I can describe this name is that I feel it perfectly toes the line of traditionally masculine and sophisticated. It's "elegant" but also "manly" is what my personal impression has always been. A good, solid, classical choice for any would-be parents.

I really like this name! It has a nice meaning, and it's a pretty handsome name. Vic is a good nickname.
I tend to like names based on what they sound like and what they remind me of more than their actual meaning. Victor reminds me of the word nectar, so I think of summer fruit and I think of it as a nature name. I don’t like the actual meaning because it reminds me of war and conquering, and that is not a positive association for me.
I love, love, LOOOOVE the name Victor. It's totally a one-size-fits-all kind of name. I find it easy to picture the name Victor suiting a boy of any age and personality type, whether it'd be a spunky little boy, a bookish yet alluring young man, or the witty grandpa who tells the best stories to his grandchildren. I also like how distinguished it sounds; it commands respect. Victor is definitely one of my top choices when it comes to baby names, and I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up having a little Victor myself.
My name is Victor and I already retired. From my perspective it's lucky name. At first it's very global, spread over all continents. It is very recognizable in almost any country of the world, and it is easy to memorize. The Hebrew variant for this name is Avigdor. Besides, it is not a very common name: usually you are the only one Victor in a party, or in a company building. So when someone has to mention you, no need to call your family name.
Victor, a name that sounds rather timeless, at least from my perspective, and could be the name of an infant all the way to an elderly gentleman. I think it is a classic name that might be just the one you are looking for if you want something that is short and easily pronounceable.

This name gives off a very Tim Burton-esque vibe. I love it!
My elder son is Victor and he is intelligent indeed. I could not name the second son Victor too, so I opted for a "V" name and Vallerian becomes my baby boy. Now guess what mum names herself... Anne Victor Vallerian. Ideally Victor is a name.
This is always a name that people give those evil doctors in movies and TV shows.

In my opinion Victor is a handsome and rugged name. I also love the sound of it and love the nicknames such as Vic or V and the full name sounds strong too.

I like this name, especially pronounced with a British accent. Slightly pronouncing the -r.
Does anyone think that it is tedious to say it means "Victor", they should say, from the Latin word Victor... Anyway, I like the name and I think the cognate Viktor is a little better spelling.
Hello! I currently am pregnant. I've chosen to name my baby Victor if I have a boy! The reason I love this name so much starts with my grandfather Victor Dorwin. He fought at D-Day in WWII and survived. He was a medic. He was shot and still saved as many of his men as he could. He received 2 Purple Hearts. Most humble man I ever knew. He took me fishing as a child, most patient man & he had 6 kids. 2 sets of boy girl twins. Yes, he is my Hero! An amazing husband.. father & grandpa. I miss him. He is VICTORY. In all aspects in my life! This name means honor & dedication. I believe one man can make this name amazing & my grandpa did. :) Peace.
I think the name Victor is handsome, respectable, smart-sounding and HOT! (^^)b.

This would make a jewel of a middle name, but still I can't shake the image of a nerd when I hear this name. Might be because in the awesome movie Despicable Me, the nerdy villain character had the name Victor, but then he did change it to Vector (Committing crimes with both direction and magnitude! Oh yeah!)
Huckery, bulky and mothballed. At least that's how it comes across to me.

I don't know why I like the name Victor, but I do. Victor sounds refined and sophisticated, but also down to earth and rugged at the same time.

I know it may be weird but my great grandmother was named Victor-Mae (seriously). She was named after her father (Victor). I personally think it was kind of a cute name. You know it's just different. But everyone says she didn't like it much though. =/
