Victoria is a lovely, classic name but bear in mind that thanks to the lingerie business, it's taken on a popular connotation of sexiness. (Maybe you like that, maybe you don't.)

Victoria is beautiful (have one myself, but we call her Tori b/c Vicky is nmsaa). My Victoria is vivacious, w/curly red hair & brown eyes. I imagine all Victorias to be engaging in personality and classically beautiful.Johann is a great name, but I don't understand how you get Jack out of it. Then again, I've never understood why Jack is a nn for John or Hal is a nn for Harry. :-) Small mind, I guess.

I like Victoria, but I hate the nickname Vicky. I have a friend named Victoria whom I call Toria.Johann is nice, and I personally haven't heard it much lately. However I've never understood why people choose the nickname Jack for John, and I understand it even less for Johann.
