Actually, I would have much less of a problem if she did decide to go by Vicky, than to use the spelling Tori. I did not hate Vicky, I just preferred Torrie. And I have always been the one to say that if you despise a certain nickname, then you should not use the full name, because despite your desires, your child might end up being called by that nickname. So Vicky would not have bothered me so much.
The problem with Tori is that I did not even realize that that spelling existed when I used the name Victoria. I thought everyone spelled it Torrie. When my in-laws started using Tori, I thought they were being stupid and ignorant. Then I started seeing Tori everywhere! I dont know, I just think naming a child is one of the priveleges of parenthood, and I did not want to cringe every time I saw my daughters name spelled out.
