[Opinions] Re: Victoria
It's usable, of course. If it's too anything, it's too 1980s-90s fad. It was pretty popular even in the 70s ... I grew up with a bazillion Vickis around my age (I was born 1971), it seems. But it's a good name, still timeless, "strong," feminine, and no particular statement about it.- mirfak

I have a Victoria, it has served her well over the past decade with very little issue at all. It's a classic name, not trendy, and therefore not as likely to get butchered by those 'uneek' parents and misspelt in a million different ways. It's common enough that everyone knows it, but not popular enough that every second girl born is called it.I too really dislike the nickname Vicki and have done everything I can to prevent it popping it's ugly head up in our lives, but every now and then people slip it in. Not enough of a reason to stop me using it though.
