Help[Opinions] Re: Victoria
in reply to a message by darrengregory
Heaven's sake, of course it's usable. It's been hovering in the 20s on the popularity list for years now and it reached the teens in the 90s. Last year, over seven thousand baby girls born in the US were named Victoria.
Anyway, yes, it's regal, but that's a plus rather than a minus. It isn't too regal, just regal enough. Yes, it was the name of a British queen, which is one thing that makes it regal, but it's been too popular in the US for too many years now to be seen as quintessentially British or anything like that. In addition to being regal, it's elegant, refined, sophisticated, beautiful sounding and looks beautiful written. It's highly feminine, yet strong, which is a hard combination to find in a name.
As you can probably tell, I think Victoria is the most perfect female name there is, which is why I named my daughter Victoria. Its only minus at this point is its popularity, which wasn't a factor when I used it, but at least it's never reached the top ten.
