HelpRe: What's in a name or what's in your name?
in reply to a message by Barbra
My sister and I both have V names, because my mother perceives feminine names beginning with V as strong sounding. I think she also liked that Victoria has an association with royalty. When I was born it was ranked #44, so it was popular without being extremely common.
She's also really into using family names. Originally, she wanted my middle name to be Loren after my dad's grandfather, but he objected to a girl being named after him. So, instead, my middle name is Noel, after my mom's grandfather.
My nn is Tory. Supposedly they chose that spelling because it looked "more geometrically correct".
My dad wanted to name me Katherine. I'm not sure why; he probably just liked the sound.
(In general: sound, appearance, meaning, origin, history of usage, and any other personal associations I have with a name all affect my opinion of it.)
