In Dan Brown's novel "Angels and Demons", the heroine's name is Vittoria Vetra. I think it's a lovely name.

I've always loved the name Victoria, but I can't help feeling it sounds, well, quite choppy and staccato. But swap the c for a t et voilĂ , Vittoria! I think Vittoria sounds very beautiful and lyrical. Do I prefer it or Victoria? I'm not sure. Victoria has been a favourite of mine for years, because it reminds me of the sophistication of the Victorian age and Victorian fashions. But per se, I prefer the sound of Vittoria, and if it were an aesthetic choice, I would pick this Italian form.
