I've never liked
Victoria nor any of its nicknames. It's just such a cold name. If I felt like I had to use
Victoria for some reason, I'd opt for
Vittoria instead, and I'd use
Vita as an occasional nickname. I feel like
Vittoria has more warmth and spirit than
Victoria.
Most favorite:
Victoria Faye.
Faye softens
Victoria some. I like
Victoria June for the same reason.
Least favorite:
Victoria Hazel. Cold
Victoria emphasizes the dreary "haze" in
Hazel.
Love Tabitha. I like Tab(s) and Tib(s), but if you're looking for nicknames farther afield, there's
Abi,
Beth (I think it could work), and Bitsy, which is good kitschy fun.
