Yeah, I do remember Vicky being an evil stepmother character in Parent Trap, and media is part of it. But considering Jessica, Veronica, Nicole get mentioned a lot, I do think people are partially reacting to the ICK sound; also I notice some people think V names are spiky/severe/cold sounding in general. It's implicitly competitive, similar to Victor. People associate primness, imperialism, and moralizing with Victorians. And my mom did use Victoria because it was a queen's name (seems kind of pretentious, if we're gonna call names pretentious).

So...I can see it, just don't relate.
