Victoria is predominantly a female name in the United States, reaching peak popularity in the 1980s. There are approximately 460,000 people named Victoria in the US today.
The name Victoria's root letters are VK.
Because the letter V is the icon of virility and vitality and the K (or hard C sound) is the symbol of forceful action we find in king, kill, kick, Kaiser, kidnap, and knock, when these two letters are combined in a word the result is the dynamism found in the words Viking, viscount, victory, and Valkyries (the battlefield maidens of Norse mythology). Typically, we find a strong contradiction embedded in the personalities of those who bear the VK names – their personalities are alternately alluring and slightly dangerous -- depending on the mood of the moment. Those who choose to end their names with the feminizing, high-pitched Y, I, or IE, (Vicki, Vicky) are signaling themselves to be somewhat more playful versions of the otherwise uncompromising VK names; creating a bit of uncertainty as to the Vicky’s true motives.
It could be said that the Victorias have a simplistic view of the universe reminiscent of the fierce idealism of middle adolescence. Victorias are the champions of right; the first to point out shortcomings in others but also the first to give support when it’s needed. They seem born with the ability to manipulate their environments, a trait which stands them in good stead in their personal lives, but doesn’t win them many allies in competitive workplaces.
Although they’re forceful at times, Victorias also have a strangely powerful magnetic appeal -- their playful sensuality and stunning smiles could disarm the NRA. But Victorias aren’t about to rely only on their charms for resources. Their recipe for success calls for finding other people’s buttons and pushing them until they get what they want. Victorias have the advantage here. Their control is subtle and their playful behavior distracts people while they're being outmaneuvered. Still, most of the time when a VK is beingcharming and friendly… it’s no act. They have big hearts and even bigger hopes for you. In any event, it’s not all bad if you find yourself succumbing to the Victorias’ will; they’re quite generous in rewarding those who toe their line.
Marriage to a VK will be a treat for anyone who craves unconditional love and doesn’t mind adhering to someone else’s ideals. But make no mistake; if Victorias believe that their partners aren’t as committed as they are, they’ll be out of there faster than a Taliban in Texas. But when their mates are dedicated to common ideals, Victorias will do everything in their power to create a stable and loving environment in which both can reach their full potential.
