I can see the appeal of the nickname, but I always think that sort of nickname should be something that happens spontaneously, rather than being though out in advance.

The only Victoria I know goes by Vicky, and that's my favorite nickname for it as well.

Tori or Vikki. Plum might be an adorable nickname for a little girl.

Yes, I think Victoria is a very elegant and beautiful name.

It's kind of a stretch as a nn, and seems like it's showing off and making a weak inside joke.
Plum is kind of dumb anyway. Plum crazy.

---

I never cared much for Victoria, it's cold and trying to be fancy but isn't.
I do like Vicki on its own.

It is cute, though I'm sure it would probably end up being a family nn more than one she goes by in public. I personally like Vicky as a nn along with Tori.

I actually don't hate Plum as a name in its own right, stone me now. I don't think it makes sense as a nickname for Victoria.

I like Victoria too much to mess with it and use Plum as a nn.

I know a Chinese woman who went through a phase of asking everyone to call her Plum instead of her very pretty Chinese name, which has something to do with fruit or forests or something ... but it never caught on.

I would use Vickie if anything, because of a very good friend whose parents reasoned that they would always and only call her Vickie so they might as well make it official.

I've heard Vika (vee-ka) used for a kid and thought it was cute...her mom was Russian.
But I don't really like any of the NNs, at least not enough to want to be called them (it's my name).
I like the idea of Victoria more as a MN.

Victoria "Plum" seems random, individual, fruity, colorful, a little mischievous...more fun than the alternatives except maybe Toya or Vix.

Plum is so far down in top associations with Victoria it might as well be a nickname for just any random name if you think it sounds cute, which I don't

I don’t really like Victoria. I didn’t know the Victoria plum association so many people may think it’s unrelated. Overall as a nickname I think Plum is fine but can’t imagine it past childhood.

I dislike Victoria, but I think Plum is an adorable nickname for it.

Victoria is nice, nn Tori or Vicky, dont like Plum at all
