Blog #4


Victoria Sidorczuk. Vic-tori-ah Sid-door-chuck, yes that’s my name, please don’t say, or spell it wrong. All my life people have always said and spelt my name wrong. Yes, some people cannot spell Victoria. Several times throughout school, I’ve had to get certificates and banners re written because my last name was spelt wrong. My last name is a Polish name, and although it’s a little different, it is one of the easier names to spell, and pronounce. I find it very ignorant of people when they just decide to shorten my name to Viccki. Vikki, Vicky, Vicki, you name it, but it’s all pronounced the same. Besides my hate for the name Viccki, I do allow certain, close friends to call me Viccki, I don’t always enjoy it, but I will respond if you call me by Viccki. Do I like my name? Yes of course, I love my name, Victoria sounds so royal, and formal, and Sidorczuk is Different, and shows my background, and where I’m from. I don’t think I have ever dreamed of having a simple name, like Sally or Molly, but I have dreamed of my last name changing when I get married. Hopefully my future husband and I can work something out, because I want to keep the Sidorczuk name strong.
