If my kid was a boy, he was going to be Piers. I love that name- it's Scandanavian for Peter, which means Stone. Of course, J.K. had to create a weasel of a character named Piers Polkiss, so now I'm glad I had a girl. (Not that I wasn' already). Tori is derived from Victoria, which is my eldest sister's name, and I always knew if I had a girl I would name her after Vicki. She practically raised us kids while our parents were off having fun in the Sixties, and it's the least any of us could do. I had a slight problem though- I knew a Vickie Anderson, and I
despised her. A co-worker of mine suggested Victoria, with Tori for short, and I went with that. Now everyone thinks I named her after Tori Spelling.
