Vicki Cobb: Hello. My name is Vicki Cobb. And Vicki is my real name, not Victoria. When I was born, there was a big fuss because I was the first girl born after seven boys. I was named for my grandmother, whose name began with a V. My father wanted me to be Valerie, but my mother thought that name was way too fancy, so I became Vicki. V-I-C-K-I, and you wouldn't believe how many different ways that simple name can be spelled.
