Victor

1. A male given name.
   • 1988 Graham Greene, The Captain and the Enemy, Penguin Classics (1999), ISBN 014018855X, page 53-54:

     'Well, it's you mother who chose Victor. I never liked the name. It sounded a bit like boasting. I think it was because you were born on May something or other when we celebrate the day Germans surrendered.' 'I wasn't. I was born in September.' 'Oh, then there must have been another reason. Perhaps she thought to have you at all was her victory. Over me. I wasn't so keen on a child.'
