Valentine to me is icky-boo-boo sweet. I picture a femmy little cartoon boy with long golden ringlets and big round eyes and ruffles on his clothes and shoes that turn up with little bells at the toes. It's an effeminate name but not a feminine one, if that makes any sense. Valentina is kind of exotic and has some substance to it, but even it has a flashy, theatrical feeling to it that keeps me from truly liking it.
