va-LEER-ee-an, according to BtN
But I tend to pronounce it va-LER-ee-an. Another possibility could be VAL-u-ree-an.

I really like it, it's a very handsome name :-)
I love it!
I want to add
That I wouldn't be afraid to use it either.

Though I doubt it would go well down in USA. I have a feeling a boy must be very macho and have a very dull and common name, otherwise he'll get teased.
Probably people would say it is "sissy" b/c it is close to Flora.

I love it; it sounds noble, and whoever bears that name seems like he ought to be an independent, intelligent, man.
I'm assuming for a boy? It is OK but I do not know if a boy would really like it. It sounds kind of feminine to me. What would be a nn for it? Boys seem to like to give each other nicknames and Flo or Florrie would not fly well on a boy!!! Just might want to think about that before actually using it on a baby boy. For a grown man with a lot of self confidence it would be nice though. Or a character in a book maybe.
Well...
I'm not having anymore children, so it would only be for a script character or something. Not a real person. :)
