I really dislike Tanner. As far as occupational names go it lacks appeal. I think of horrid smelling tanning chemicals and about my early years spent in a chemical plume affected area from an industrial tanning facility and all the children with cancer likely from the affected water. I recognize that's some pretty extreme negative associations.

On a better note it does also remind me of Full House, and I knew a really sweet kid named Tanner who would be about 16 now.

Carmelo is strongly associated with Carmelo Anthony for me, but I grew up next to Duke where he played. It's a little too reminiscent of candy for me.

Valentino is okay. I lean more towards Valentin for names in that family.
