Re: Valentine (m) and Valentina
in reply to a message by Azula
My great grandpa was named Valerijonas. He almost exclusively went by Val, so I love pretty much any Val- name.
Valentine is a sweet name for either gender, but you're right that it is strongly associated with the holiday. I would probably assume the parents were European if they used it. That being said, I would still love to see it used more. I think it'd be cute.
I love Valentina too. I don't think Tina is inevitable. Every Valentina I've known has gone by Val.
Valerian, Valerie, Valeria, Valencia, and Valeska are other options.
