HelpRe: Valentin
in reply to a message by Natla'd
I love Valentin and in Sweden it would be ok (there are 388 men/boys named Valentin) in Sweden. But then St Valentine's Day is called "All Hearts' Day" here.
The nn we use for Valentin are Valle (Vahl-eh) and Tin-Tin.
I would prefer Valentin Fletcher, b/c I don't like ln-as-fn (ln-as-mn are ok). But if you think a Valentin would be teased, then Fletcher Valentin would be safer.
Another similar name in Sweden is Valdemar (Scandinavian form of Vladimar) but this would probably sound weird in England. WDYF of Valerius and Valerian?

I learned my lesson well.
You see you can’t please everyone
So you got to please yourself."
