It seems many will disagree, but I think this is a really hot name for a boy, as a nickname for Valentine. It’s the same vibe as Vince, Van & Vinnie. (Although of course I do think it’s great for a girl too).
Val is such a hot name for your child. All the Vals I met are sooooooooooooooo cute and sooo smart everyone likes VAL. She is hot, beautiful and smart. PLEASEEEEEEE name your child VAL.
