Valentine as middle name for boy

There's a chance I might have to have my baby this week, very possibly Valentine's day. Could I use Valentine as a middle name without sounding like a knob

Is it wanky? Will he hate me? I thought it might be nice to mark his birthday, and if it were any other saints days, I use those.

First name James, surname starts with F.

Grin ansolutely not set on it - a very recent development in baby naming idea, I really can't decide whether 'unusal/nice' or 'poor kid'

Umm. It's a lovely idea, but when he hits the teenage years and his friends find out, I can see him cursing you for it... All sorts of Stupid Cupid nicknames spring to mind! If you are set on it, maybe give him two middle names so he can just use one of them in public? Ie, James 'X' Valentine F...

I think it's wanky, sorry.

But, it's not my baby!
