Thoughts on Valentina?

And would you expect a girl called Valentina to be a particular nationality?

Russian was the first nationality that came to my mind - I don't see that as being a problem but I know some Eastern Europeans do.

I had to google RDPR!

We love the name, but baby will be half Czech (funnily enough) and in laws are worried it sounds too Russian. I just wanted to know if anyone would make that connection! Not that it bothers me in the slightest.

I really like Valentina, I probably would expect her to be Italian/Spanish (?) but wouldn't be surprised if they weren't.

I also really like Clementina.

Not anymore I wouldn't, we live in a multicultural society, where anything goes. Valentina is a very pretty name, I don't like Val, but do like Leni or Tina, as nick names.

RPDR fan?

I love the name Smile

Oh that’s true actually, her father was Italian!

MyKingdomForBrie · 26/02/2018 18:13

I love it. The only one I’ve known was Czech.

Love it!
I wouldn't be surprised if she was Italian, but I don't think you have to be. Go for it!
