Valentine for a boy

First off, no he wouldn't be born in February, more like July. I just want to see your opinions on the name. Maybe some nicknames you'd use for a little boy called Valentine. We're thinking Tino or Vali so far. Thanks.

Sorry I think it's a burden of a name and he'll be sick to the back teeth of Valentine's day references when he's older.

The obvious shortened version which I would expect his friends to use is Val.

Personally not keen. Too closely linked with Valentine's day, romance etc.

I'm a fan of unusual names but I think this ones just asking for trouble.

Lee Stafford and his wife have just called their youngest valentine I think its quite nice but prepare yourself for Valentines day jokes in the future

It's not something I would chose. I know a little boy called Valentino who has the nickname Tino but not sure I would go for Tino with Valentine?

I think it’s lovely!
Different but not crazy different....
