Valentine or Christian??

[Dreamer82]

Hello, I’m expecting a little boy soon and love both of these names. I was just wondering your thoughts ... Thanks!

I think Christian is safer. Valentine will be more prone to teasing.

Christian.

Valentine is a little too feminine for a boy imo. He would likely be teased/bullied. Go for Christian.

Love them both but Valentine is best

I know it's not even one of your options but how about Vallentino instead of Valentine?

Christian is a fab name. Valentine...too tied to the day imo.

Both are fab! But, as others have said, Valentine maybe open to more teasing. Not sure why someone regarded it as feminine though.... St. Valentine was a man!

Hands down Christian. Beautiful name.

Christian isn't such a good name if it turns out he doesn't want to be one. I suppose he could call himself Chris.

So all girls called Rose or Iris have to like those flowers and Grace's have to be graceful?

I think Christian is fine for a non believer!

I also prefer Christian.

I prefer Valentin to Valentine.

What about Florian, has the same romantic air I think :)

Christian.

Valentine is too romantic. Valentines Day and all that.

I love them both. Would probably choose Christian.

Christian is fine, but will probably be shortened to Chris, but that may not bother you.
I quite like Valentine, but prefer Valentin or Valentino - nn Tino?

I think Valentine would be far too prone to teasing.

And Christian would be a rubbish name to have if you turned out to be an atheist.

I know a couple of Valentines. They seem to survive without being teased!

I agree with Christian, the only child I know with that name comes from a very, err, Christian family.

My neighbor was a male valentine..just called "Val". I like it, but I'd make it Valentino.
Christian is popular and mainstream enough to not be strictly tied to the religion.

Christian, one I knew wasn't religious. Valentine will get teased.

I prefer valentine but absolutely adore kit as a nickname for Christian

Valentino yes

I don't really think about Christianity when I hear the name Christian Bale.

The two are really not linked.

Chris is a rubbish shortening, though.

Don't go for Valentine...

I seem to be in the minority here but love Valentine.

I like Valentine. Reminds me of Valentine Warner.

My name's Christian and I'd say I get asked if I'm a christian about every second time I have to give my full name. After more than 40 years it nevers stops being annoying, especially for a hardcore atheist like me!

So I'd recommend Valentine out of these two.
