Valentina?

[SpanielV]

Our baby girl is 8 days old now and we are still undecided on her name! DH is Italian and we have a long Italian surname, DS1 has an Italian first name so ideally we wanted DD to have an Italian name too, but short Italian girls names seem to be in short supply!

We are 80% there with Valentina Rose but just not sure if Valentina is just too OTT for a first name in the UK? V/ Vallie/ Varley for a nickname.

Our other options are Rose Valentina or I like Vivienne Rose, or Viviana but DH isn’t sure.

Any feedback/ suggestions would be welcome!

Valentina is beautiful!

And I also love Rose - it gets a hard time on here but it's classic and pretty.

I also don't like shortened versions of the name though

I love it. Coincidentally I met a little Valentina today. She’s 2 and her parents call her Val. They are thinking of Vivienne for their next baby so they’ll have Val and Viv. Gorgeous
