Valentine

[milkmilkeverywhere]

For a boy, yay or nay? I love it!

I love it. This was my boys name but we had a girl

I like it. Dawn O’Porter used it for one of her sons.

Love it- I wanted it, DH didn’t. We didn’t use it in the end 😢

I just think he’d get a kicking.

I absolutely love it, I have a very lovely (gorgeous looking) neighbour called Valentine

Ooh I kinda love it actually!

I like it but I think it'd take a very good looking teenage boy and adult to pull off Valentine

I love it.

I had Valentina on my girls list, and love Valentine/ Valentino for boys.

I love it - I think it's very cool

No. My dad was nearly called Valentine. He is so relieved and grateful that he was not.

I'm not sure about this one. I think it's a hard one to pull off.

I absolutely love it and it’s a family name as well… but didn’t use it alas.

I really don't like it.

Ask your dh to go about introducing himself as Valentine to people for a month or two and then see what he thinks about having to "wear" the name.

my daughter has this for her middle name

I love it because it reminds me of Billy Zane in Memphis Belle.

Valentina was front runner on our girls list for DS2. To be fair, he could totally pull off Valentine as a boys name.

Ooh generally positive! I do think this generation of boys has more scope than previous ones. There's more of a range now. I think it's so dashing

I love Valentina for a girl, but don’t love Valentine as much. I really dislike the nickname Val for a boy or girl though, so wouldn’t use it due to that.

Well it kinda depends..

If you had a crystal ball and knew he was going to grow up to be a willowy pre-Raphaelite-esq arty sort with breathtaking good looks then I would say go for it -
Super cool...

However if you get a 16 stone mono syllabic brick layer or rugby full back then I think he will divorce you.. or change it when he's 12 ...

Nay. He won't thank you.

How about Valentin instead?

No to my taste

Absolutely not. Don't do that to your child
