Ive only ever met one Valentine and he was a Criminal!

I vote Jasper.

dontforgetme · 27/04/2025 10:55

Malachi is gorgeous.

LlynTegid · 27/04/2025 10:56

Jasper. Malachi is the only other one I would consider.

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 27/04/2025 10:57

Valentine is a great name

BunnyRuddington · 27/04/2025 10:58

Isn’t it funny how people can put of off names?

ive met 2 Malachis and bother were a little deranged..

mugglewump · 27/04/2025 10:59

Jasper would be my preference. I would not want a boy called Val or Valey (which is what would happen), I have met too many poorly behaved Malachis to choose this and Cosmos have hippy parents with undiagnosed ADHD. Artis is just crying out for a t on the end.

HugoYorway · 27/04/2025 12:04

Jasper - yes
Malachi - will be Mal. no
Kosmo / Cosmo - Cosmo -Yes, Kosmo - No
Artis - Ars Gratis Artis - no
Valentine - no

Cosmo and Jasper are OK.

Malachi and Jasper.

Have you thought of Malcolm?

hideawayforever · 27/04/2025 13:25

Malachi

Ikeameatballs · 27/04/2025 13:33

Malachi or Jasper

SpeedyBulletTrain · 27/04/2025 14:09

Cosmo is my favourite, followed by Jasper.

HugoYorway · 27/04/2025 14:11

Me too, @SpeedyBulletTrain .

Pemba · 28/04/2025 19:18

Malachi. Don't know why Jasper has become so popular lately - used to be either a wasp or a pantomime villain.

Valentine and Cosmo are a bit OTT. Never heard of Artis so I can't really comment.

nobodywantsit · 28/04/2025 19:21

Jasper is my favourite but yes, in some areas it means wasp.
Cosmo is ok but definitely not Kosmo.

OoLaOoLa · 28/04/2025 19:23

Malachi

LeavesTrees · 28/04/2025 19:33

If I’m completely honest, I don’t hugely like any of them. If it has to be from that list then Jasper or Malachi, but Jasper is a dogs name to me (I know several) and Malachi is very popular where I live in the way that Jayden was for a while.

Hopeful6584 · 28/04/2025 19:42

Jasper is borderline acceptable. The other 4 are atrocious and I can’t believe anyone would consider them.

Fartughtyred · 28/04/2025 19:51

Valentine! Here's a good example....Smile

Malachi

CarpetKnees · 28/04/2025 22:20

Jasper and Malachi are the 'least bad'.

DustlandFairytaleBeginning · 28/04/2025 22:54

Malachi... has a lovely sound to it.

Eenameenadeeka · 29/04/2025 08:20

Malachi

Reddelilah · 29/04/2025 11:37

I don’t like the Mal in Malachi. It sounds ‘bad’, being the Latin for evil/bad. Reminds me of malevolent or malicious.

Valentine is lovely

HugoYorway · 29/04/2025 12:54

@Reddelilah , Malachi is a Hebrew name.

WaltzingWaters · 29/04/2025 12:55

Jasper
