[Opinions] How do you pronounce...?

From previous posts here I've noticed that some posters pronounce these names differently that what I've heard, so I'd just like a quick check up:-)
So, how do you say Valentine, Valentin and Valentina?

For me Valentine is with '-tay-ne' and the others are with '-teen' and '-teenah' respectively.

vah:-len-TEE-nah:

Valentine would be vah:-len-TEEN, Valentin would be vah:-len-TIN

Valentine is VAL-en-tine (last syllable rhymes with the word "line"). Valentin is VAL-en-tin or VAL-en-teen, and Valentina is val-en-TEE-nah.

To say Valentina, it's Val-an-te-na. Pronounced different from the spelling.

I love the name Valentina!!

I pronounce it val-en-TINA.

I pronounce Valentine and Valentin the same way.

val-en-TINE, as in Valentine's Day.
