[Opinions] Re: Valentine
in reply to a message by Lily
I can't help but see Valentine as the male version of Valentina.I adore Valentina but I don't know if I'd ever use it in real life. My images for the name are so huge I wouldn't want to use it on a real kid. I use it in some stories.Plus, Valentine just reminds me of Valentine's Day. I feel there'd be a lot of really lame "would you be my valentine" jokes.I know you didn't ask, but for nn's I like Val and Vala. I'd stay away from Tina because I really dislike it.

Hmmm to me Valentine sounds really feminine. I know it was a strictly masculine name but so was Shirley. It just makes me think of flowers and hearts :P I dislike Tina as well. But I also dislike Val. I think if I had a daughter named Valentine I'd call her by her full name and if she picked a nickname I'd hope it would be Vallie or Allie which are fine.
