I think Valentin is an awesome name! And Val is a sweet nickname if you want one. I’d assume it was pronounced Val-in-tin, however I am not in America or France. I’d be super excited if I met a Valentin in real life, to be honest.
If you’re still looking for more suggestions, then I think Hugo, Victor, Augustin, Alessio, Ismaël, Maxence and Alexandre could work, though I dont see any problem with Valentin.
I agree with ari, your writing style is awesome!
