Do you mean more used? Or have you heard
Valeriy not being accepted?
Valentin seems European to me (or else old-fashioned like
Valentine); I'd imagine it's primarily being used by Hispanic people in the US - nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't make it seem more familiar to me than
Valeriy so far, since I haven't met one. I like
Valentin but feel like
Valeriy has less baggage because it's not associated with
Valentine's Day.
I'd use
Valerian over
Valeriy, but I think someone has to like plants names for that.
