This is behindthename. People here are often biased against using traditionally masculine names on a girl. In my opinion the poll doesn't say anything about how people in the real world would react to it.
There's a major movie coming out this year, 'Ender's Game' which will feature a feminine main character named Valentine (with the -ine pronunciation). My guess is that it will even further establish Valentine as a feminine name and that it might get some use for girls after the movie has been released.
Edited: Just a question regarding your poll. I do find Valentine 'romantic and charming' on a girl, not really on a boy. So I don't know whether to choose that as one of my answers or not as it doesn't specify for which gender.

Yeah, but at least the poll shows what people here think. I think it's a little more accurate than the opinion board, as far as sampling. But only a little bit. I pretty much agree with you that in the world "in front of the name," most people share your opinion, not mine.
Yes, choose romantic and charming if that's the vibe it gives you. The poll isn't trying to specify what gender the name is "supposed to be." The one option is just supposed to distinguish whether your image is influenced by Valentine's Day. The "strong and vigorous" option could be chosen even if you like it for a girl, if you feel like the name evokes that image too.
