I like
Valerie a lot. I know it's a little dated. I have only positive associations with it, and I think it's pretty. "
Val" is a great syllable. I like that
Val is a little boyish and that
Valerie is just slightly unisex.
Valerie is one of those names that is both strong/tough and pretty. I expect it with sisters named
Angela and
Kathleen. I would honestly consider
Valerie for a daughter.
