In fact I like it so much that's our daughter's name. :)
To me,
Valerie is a classic, but not in the same way that
Mary or
Anna is a classic.
Valerie hasn't been used nearly as long or as often as those names, so while it's gotten a lot of use in the last fifty years or so, it still seems fresher and less "default" than a lot of other classics. It did get popular in the fifties/sixties/seventies, but for some reason people don't tend to find it dated like they might find
Linda or
Carol, for instance.
I definitely prefer Valeriae over
Valeria.
