Makes me think of the song "My Funny Valentine" :-)

It's the name of Ender Wiggin's sister from the book Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. I think it's better for a girl than a guy.

In the movie Mirrormask, one of the main characters was named Valentine.

I like this name a lot. It sounds so classy! But the problem is that there would definitely be some very immature people who would never give a child named Valentine a momet's peace. *Sigh* . . . Another good name destroyed.

I really prefer the name Valentine for a guy to a girl. A girl makes it seem vaguely annoying and vain, and incredibly delicate. For a guy it comes off as strong as it should.

This is my daughter's name (taken from her grandfather's middle name). We got a lot of grief from family members because it is unusual and people either love it or hate it. We call her Val or Valley. Take my advice: don't tell relatives names until after the child is born, have fun with names and if the first name is unusual keep the middle name simple, in case s/he wants to go by something more traditional.

Bonus: she gets lots of gifts on V-Day.

Valentine is also the name of Maximillian Morrel's lover in "The Count of Monte Christo".

In the film "By Hook or by Crook," Valentine is the main character, a female to male transvestite.

I like Valentinus better for a boy, but it's a bit of a mouthful, as the "us" comes off as pompous to most people.

Such a strong and masculine name! Also, of course, undeniably romantic. I love it.

Valentine is the name of one of the central characters (played by Irene Jacob) in the film "Rouge" (1994) from Kieslowski's film cycle "Trois Couleurs." This may explain its sudden rise in popularity in France and Belgium in the last several years.

One of the main characters in The Count of Monte Cristo is named Valentine.

I fell in love with the name Valentine when I read 'Ender's Game'. To me it just screams cute, and I would definitely use it on my daughter, but I'm afraid it would cause some teasing. The only good nickname I can think of is 'Allie' maybe, but that's far too overused.

In the detective novels by Margery Allingham, her detective Mr Albert Campion has a sister called Valentine; however, since his real name is Rudolph, it's impossible to be sure that it's her actual name.
