Comments for the name Valentina

The Romanian name day for Valentina is 10 February.

Valentina is such a grand, beautiful name.

I love this name. It is so pretty.

I can't explain why, but I really dislike this name.

This name is also used in Greece, I don't know why it's not listed, since there's mention of the Greek name-day on the 14th of February.

It is the middle name of my daughter. Her first name is from her grandmother (which is typical in Greece) and I named her also Valentina because she was born on Valentine's day. I couldn't resist this.

There is a very old, classic Greek song entitled "Valentina". It is about a girl who has a bohemian life style, she does things unsuitable for a girl of her age, like having short hair, smoking, driving a car, hanging around night-clubs, and as the song predicts she will be soon wearing trousers! LOL! That's what the old times were like!

Valentina is also used in Spain and Spanish-speaking countries. There is a famous, classic, Spanish film called Valentina and a series of films involving the same character. A beautiful name! Great for a girl born on Valentine's Day!

A woman I know who is named Valentina is the worst and the meanest person I have ever met in my life. That is why I hate this name. Maybe once it was only because of her, but now I hate the name for itself alone.

This name is so beautiful. How the person up there could dislike it is beyond me.

Commenting on my own name because I love it! 90% of people I speak with every day comment [positive] on the name. As a part of my job, every day, I speak with at least 70 people from all over the world for the first time. I have been told only once in person that being from Bosnia my name should not be as plain as Valentina. I started laughing, asked her if she was serious and she was, too.

Valentina´s pet forms are Valinka, Valja, Tina, Valusha, Valy, Valentinka.

Also a feminine name in Slovenia. [noted -ed]

Valentina is one of the most influential European comics series, created in 1965 by the Italian artist Guido Crepax.

Originally a minor character working for the comic hero Neutron, Valentina became the sole protagonist of the series in 1967. The first episode was intitled La Curva di Lesmo (referring to a curve of the Italian Formula 1 Grand Prix of Monza). This story was followed by 30 others, collected in a total of 7 books, along with two others Lanterna magica (Magic Lantern, 1977) and Valentina pirata (Pirate Valentina), the first in full colour.

Valentina is a Mexican hot sauce manufactured by Salsa Tamazula of Guadalajara. It is common in Mexico, and is commonly used in the United States' Hispanic culture.

Although Valentina comes in two varieties—hot and extra hot—the sauce is known mostly for its taste as opposed to its spice. The taste can be described as a citrus flavor with a spicy aftertaste. It is often used on cucumbers and many varieties of fruit, such as watermelon, oranges, and pineapple, with lemon and salt added. Most enthusiasts refer to it as an authentic hot sauce, although in most Mexican homemade salsas, vinegar is seldom used, if ever. Among hot sauce enthusiasts it is very well rated, usually scoring 4 or more stars. It serves mostly as a dipping sauce or a hint of spiciness to most foods since its citrus-like taste rarely overpowers the taste of the food on which it is being applied.

I love this name! Valentina is so pretty! And Tina or Val for nicknames would be so pretty!

I know a girl named Valentina, and I think it's a beautiful name. She also goes by Val, which I think is very cute. As far as I know, she only gets positive comments on her name.

Sure it sounds nice, but it reminds me of Valentine's Day, which is an annoying holiday.

Very Italian, very beautiful.

Nicknames: Val, Vali, TeeTee, Tina, Lenny. Or whatever.

I wish this was my name. It's so perfect.

Valentina is a beautiful and unusual name. My grandmother has this name and it sounds rather romantic.

I love this name! If I was Italian I wouldn't have to think about naming a kid this, but since I'm not =( It might be a little too different.

I love this name. It's so powerful and sexy sounding. I imagine a dark skinned girl with Russian heritage with thick black hair and bright eyes. It sounds like the name of a very confident person. I prefer the nickname Vala, which I think is cute and pretty.

Feminine and soft, but very strong and classic!

I absolutely adore this name. In fact, I'm legally changing my name to Valentina soon. My birthday happens to be 13 February, but I don't think my birthday being a day off of Valentine's Day and my name being Valentina will be that weird.

I've heard negative comments from the cliché "I hate Valentine's Day" people, and I've heard it's silly, but hey, it's my name!

This name is so designer to me! I love it! This name reminds me of a scintillating and wonderful woman!

One of my favorite names. It's long, but simple and very feminine and you can always shorten it to Tina.
