Valentina is my eldest daughter's name. Her whole name is Valentina Noelle. Everyone loves her name and all she gets is compliments...constant compliments! NOBODY calls her "VAL" because people actually enjoy saying this name. Every girl in her school is jealous of her frilly girly name and nobody else has it! I just have to correct anyone that assumes she wants to be called "V" or "Val" as it is rude...if I wanted a child with a boring name, I would have done so. DO NOT CALL MY beauty VAL! Anyways, she loves her name and so do I. She is extremely outspoken, smart, strong and artsy. Nobody makes fun of her on Valentine's Day...she is currently 6 years old. Whenever I call her name while in a public place..."VALENTINA..." everyone's head turns because it's such a majestic and exotic name-they want to know "who is this girl!"
I’ve heard that this name is seen as very outdated and old fashioned in Russia. (I’m not Russian, BTW. I’ve just always been interested in that country).
Valentina is also Dutch (Rare), Swedish (Rare), Norwegian (Rare), Danish (Rare), Finnish, Estonian, Lithuanian, Hungarian (Rare), Serbian (Rare), Portuguese, English (Rare), and Ukrainian, as an alternate transcription of Valentyna. You'll find numerous Ukrainian bearers on Social Media.Scripts: Валентина (Serbian), Валентина (Ukrainian)English Pronunciation: val-in-TEEN-ə.
Also English. The popularity charts for the United States and England/Wales should be a further indicator of that.English Pronunciation: val-in-TEEN-ə.
You can also shorten it to Vina or Val or like in my country Serbia they call me Vanja. Sometimes I don't like nicknames because I think my name is pretty but if they have to nickname me I would choose Vina.

It is also used as an English name (check the popularity in USA and in UK).
In Italy Valentina was overused in the 1980s. It was the 7th most popular name in Rome in 1976, the 1st in 1981 and 1986, the 6th in 1991, the 10th in 1994. In spite of this overuse, it is still quite common nowadays: it ranks 18th of the most popular names in Italy in 2004 and 23rd in 2006.
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!

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.
