Valerie Hobson (1917-98) was a popular British actress whose stage and film career was at its height in the 1930s and early 1950s. The name Valerie, like the names Veronica and Vivien (inspired by Veronica Lake and Vivien Leigh) became quite popular in Britain during the 1930s-40s as a result of these respective actresses' fame. The nickname Val was shared in Australia with the rather awful name Valda, popular here during the 1920s and 1930s. Valerie Harper lent a different ambience to the name Valerie, and as long as it doesn't morph into Val I think it's pretty and possibly due for a revival now that V names are in vogue.

Valerie is used in Germany too. If there is no accent on the first 'e' it is usually pronounced VAH-le-ree here. [noted -ed]

It's the English equivalent of a common Italian name so it's used by Italian-Americans a lot. Like Anthony. I have an aunt with this name.
