Valentine

A sweet French name that should be pronounced Val-un-teen, although everyone would probably call her Val-un-tyne. Still it's a lovely and unique name.
- This is a good, strong-sounding girl's name. The Latin root of it means "strong and brave." It was a popular name in France about one hundred years ago, but is just now slowly coming back into use. I think it sounds like a good name for a historical romance novel heroine - which to me is actually a recommendation!! - As my own name is Beth, I appreciate long, romantic-sounding names!
