I am neutral on Josephine and Claudia.


Like Elizabeth? Or Olivia?

Valentina is a little strange in America -- I tend to agree with the PP who said it sounds a little trashy. But I knew a Russian woman names Valentina, and it made sense for her (she was born and raised in Russia, though).


I hate these responses. If you post about a name that may be more frequently used in other countries, someone always posts that it's trashy or the name of a future stripper. FFS at least come up with something new.

I love Valentina. I also like Josephine and Claudia, but Valentina is my favorite.

Wow, I can't get over some of these names, many of which will be stripper names in 20 years.

Right, what's wrong with Valentine? Why make it Valentina?!


OP is not making it Valentina. Valentina already exists as a name..

My best friend is Claudia, so I'm biased. She sometimes goes by Claud, but it's not really a nickname-friendly name (but is so pretty on its own).

Not a fan of either Josephine or Valentina.

I love Josephine! Josie is a nice nn for when she is younger. Claudia is okay. I don't care for Valentina.

I like Claudia, but no good nicknames I can think of.

Josephine/Josie gets my vote for sure. I know a great five year old with that name.
