On the contrary, Valýrie (with the accent,please!)is very common in France (French origin) especially during the 60'...I was born in 1978! For example,we were 5 Valýrie in the'same class (10th grade) !!! Anyway all the International Valýrie are the best,aren't we❤️ Lol!
It's my name, and I really love it no matter they call me "valerie" or "val"!
It's mine and peeps always spell it wrong! every day! I haven't met that many valerie's but my mom's boss is named valerie so thats kewl.
This is my name, and I cann't ask for any other name in'the world. It is masculine but unique and fresh-sounding, and it is uncommon where I live yet very easy to pronounce. Beats Bruce defin'tely (cann't imagine myself with that name!). Although people rhyme my name with an'thing ending with "-ice", it is nice to hear people call me "Brycicles"! It's cute. I love my name.
I always use to think my name was so annoying most people would always pronounce it Val rie! Now that i hear people saying it correctly i found it to be a really pretty name myself!
My name is Valerie i luv my name bcos it make me a stronger person everyday.my friends call me valerie,my mum and sister calls me val my boyfriend calls me baby V.i luv it.
I agree with every comment that is on here, I love my name but there is only one thing, my mother spelled my name different from Valerie, my name is spelled Vallery. really she was not being creative, Vallery is my family's last name, so my mother just gave me it as a first name. But any little girl named it, no matter how it is spelled, is very much so lucky.
I'm a valerie, but it has become such a common name that i grow tired of it :( sad
My 8yo daughter is named Valerie, and she is such a pretty thing. The name fits her'sooo well! It's a lovely feminine name, and males seem to like the name too, It's not an overly poofy name, It's just right! Yay for Valerie!
My name is valArie people usually spell my name ValErie instead of valarie
My name is Valerie. Unlike my last name, It's assured that Valerie will always be pronounced right,(unless used around Spanish speaking people, who seem to alter it to "baleria", which I don't like. It's sophisticated, elegant and not over'sed. Other people are always telling me they like that name and I have to agree. I'm happy to be named Valerie.
My name is also Valerie. I'm 15 years old and wouldn't want to change it. My grandmother named me this before she died and I'm so happy my mother chose never to change it. I do get called Val but it doesn't bother me. Valerie is such a pretty name and I'm sure you will fall in love if you meet one.
WELL I LIKE MY NAME NICOLE AND ALOT OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS CALL ME NIKKI BUT I DONT MIND, MY NAME IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND ALL THE BOYZ LIKE MY NAME NICOLE It's NOTHING WRONG WIT IT...SO WHO EVERY DONT LIKE THE NAME NICOLE F*%# OFF AND GET A LIFE....:)
It evokes an upbeat, outgoing and fun-loving persona.
My name is Valerie and I love it. It is the type of name that gets complements and sounds successful.
VALERIE IS A VERY NICE NAME NOT OVer'sED WHICH IS NICE AND PRETTY WELL GOES WITH VMOST LAST NAMES;
I love my name but I absolutely agree with the previous comment, please do not call me Val. I absolutely hate it when people shorten my name, not only does it sound not as nice but Val is also a Russian boys name, and I do not like being called a boy. So I agree if you do name your daughter Valerie always call her by that.
What a joy to find such clear thinknig. Thanks for posting!
I have always LOVED this name! i think it is sooo pretty!i don't know anybody with the name and its not my name either, but i do want to name one of my kids valerie, but spelled valeree i don't know i just like it!
My name Valerie Marie. I adore my name and I would not trade it for anything. When I was younger I hated saying it, but now that I am older I love it. People also shorten it to "Val" I correct them immediately and say "it's Valerie"
This is my name, and let me just say there's a reason I go by a different name now. It's masculine enough to be comfortable but everyone thinks my name is Ashton and i've never met another Afton, boy or girl.
Well my name is Valerie pronounced vuh leer ree and I was named after a Russian ballet dancer (who just happened to be a man). I was gonna be named Valerie whether I was a boy or girl. (Thank God I'm a girl)!I've only met Russian men who pronounce their names the way I do. I love the name because it is truly unique!
I am 60 yrs old, my father chose my name for me, I have always loved the name VALERIE ♥
I have grown up not liking the name, I HATE to be called Val and that'seems to be what everyone thinks they should shorten it to. Would never name a child Valerie, I feel sorry for any child I hear that is named Valerie.
I'm 16 years old and my name is Valerie. I use to hate the name considering that It's not very popular. Now, I am starting to like it more. It's unique and It's not too popular. The only thing i don't like about my name is that there are not very many nicknames for Valerie. The only nickname used alot for me is Val and i hate it. I have had many people tell me my name is beautiful and unique. Overall, Valerie is a unique and uncommon name, but It's better than having a extremely common name.
When I was younger, I hated being called George. It was so boyish, so I resented being a Georgina. After I left for the military and came back a few years later I asked to be called Georgie or Georgina. I actually don't mind being called George now. All the versions fit my personality well. I'm kind of a tomboy. I work on my truck; I offroad; I don't mind getting dirty; I work in gov't;I'm creative; I'm often nice and sweet; natural; and, very strong willed and motivated. My mom chose my name well. She'said she knew I was going to be a Georgina, and she liked the name'since she was high school.
valerie is my name, i get val most of the time,its ok.
Well,am pamela too from nigeria,and am in love with my name,infaact my daughter is gonna be named pamela too,people call me pam pam,(pammy) here,pammy means something different,its an alcoholic drink gotten from palm trees,sometimes it pisses me off when called that,but i love my name,am also called pamsy and all...lol!

We just named our new puppy Lexie, love the name. So cute, for girls or girl puppies!
My name is Valerie. I am almost 15 and in my entire lifetime so far I have probably only met 3 Valerie's.
I laugh at some of the ways that people spell my name. I have now become use to spelling out my name and accepted that people will call me "val" instead of valerie. But hey, we kinda get a day to ourselves (Valentines).
I'm a Valerie born in 1972. It's the only name my parents picked because my dad dreamed it before I was born. As a kid, I hated being called "Val" but i've come to like it.
I love my name Valerie. I know at least one person with my name in school. Most of my friends like making up nicknames with my name. its funny xD
My name's Valeria. Which is the Italian/spanish form of VALERIE. It's a beautiful, original name.
I named my daughter Valerie in 2019, making her 7 now. I have not heard of another child with that name, and I worked as a daycare teacher for 10 yrs. I love that her name is traditional but uncommon at the'same time.
It's easy to say and It's not too much of a common name you hear.
When I was a child in school my name was unique, and often not easy to remember for that fact. I was called Victoria and Vanessa because no one could remember any other names starting with a "V". As I got older I began to love my name due to how guys thought it was beautiful and girls were jealous of it. But now, the name seems more and more common. So I guess it's just another unique name that became trendy. I love my name "Valerie Gayle" and am happy to be the one who influenced one of my childhood friends to consider this cute, strong, beautiful name!
OMG PEOPLE SAY MY NAME WRONG ALL THE TIME. IT GETS ON MY NERVOUS, LOL (:
my names valerie :D im 12 & i love my name its so uniqe ive met only one person with the name valerie and my last name is castagna haha so out there huh❤️
My name is Valerie. I Love my name. I always have loved my name. I agree people always spell it wrong. I despise being called Val. There r a very few from my youth that will call me V and that's ok. This name means strong. My middle name means leader its a great name combo.
Well my name is spelled Kelsea and it is pronounced Kelsa (KElSUH). NO ONE says it right.
My name is Valerie....At first I didn't like my name, I thought it was weird, but now I'm kinda fond of it. And I love how no one asks me what my nickname is, they just automatically call me Val! But it does get kind of annoying when no one knows how to spell it. Also, I always feel weird saying my name-- I feel like I'm saying it wrong or something. Ah, well, that's probably just me. Anyways, I do love my name. It kind or reminds me of a field of flowers. x3
I'm a Valerie, but most people eventually call me Val. i've had a few misspellings, usually Valarie or Valeria (which sounds like some sort of germ, ha!), but most have spelled it correctly. i've met another Valerie who works in a building near me -- other than that, no other Valerie's. I do love my name though.
I really love the origin of this name. Val❤️re, the latin word for valor or stren'th. Although, everyone always spells my name wrong. I spell my name Vallery.
Most people spell it correctly, although that has not always been'the case. It'seems to have become over the last 15 years or so the preferred spelling. I rarely ever meet anyone with the'same name. I don't particularly LOVE my name, but I wouldn't change it.
I like my name Valerie and yes it is mispelled quite often. I like it that it is not common, so when I hear it, I look. I was nammed after a doll on a cereal box by my sister in the early 60's. Guess it just stayed with me!
I love my name. It'sounds intelligent and sexy and intriguing. Hey, that describes me!
My Name is Valerie, The name "Valerie" is of French Origin and it means Stren'th.
My name is Valerie Venýe (Va-nay) and I just love the combination and oringinality of myfirst & middle name. I think my mom did a creative job.
It is my name! I love it. It's not very common and though I usually have to spell it twice to people, to me is very melodic and with attitude. My mother thinks she'should have called me Valeria instead (in Spanish)... but I truly appreciate the international character of Valerie. :)
Even though my parents changed the spelling I love my name and I love the way its spelled its unique. I get called Val by people closes to me but I dont mind but I do mind when its someone I dont know then I tell them its MS.Valaree lol.
It happens to be my name but I spell it as Vallery. I don't often meet people with the'same name but whenever I tell someone It's my name they say its cool. I absolutly love my name.
ok my names is VALERIE and some of my friends spell my name with a letter ,Y,
I recently have come to love my name. Although most people call me Val, I like having a name that Isn't very common but at the'same time is easy to pronounce.
We named our daughter Vanessa because my husband loves Greek/Roman mythology and had studied Greek language....and I, myself, love butterflies.....Vanessa means butterfly...coincidnece❤️
My name is Valerie, i like it, its not very common and i havent met anyone with the name valerie yet which personally i dont mind, id prefer to have a name that isnt so common it makes it unique. Although there are some nicknames i dont like e.g "valo" but "val" is ok. the only probblem is i couldnt pronounce my name when i was younger but i still love it!
my name is valerie this is the way i spell it, many people that i know prononce it correctly but some spell it either valery vallerie or other ways.........
My name is Valerie, I'm 33 years old. I feel my name fits me way better now than it did when I was little. My boyfriend loves my name and thinks It's beautiful. My parents almost named me Brandie-then my Dad picked up a TV Guide and named me after Valerie Bertinelli. :O)
I live in India where this name is not commonly heard of, but when i introduce myself people give different pronounciation thats hilarious, but i remind people if they get salary, wear jewellry then valerie pronounication is not difficult. Its my name and in india its unique and i love it
i LOVE LOVE LOVE my name!!! because i like the nickname everyone calls me val :) and not alot of people have that name'so i love it!
My name is Valerie and lots of my friends call me Val. Last time, some people use to call me Celery because It'sounds like Valerie. Even'though people make fun of my name'sometimes, but i think it is unique and not so common, that is why i like my name.
"Valerie" is loosely translated from Latin "valere"; I know this because I studied Latin in college. On the first day we opened the textbook to page two, and the word "valere" was the first word we learned (pronounced "wah-LEH-reh" rolling that "r") as a verb meaning "having great power." I grinned and thought to myself, if that Isn't an 11:11 prompt, I don't know what is!!! You better beli've I have power, Baby. I won't come into my full power until I am in my 60's. I am now 46 and still hip deep in studying complex mysticI'm and the physics of metaphysics. Through a medI'm, Edgar Cayce spoke to me, said he'd come to speak especially to me, and told me that I would one day be more powerful than the medI'm channeling him. He did not divulge what my purpose would be, and although I have a vague vision of it, I am never allowed to see myself in full form. I think it would probably scare me if I did. i've been'this way all of my life. Men are very attracted to me but generally can't hang for very long. It's depressing, but I understand. At least I have a lot of precious memories for the treasure box inside my heart of hearts. And a helluva future to look forward to.
I love my name and it happens to be Valerie. I do however find that people confuse it and think I am introducing myself as Natalie.
I love the name Valerie, i am 13 and i have loved it forever!!
when i was growing up no one i knew had my name. i always met either britney's or christina's or rachel's but never valerie. it felt good to know that whenever my name was being called i would know it was me.
Valerie is a very beautiful name. My dad wanted to name me Maude - so I am especially grateful that my mom did not listen'to him and named me Valerie Michelle - I love it!!!
Not very common, I used to be called Valerie the Calorie (I was chubby)...sad, huh❤️! In later years, my friend called me Val-Gal....I prefer Val.
this is a perfect name for a little girl and a buisness girl two!
i happen'to love my name because not many people have it and its just amazing.

My name is Valerie And im 15 years old... i love my name because there aren't very many people name valerie... People often spell my name VALORY but its V-A-L-E-R-I-E.... the correct way to say valerie is (Val-ER-IE)... I only know one other person named valerie..
My wife's name is Valerie, so I love it. She goes by 'Val' and It'suits her well. She'says, "I like my name because it is not common, but people still recognize it. Although on the phone, people have a hard time understanding it."
Valerie is my name and I love it too! It is nice to have a name that is original, but not completely unheard of. I agree with the person who left an earlier comment - sometimes people confuse it when I am introducing myself with "natalie" or "hilary."
Valerie is my name as well and I have grown to love it. I'm the only Valerie I know! When I was younger I tried changing the'spelling - Valorie, Valary, etc. but I like the traditional spelling best. It's a great name! I go by "Val" usually...
i just learned that the name VALERIE...is from old french latin and it means strong, valor and valiant. (the meaning of valiant should not be taken seriously since there's a little negativity in it). Also..it means heroin. Anyway, when we are called VAL..it means power. yeah that means we are powerful and strong just like leaders and heroes. The world needs us! What would happen without leaders and heroes..huh❤️ I love my name!
I am 22 and my name is Valerie. I thionmed Valerie but I don't think that is the main point. The person behind the name is what makes the name what it is. You know though, I do tend to think that all Valeries seem to have similar character'stics. Every Valerie I know or have heard of and seen, brown hair except one (6/1), and most are free spirited people, unique, and they don't blend in so to speak as much as an Ashley or Lauren. no offense I like those names
Valerie is a different name I like it people remember you because the name is unique like all valerie's
Valinda is Russian Gypsy name,it means good fortune - you can find many Valindas in Russian circus Kazequtiana.
When I was in college, my roommate's friend came over one day with his girlfriend. When she introduced he'self "I'm Athena", I thought it was the most beautiful, unique name that I had heard. Of course, I knew of the Greek goddess Athena, but this was the first time I ever met or knew of someone with that name. I thought to myself that if I were blessed to have a daughter, I would name her Athena. Years later my wife and I were blessed and we did name her Athena. She is a young woman now and she is as beautiful and smart as the name'suggests.
I insist on being called "Valerie" and not "Val". I think It's a pretty name-feminine and distinctive. Also, It's not a cutsy, trendy name - It's as appropriate for a baby as it is for a woman. I never tire of the'sound, very musical, I think. Very common in England.
My name is valerie and in all of my years of being in school no one else has been named valerie. My teache's remember me because my name is uncommon I love my name it is pretty and i really love the nickname val if tour name is valerie and you are thinking about changing it because you dont like it dont do that because you are uniuqe.
I have always like my name however my parents spelt it with 2 L's Vallerie!!!I am 66 yrs old and every time I have to spell my name it is always questioned..Why the 2 L's LOL!!Even Google asks why
HI'my name just happens to be Valerie. I'm 12 years old and I love m name. I love it cause its sweet and its no to common. LOVE M NAME YO!!! Its cute and COOL!!!
My name is Valerie and I love the name very much.. All my frens call me Val. It's a nice name... Even my teacher likes my name! Hooray for Valerie!
i LOVE my name because not alot of people have it but also i think it is special!!
My name is Valerie. I happen'to like my name. Always have. I do notice that when I identify myself as "Valerie" people have not misunderstood it for something else, however when I identify myself as "Val" they often misunderstand me, many times for "Beth". Or they just say "huh❤️".
My name is Valerie, I absolutely love my name and never wanted another one. It was rare & unique enough in the'sense that I didn't meet othe's with the'same name. This was until I'met my husband and found out his younger'sister (who is just a few months younger than me) was also named Valerie! What a trip! Now we have share the name--she is in the medical industry and uses her original maiden last name, since she graduated from med school before she married. In the years since then, every Valerie I'meet is successful--kind of weird.
My name is Valerie. My mother got it from a soap opera, ha ha. Since I'm hispanic I'm also called "Valeria" (which is the way to say valerie in Spanish). i've met a couple other girls named Valerie.
My daughter Valerie is ten years old. When I was growing up in the 70's, I had a Valerie in my class and thought it was a nice name. My name is Louise and hated having an uncommon name. But when I was pregnant with my daughter, I wanted something different and thought of names I seldom hear anymore. She was going to be named Alicia, but one night while driving I heard the'song "Valerie" by Stevie Winwood. I remembered how much I had liked the name growing up and named her Valerie. It's a beautiful and uncommon name in a day of Taylors, Brittanys,and Gias.
My names Valerie! Though mine is spelt Valaurie! Everyone always spells my name wrong! And i have only meet on other Valerie in my life!
My Name is valerie and I have always liked it. Like said above when i introduce myself people often hear Mallory or something like that.
I love my name, because you don't hear it too often. But I prefer to be called 'Val' instead, simply because It's easy to pronounce.
It's just one of those names with the 'ommph' factor.
I named my daughter (14 mos. old) Valerie and I just love it! There are absolutely no other Valeries her age in this town :) It's beautiful and feminine but also strong and serious. It's also a classic....I HATE trendy names!
I am also a VAlerie and I too, have ALWAYS loved my name. People always seemed to want to call me Valeria in school and I do not like it being shortened to Val either. It is quite unique. I am 41 and have never met another person named Valerie first-hand. I find that people always seem to remember my name too, and I think it is due to the fact that most people do not hear the name very often. It has always been nice being the only Valerie in a class in school or at the office etc. My father picked the name because he had seen a movie just before I was born and the heroine in it was named Valerie and she was very strong and courageous. i've always wanted to find out what the name of the movie was but I never did. I'm glad, though, that my dad saw it and liked the name. It has served me well.
My name; it has grown on me because it Isn't that common... Better than being a Jennifer, I suppose!
My name is Valerie. I'm English and I'm the only Valerie in the county I live in! I would say I'm proud but I didn't name myself so I don't take any credit for it aha.
You Should Name Your Child This Name Its A Nice Name .
A true classic, Valerie is a name wIt'standing of time's tests. Although uncommon, the name is known to most and held in great respect by those from all manners of life. As a name thought as strong and elegant, Valerie is perhaps one of the best names out there for giving a child confidence in their upbringing and title.
I don't have a problem with my name at all. Wouldn't change it, I guess ^^" But I am annoyed by Amy Winehouse song 'Valerie' becaue everyone, seriously everyone sings it to me XD
That is my name! When I was in high school a girl named ValArie and I used to fight over which spelling was more appropriate, of course we were joking and later on became friends, our other friends call us "The Valeries".
It's a beautiful name, It's my name. i love when people call me "val"!
My daughter's name is Valerie...she is 14 months now. I like it because It's not commonplace, nor is it trendy.
The name Valerie is the best name in the whole world ❤❤❤ I love it lot ....... People should really have that name ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
mine is Vellary the most unique name and i love that name people usually tells me it belongs to boys but i love It'so much although people usually confuse me with Vallary, valerie but i usually like that article e' coz it makes it diffarent
I named my daughter Valerie (now 21). I still love it. It is not common, but at the'same time not "out there."
I am called Valerie and I love it. I was born on St.Valentines Day.
I love my name. Valerie is so femine (French) and means strong. I live up to my name all the way. I am trying hard to find a girls name that is exactly that, in case my baby-on-the-way is a girl. I would love to give her a strong feminine French name. (Their names are just prettier). I am thinking about Jacqueline (Jack-a-lean). It rivals Valerie. I never knew a Valerie who didn't know her own worth and value he'self and intellectual importance, regardless.... There is something special about those rare few Valeries I have met. maybe I am just biased.
I named my daughter Valerie 30 years ago and I am very happy I did. She loves her name and wouldn't change it. It Valerie not Val. If you should name your baby Valerie pleae be sure to call her Valerie not Val. It is to beautiful to shorten.
That's my partner's name. Beautiful lady..and I am a very lucky one!
It's my name and I love it..I agree that it is hard to find anything that's personalized, but I guess its a good thing since that means that its not very common
I love my name, but like all the other Valerie's...everyone spells it incorrectly and it is annoying...Just ask if you aren't sure....A person's name'shouldn't be butchered...lol
pronounciation is easy, most people spell the name incorrectly...and yes, it is hard to find the name on coffee cups in gift stores, but I still love the name!
My name is Valarie. My mom spelled it differently.I know one other person named Valerie. But she'spells it with an e. When I had earned awards, they always spelled it with an e. But I still have not found someone with the name Valerie spelled with an a, but I hope to.
I love my name! It's pretty, It's not overly common, and It's easy to pronounce! Growing up kids would talk about changing their names but I never wanted to! I also get a lot of compliments on what a pretty name I have. Unfortunately people do tend to randomly shorten it to Val, but it doesn't bother me much, but I do prefer Valerie.
My nаmе is Valeriа (spelled as it is spelled in Ukraine) and I am quite proud of that.
I'll have a baby in a 2 weeks, and decided to name her Valerie. Me and my husband just love that name.
Valerie is a name you don't hear often! Through high school, college, etc. I have yet to meet another Valerie. I can honestly say I am pleased with the name that was given'to me!
I am also a Valerie and have always loved it (even more so as an adult). It is very pretty, special/unique and indicates a strong, level-headed woman. My family calls me Val, but I do prefer Valerie and it bugs me when people just assume it's alright to shorten it without asking me. Valerie is so lovely! Name your little girl Valerie and she'll love it!
my initials happen'to be VAG which can be quite inter'sting. other than that i love my name. they say its quite popular but i have never met another valerie in person so i think its unique. its a sexy, timeless name.
I love my name. as a child i wasnt very fond of the name Valerie, but as i am a grown woman now i wouldnt have another name. It is simply who I am. Everyone mispells it.. common misspellings are valorie, valory. Children'teased with names such as Valvolene when i was little. I'm 33 yrs old so maybe that was just in my day❤️ might be different now.
Valerie is my name and yes it is very rarely if ever'spelt correctly except by my family. No I have never actually met another Valerie.
I was surprised to see that it was among the top 1000 names every decade. I'm usually the only one in an given situation, so I always thought it was an unusual name. I love it! I think It's a pretty sounding name - very feminine.
I like my name, even'though people often misspell it. It is fun to have an instant nickname'since Valerie shortens to Val.
Whom ever wrote this comment below...this is weird! look! My name is Macy, i love it. It's differnt. :)] my older'sisters name is Mallarie, and my youngers sisters names are MacKenna, and Madelyn. :) so we have a pattern . && i love itt. :D" My name is Macy and my older'sisters name is Mallory. My brothe's name is Matt...all M's but the weird part is that i wanted to name my kids Madelyn and MacKenna...Madelyn because It's a M and has mine and Mallory's first letters..her middle name is lynn and my bestfriend's middle name is dane...madelyn..there you go... anyway...i just found that ironic! P.s: I love my name as well :)
I simpy love it!!! My father is American,and my mother is Italian:We live in italy! I never knew another valerie before...here in Italy It's almost impossible,but lots of people like my name.(They spell it VALERY xD) when I was little I didn't like,but now i love it:I'm unique! Excuse me for the errors,I hardly ever wright in English xD VALERIE IS THE BEEEEEEST :)
My parents spelled it ❤️V-A-L-A-R-I-E❤️ instead of the more commonly spelled version with 2-Es and 1-A. I was born in the late 1972s . I always hated it when I went through School & college with Lisas , Lauras, Amy❤️s, Jennifers, Stephanies, Chris❤️s, etc. But i've come to appreciate the name as having the right blend of being uncommon but not too weirdly unique. I did have a college roommate for a summer with the'same name but spelled with 2-Es and 1-A instead of my way with 2-As & 1-E. Some nicknames i've been called are of course ❤️Val,❤️ and one I really like, ❤️Vallie❤️. Also nicknames like ❤️Alla❤️ (sounds like ❤️Aa❤️ in ❤️valley❤️) ; ❤️Allie❤️ that'sounds like a shortening of Allison.; or ❤️Ree❤️ as short for ❤️Vale-Ree❤️
My name is valeria but they mostly confuse it with valerie lol i used to hate when'the teache's read the attendence and said the name valerie (since kindergarden)but now im giving up and i dont even'tell them its valeria
I am a 53 year old Valerie. I have always loved my name. In my whole life, I have only met 1 other Valerie. i've never had any problems with people spelling my name.
My middle name is actually valerie and I'm 14, I havnt really liked the name but I now realise its a very petite and gentle name and now really love it
I love my name! Us Valerie's have no part in being "trashy." I love it and feel like I stand out!
as a kid, i hated "Valerie". Other kids called me Balerie, Varry, Barry, Valree. I hate Val. I'd rather just be called "V" if it must be shortened. Oh, and I get called Vickie, Vivian, and Beverly too. I'm 47 years old. I still don't like it, but I don't know what I would choose for myself. Maybe Mallory.
I love this name, It's a little hard to pronounce but that's okay , I guess. It's better than having such a common name'such as Brittany.
My name is Valerie! I am 16 and I love my name. "Valerie, A joyful heart On her lips a song, In the face of adversity, Will always be strong"
I'll have a baby girl in a 2 weeks, and for sure will name her Valerie. Me and my husband just love that name..
When I was little I did not like my name at all, but now I do. I guess you could say it grew on me. People always say how pretty of a name it is. Although, they have a hard time mispelling it and pronouncing it.
My mom spelt my Valar** different. I'm not disclosing it on purpose, because I am the only Valar** spelt this way. I love my name because It's different. People rarely spell my name correctly, but that's ok!! It makes me feel special and unique.
Never have problems with people misspelling it, and i also know 2 or 3 other people with the name. i love it, It's pretty, not incredibly common, and classic. it makes me sad when othe's say "Val"!
I am Valerie born on Valentine's Day. People call me Victoria, Veronica, Vanessa often before they realize that my name is Valerie. I love Val as a nickname but in brooklyn It'sounds like sal al etc and so i answer to everyone thinking they are addressing me. some children named Isabelle are called Belle and it often sounds like Val.
This is my name...its a great name I wouldn't change it for nothing in the world..
hey my name is Valerie and I also prefer to be called Val. No one else really has my name, except on this site. I didn't know it was used that much on the 60s! I'm only 19, haha. But everyone spells my name wrong too. I hate when people sing that'stupid song "Valerie, Valerah" or whatever It's called. It's very annoying. All in all, though, I like my name.
It's kind of cute. I knew a cute little blondie Valerie. Val is cute.
Hi, Im 21 years of age and what can I say not many people have my name which makes me feel special and unique. I'mean seriously how many Louise's and Lauras do you come across, people mis-spell my name often which is annoying...but I'must say I love the that there's a song with my name in it...by the Zetons and Amy Winehouse...It can't get any better than that
Valentina is a lovely name! It's my daughter's second name :)
That's my name and I love it even'though people tend to call me Victoria by accident (a lot.) I love my name and It's meaning! NAME UR KIDS VALERIE!!! Valeries unite!!!
My name is Vallerie, but as you can see, spelled with two "l"'s. I like my name when people do not take it upon them selves to shorten it to Val. That is so plain and boring.
i love my name'seriously it is an awesome name! I'mean i haven't met many people with the name valerie...and if i become famous...well not many celebs have that name and that is so chill! names that'start with a v sound so elegant i love it! thanks mom!
I love the birdsong feeling all the vowels make as you say the name. My girlfriend is named Valerie, and I was happy to find that out when I first met her. Most people seem to be able to say her name right. Except for some of my Spanish speaking friends...then she's Balerie.
People usually put too many "A's" in it. Bleah. But I love my name. i've only known a handful of other people with my name before. I'm a unique person and I have a unique name. What can I say❤️ It works. :) I also tend to go by Val a lot as well.
I wouldn't change my name for anything... I have always felt that I was unique and had a prettier name than most people... I know that sounds kinda rude but its true... Valerie is a beautiful name ... And one that most people don't forget... So if you want someone to be rememebered easily.. Name your daughter Valerie!!!
I named my daughter Valerie she is 29 and she has always told me that'she loved her name....she was the only girl at her'school with the name Valerie...
