My middle name is Valinda and I gave it to my first daughter as her first name because I have always loved the name. My name came from a comic strip in the newspaper in southern California in the early 50's. From what my mother told me the character was named Valinda Lee and was a Brenda Starr type character - the'strip just didn't stay around as long. I was teased about my name as a child more than my daughter was. Valinda - Vanilla lead to Chocolate, it was the 60's. Since it was my middle name I did not really suffer from mis-spelling issues. My daughter's most common experience was 'Velinda'. Her husband has a client who is also a writer for CSI and as a birthday surprise had Valinda used in a CSI script. My daughter was able to chose who Valinda would be and chose to be a victim in the'show. The actress playing the female lead that episode could NOT remember Valinda so she'shortened it to 'Val' but the 'phone records' shown had Valinda spelled out.

My boyfriends moms name is Valinda I think its beautiful. It's going to be our daughters middle name

My name is Valinda also. To all of the Valinda's, I understand being called Melinda, Belinda, Val, etc.. The person that named me passed away when I after I was born. My mom had a cousin that was pregnant at the'same time. When she heard the name, she decided to name her daughter Valinda. I was born first so my mom named me Valinda. Needless to say she was very upset. I use to hate my name. But as I got older and realized how unique it was I began to love it. As as matter of fact I am celebrating my birthday on this very day, July 12.

My name is Valinda. i've known one other Valinda. I live in California near the city Valinda. My nicknames are Val and Vee. People have called me Belinda, Melinda, Valerie and Vanilla. Like someone mentioned before I guess It's hard to remember Valinda. I like that my name Isn't very common.

My name is Valinda, and I love my name. I receive compliments every time someone hears my name for the first time. I did not realize that there were so many other Valinda's. I always felt special and unique with my name. People often'think my name is Melinda or Belinda but I do not mind nor do I correct them. I am asked often where it came from or what does it mean❤️ I usually respond with my parents were trying to be unique and knew someone with the name. I have always thought it meant "pretty", I like "pretty valley" and "beautiful valley" as well.

i do not know anyone else by this name and i am totally suprised that there so many that do share this name. i personally only use this name for legal purposes, i otherwise go by nickname given from my father , which is wendy. GOD BLESS

My name is Valinda. It is an unusual name. (my mom made it up......or so she thought!) My nick-name is Val, which is easier for people to pronounce, but when people want to call me by me full name, they usually call me Valerie.......so, I have to explain my name and its spelling quite a lot. Don't mind most of the time, but there are times when I DON'T like being called "Valerie". It's 6 of one, half-dozen of the other.....oh well.

My name is Valinda. I am Scottish/English. In ancient Gaelish, Val means strong or valiant, and Linda is a variant of "lind" which means like a dragon or snake. Therefore, in my ancestry, Valinda means "valiant dragon". I love the name and think it is unique.

My middle name is Valinda, my first name is Catherine. Childhood friends calls me Linda othe's call me Cathy. I have travelled the world and I prefer Valinda. I am so glad to hear of othe's! Let's just live up to our name!

I am also called Valinda. I am from South Africa. I only know 2 Valinda's in South Africa and would love to know whether there are any more of us in South Africa. I was born one day after my grandmother (obviously years later) and she had the privilage to name me. She heard my name from SI'mbamba (a children's radio program). I don't mind people calling me Belinda, Melinda or Vanilla, but I take care in correcting them, so that they know my real name. I think it is very special and unique. I get a lot of compliments on my name and love it!!

My name is Valinda and my mom thought she made it up using her name and my sisters name: (Val)erie and Rosa(linda) - one L. haha yeah well now we see how that turned out. Ever'since i was little I have been complimented on my name and how beautiful it is. I absolutely love my name and my dream is to one day visit the city Valinda in California that i found out about like a year ago.

Valeria is my name and I of course I love it. In my country this name is quite ordinary, so everybody pronounce and spell right. There is also a male form of Valeria - Valera and it irritates me very much when someone calls me Valera. I'm a girl not a boy!!!

My name is Valinda and people think I'm a snob because of my name!

I have always loved my name. Unique and original. In grade school they called me Vanilla because for some odd reason, Valinda was hard to remember. I have been at my current job 5 years now, and since I was hired, they've hired a Linda and a Melinda. Now I just go by "V".

my late sister was named 'Valinda' at her birth in 1969. she too was named after a comic strip character during that time. unfortunately my sister was a bit of hell on wheels person and no one will ever used her name for future family members. my cousins called her 'Bullinda' behind her back. even so, I'miss her very much.

I am another Valinda and love my name. My mom said it came from a comic strip in the'state I was born. I have enjoyed the uncommon name and know it is very unique. I wouldn't change it......

My name is Va Lynda Ann. I was teased terribly as a child about my name. Most of my classmates insinuated that I was African American, I'm Caucasian. I was very petite, blonde and have green eyes. However, the name has always brought me stren'th and a uniqueness that I love! I have never met anyone with my name, but have been called by many other names. Melinda, Belinda, Zalinda, Ralinda. My nicknames growing up were Vanilla, Val, Vab, and Bubbles. I couldn't be happier with my name and love having a name that'starts with a "V" for Valentine. Hello out there to all those who are blessed with such a majestic and unique name!

This is my youngest daughters name and I LOVE IT!! I call her LEE for short!

My name is Valinda too. I enjoyed the'stories about my name. So much of what everyone said sounded very! very! familiar. I too am frequently referred to as Belinda, Melinda, and Valerie or Val. I once had a client who decided to name their child after me and called her Belinda. Oh well! I guess It's the thought that counts The only thing I know about where my name came from was that it came from the obituary colume of "The Canton Repository." Valentine is a very old family name. My Father's first name is Val. He was named after his Grandfather, Valentine. My Mother decided to name my sister and I after our Father. My sister is named Valerie. They were looking for a name with Val in it for me, and found Valinda in the Obituary colume of our local newspaper. Just in case your curious, the obituary was for the girl's Father. She was listed as survivor. I'met her about a decade ago, and asked her were her name came from. She'said her Father, who was an English Teacher at a local High School, made the name up after'seeing the play "Johnny Belinda."

My name is Valinda also. I am from San Antonio, Texas. Yes I LOVE MY NAME. I AM UNIQUE. I would love to meet other Valinda's someday. I think it would be FUN.

Her'sister lived in CA. near Valinda,CA. I don't know if that's where she got it from. I'm not sure I always liked it as a child as my initials were V.W.-always last and I thought It'strange no one else had my name.

Hi all, as you all my name is "Valinda" and yes everyone misspells it. I tell them "V" as in Victory. Did some research years ago and found the name is a form of "Val" meaning strong, but with a female suffix "inda".. I was born in "57" in Long Beach, Ca. to a Navy couple who lived in Los Angelos County at the time. . Also had a great aunt who was also named Valinda. The first Valinda I'met is when I saw a restaurant by that name. I had to stop and meet this other Valinda who sat in a booth with a broken leg. Met a few since then.

My name is Zipporah which is also a unique biblical name but my younger'sister name is Valinda and it is quite inter'sting. i love her name and no one pronounces it wrong at all.

I am Valinda as well! I get so many compliments about my name'so I am honored that my mother chose it for me! Hello to all you other Valinda's!!

I AM VALINDA AND MY DAD SAID MY NAME AS IF IT WAS WRITTEN "VA LYNN DA" WITH THE LYNN AS THE MAIN SOUND OF THE NAME. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A POPULAR FRENCH ACTRESS IN 1963, THE YEAR I WAS BORN. DAD SEEMED TO GIVE MY NAME A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PRONUNCIATION THAN ANYONE ELSE NAMED VALINDA OR THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD OF. IT IS USUALLY PRONOUNCED WRONG. NOT ONE PERSON HAS EVer'sAID IT LIKE MY DAD AND I WOULD THINK HE WOULD KNOW WHAT HE NAMED ME. I WAS TOLD BY A WOMAN FROM BRAZIL THAT IT WAS A PORTUGUESE AND POSSIBLY FRENCH NAME. THAT DID NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME. IN MEXICO I WAS CALLED BELINDA AND THAT WAS TERRIBLE AS NONE OF THEM COULD SAY THE "V" SOUND ANY WAY., BUT WERE WONDERFUL PEOPLE. AS I HAVE ALREADY SAID, I HAVE NEVER MET ANYONE WITH The'sAME NAME THAT SOUNDS LIKE MINE, EVEN IF IT IS SPELLED The'sAME.
