Valentina/Valentino

For a romantic spin on the word “Valentine,” consider naming your son Valentino or your daughter Valentina. Both monikers mean “healthy” and “strong.” In pop culture, model Adriana Lima and actress Salma Hayek named their daughters Valentina, while Italian haute couture designer Valentino Garavani is famous in the fashion industry.

Romeo

This Italian/Latin name means “pilgrimage to Rome.” But thanks to William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, a play about two star-crossed lovers in Verona, it’s often associated with passionate romance. David and Victoria Beckham named their son Romeo in the early 2000s, which helped the name gain popularity today.

Juliet

Juliet was Romeo’s lover in the famous 16th century tragedy by William Shakespeare. The romantic name, which means “youthful,” rolls pleasurably off the tongue.
