Overall I like this name. I have a mild negative association with it
due to the character on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend being a heinous jerk, but
it's beautiful and easy to pronounce. One of my favorite "Val-" names.
The Spanish commenters below indicate it would be a weird word name for a
baby in Spain. There are some Spanish-speaking contexts where this would
be all right, however: in the Philippines, naming conventions that
would be weird or gauche in other contexts (mashing existing names
together, weird word names, backward spellings of existing words or
names) are pretty common. A baby Valencia with Filipino heritage would
probably work pretty well.
Wikipedia has a page on Filipino naming conventions.

This is also the Spanish word for the chemical concept of valence. It's not considered a personal name in the Spanish-speaking world.

A pretty name but the Valencia I knew was a complete b**** and made this name's image seem evil and rude to me. sigh

I like this name more every time I see it. The meaning, place association, and orange association are wonderful.

Proper Spanish pronunciation would be Bah-lehn-theeah It's strange to see it as a name as it isn't a name in Spain, it's a city and a region in the South-East

Its meaning is "power."
Michaela Says:
This is a place name with strong meaning and origin dating back to hundreds if not thousands of years ago. So Instagram filter or not, it maintains dignity.

This is an Instagram filter.

It might be a little pretentious, but it's flowy and exotic and comes with interesting nicknames - Valley and Sia are two off the top of my head. Starting to like it.

I love it! I generally dislike names ending with uh but this is cute!
Myosotis Says:
I love Valencia especially for the meaning it gives to my fave girls combo (there's a combined meaning though the whole name). Sometimes I waver on it, but it just works so well! I've grown to love it so much, I don't think I can change to now. :)

i don't know why this name isn't more popular: it's beautiful, works in multiple languages, is familiar enough to pronounce/spell, is the name of a beautiful city, has a lovely meaning... but i can't say i mind that it isn't popular! less to worry about! :)

I also associate Valencia with the character from Crazy Ex-Grilfriend, but did you watch the later seasons? She becomes a really interesting character and I came to love her after a while, which made the association more positive for me. She's just awful in the beginning really, and it's largely because she's in an unsatisfying relationship with Josh. Very interesting to know about the Filipino naming conventions though!
