The most popular names for Valentine's Day babies are Valentina for girls and the classic David for boys. Along with Valentina and David, other Valentine's Day names ranking in the US Top 1000 include Amy, Rhys, Freya, Conor, Esme, and Oscar. Unique names for Valentine's Day babies on our recommended list include Amias, Amedea, Hart, Cordelia, Erasmus, and Kerensa. Along with love, we include here names that mean beloved, heart, and desire, as well as the names of mythical lovers. If you're naming a Valentine's Day baby, consider one of these names connected with love and romance.
