Anybody up?

We have decided on a first name, but can't pick a middle name...

First name is Elvia, last name Martinez (I figure this last name is so popular that it doesn't matter if I share it.. haha). 

My husband likes the mn Valentine.  Any ideas?  What do you think of the combo?

    I think Valentine is a great middle name. I also like the name Valentina for a first name with your last name- esp because I'm not crazy about your first name (but realize that's not what you were asking)

    I don't love Elvia, reminds me of "elfy" but anyway I really like Valentine, more so Valentina. I don't like it with Elvia, because I feel like the stress is on the "Vi" in Elvia, so to start with another "V" sound doesn't flow for me. I grew up as a Natalie Lynn and never thought it flowed properly.

    Oh the opinions people give.  This is part of the reason why we're not sharing the name until my little girl is out of me.  If you like Elivia, use it!  I do not however like Valentine with it...something about the 2 Vs being so close together.  But like I said before, if you like it, use it!

    Since you asked, I don't like the name, but it's not my kid so who cares what I think :)

    I know you weren't asking for opinions on the first name, but I don't like Elvia at all.  I do like Valentine for a middle name though.
