Hiii cute trans people, my name is valentine, but it doesn't sound good with my last name at all, so I was wondering if you can help me find a full name that sounds cute.

I don't really plan to use it on legal documents yet (it is a nightmare to legally change my legal name in my country), but it might sound better online and to introduce myself. I would appreciate suggestions uwu.

Valentine Sday

Casiano if are looking for something that won't draw attention. Heartsmith if you want something cute and eye-catching.
- someone I know has a last name of "Breedlove" 👀
  
  Sounds like an incel self help author:
  "Stop Simping! The absolute dating guide for sigma males" - By Chad Breedlove.

Valentine Roberta Le'Bussy

You might want to start by looking at common last names for a region you identify with.
e.g. here's a list of common surnames in England/Wales (Picked because I'm British myself)
If I had to pick from that particular list, I might go with:
Valentine Yates
Valentine May
Valentine Frost
(also several borderline puns such as Valentine Hart, Valentine Rose, Valentine Day)
e: Oh also, I honestly didn't think my full name flowed very well initially. But I got used to it over time!

Perpetua was a female saint who many consider to have been gay. She is cited as a patros saint of lesbians. She also had a dream about turning in to a man.
As a saint, its a thematic pair with valetine, but not used as a first name for centuries.
The name also signals intent to endure and live even in the face of adversity.
- It is absolutely amazing, I didn't know about her. I wasn't very sure about Perpetua, like, Valentine Perpetua. But then I started reading and see that her first name was Vibia. Vibia Valentine sounds cool, it might work. I'll see if it sticks.
  BTW I'm not lesbian, I'm bisexual in a relationship with a cis man. Hopefully I'm not appropriating anything from lesbians, lol.
  
  Vibia Valetine sounds cool as fuck. Thats awesome! And like, I don't think people will mind, some people also call her the patron saint of trans people.
  
  As a lesbian, you're good. 🙂

Pronounced væləntain with an "eye" sound or væləntin with an "ee" sound? Or some other variation?
- Not sure if others pronounce it differently, but I would say val (as in value) en (enter) tine (t eye n)
  
  That's how I pronounce it too! Jw because idk what country OP is from, nor their first language. So they might pronounce it differently, and I'd pair different surnames depending on pronunciation
