    It is the first name of Vibia Perpetua, a pre catholic saint and martyr who is one of the “They were Roommates” historical figures. https://amedievalwomanscompanion.com/perpetua/

    She is considered a saint of the sapphics and trans people, because she saw herself as a man in a dream.

    BTW I’m not religious at all, it sounds great, starts with a V and the story is cool.

      Your name is so cool Vibia! I love the backstory, makes it even cooler. Btw do you prefer to be referred to by both your names or is Valentine your middle name?

        Valentine is like my main thing, you know? My dead name is a hispanization of Valentine or Valentinus. I’m really attached to it. I’m still not sure if I want Valentine as a middle or Last Name. If I get some other Lastname, maybe it would be Lovelace. Or if I marry my BF (In my country we can’t get married, so that most be done in another country), I would get his last name.

        So, in short, I like how Vibia sounds with Valentine and the story is cool, and I like having it as a first name.
