I like them. I'm fond of the name Matteo, and Valentino ages well.

I think he should have come out of the closet already, like Clay Aiken did! ;P

Seriously, though- I like the names especially Matteo.

I like them and his babies are soooo cute!

Italian names spelled properly, bonus points to him.
But let me say Valentino, although a legit male name, is considered quite feminine around here.

Two famous namesakes are stylist Valentino (known for his queer looks) and Valentino Rossi, motorbike celebrity, but not the most macho man alive.

I just find it odd considering it in the same picture with the gay rumors around Ricky Martin himself.

Considering Ricky latin backgound I think the names were more inspired on that, they are very common spanish names (spelled correctly too! props for him). So, this is why I think the Valtentino thing makes more sense in spanish.

I knew Mateo was the spanish version, is Matteo also a legit spanish version?

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we use both spellings and I see Matteo a lot more lately too...

I love Matteo! I like Valentine more than Valentino but it's also very nice.

I like them both, but everyone I ever knew named Valentino or Valentina always ended up getting called Tino or Tina.

I like the nickname Tino for a boy. I went to school with a Tino. His brother Joey was really Guiseppe. I think I spelled that wrong. Giuseppe? Anyways, now I'm curious if Tino was his full name, or if it was short for something...
