Get ready for Valentine’s Day with these love inspired baby names, and date night ideas!

Darker nights and freezing temperatures might not be your favourite time of the year, but it’s not all doom and gloom. February is finally here, meaning Spring is well on it’s way to us.  But it’s not just spring that we’re excited about at GiftsOnline4U.

In just a short while, the UK will be celebrating Valentine’s Day, a hotly anticipated day for many couples and loved up hopefuls. And let’s face it, Injecting a bit of love into these difficult times is the best way to put a smile on your loved one’s face.

Whilst we might know the story of our own relationships, what is the real story of Valentine’s Day, and why do we celebrate Valentine’s Day?

The history of Valentine’s Day is shrouded in mystery, but what is clear, is that February has been celebrated as a month of romance for a long time. 

One legend says it is in celebration of St. Valentine. St Valentine was a Roman priest who defied a Roman emperor. The Emperor decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine disagreed with these restrictions, so he continued to perform marriages for young lovers. Unfortunately, Valentine was caught marrying two lovers, and was sentenced to death. 

Of course, we don’t face these types of laws anymore, and people are free to express their love however they like. In fact, some people are so loved up, they want their kids to feel the love too!

Coming up with a name for your child can be a difficult decision. With so many lovely names to choose from, it can be difficult to narrow down. But for some people, there’s inspiration to be found in love.

Taking inspiration from romance makes for lovely names, so we decided to look into ONS data of baby names from 1996 to 2019 what loved up names are most popular. 

The data showed that the name Valentina was the most popular for girls with 2024 babies being given the name. 1981 babies were named Romeo, making it the most popular loved up name for a boy.

Other names included, Valentino (621) for a boy, Desiree (239) for a girl and Amor (16) for both boys and girls.

If someone you know has just had a baby, why not surprise them a personalised Christening Certificate Holder. Or perhaps help them to start their child’s savings with this personalised Money Box Cube. Why not help them to decorate their child’s bedroom with this beautiful photo frame?

Of course you can’t have a movie night without popcorn, so grab our personalised Popcorn Bowl to really enjoy the occasion. If your tastes are more savoury, channel your inner food stylist, and grab your favourite cheeses to make a stunning and delicious cheese board!
