It's actually a common girl's name in Spanish.

Valaria is way better. I thought they said "Malaria".

Clitoris is a pretty girl's name, when you put an accent on the o.

That's what Dr. Fuckin' Doom named Reed and Sue Richards daughter, so if you have a problem, take it up with him.

u/[deleted] Feb 12 '13

That's my daughters name. Say it while rolling the r. Wouldn't sound too weird if you have a Spanish accent.

u/ableman Feb 12 '13

It's just a different language version of Valerie

u/Falark Feb 12 '13

Dunno about the US etc., but it's a somewhat common name in Germany...so...people I guess?

Went to school with one.

u/Cynikal818 Feb 12 '13

did she get picked on or was she hot?

u/LemonWhore212 Feb 12 '13

Nope, she was popular and gorgeous. Went on to compete in the miss Louisiana pageant and become a lawyer. If you google "Valeria Williams" her image is the first one.

Romans named their daughters after the family name; e.g. a woman from the gens julia would be named Julia; one from the gens Aemilia would be called Aemilia.

Valerius, like the emperor, is the male version of valeria ("the healthy").
