Heart and Cupid are also unique names for romantic parents. Beyonce named her daughter Blue Ivy and Alicia Silverstone named her son Bear Blu -- so why not give your child a colorful name such as Red or Pink?

Virtue names, such as Romance, Hope, Grace or Faith, are also romantic and beautiful names. Your Valentine baby boy can be given the cool names of Valentino, Val or Hart.
