But I can see where you got your conclusion from...
Please read below:
Valerie is almost always a feminine given name in English, derived directly from the French Valérie (a female-only name) and ultimately from the Latin Valeria. Valerie is also used as a nickname for Valeria. Both are often shortened to Val. Valéry or Valery is a masculine given name in parts of Europe (particularly in France and Russia), as well as a common surname in Francophone countries. Another, much rarer, French masculine form can be Valere.
Are you being called "Valerik" in your country by your friends? :D
'cos that's how I would call you. Vitaly I'd call Vitalik lol. Where I come from, people do that with such Slavic names.
And happy late birthday, by the way.

And thank you very much!

Glad it went well. Is it pretty hot there in the UK, too? Here in Ukraine, it is even hard to withstand at times, and is hard to breathe properly!
Ha ha, glad to be of help mate :-)
