Am I just hormonal or is this as beautiful as I think it sounds?

I think it's a beautiful name but probably better off as a middle name. Not sure what a first name could be though. I think Amelia Loveday is a lovely name but Amelia's very popular at the moment and you say you don't want that.

Hard to grow up with. Hard to live with. Would probably make me into a grumpy cow!

CrazyChristmasLady · 17/12/2010 19:35

Bloody awful. Blame the hormones and move on. Xmas Smile

I read a book once with a character called Loveday...a wonderful elderly Quaker lady IIRC. So to me it's a nice, peaceful sort of name. V pretty!

I'm sorry, but it sounds like a porn star name. It is OK as a middle name but as a first name it will be open to all sorts of mickey taking and not all of it pleasant.

starfishmummy · 17/12/2010 17:51

I think that when your DD starts her career as a porn star Loveday will be just fine..!!
Xmas Grin

I read about a Loveleen somwhere. (Indian woman i think). That is just beautiful I think.

redrobin · 17/12/2010 17:10

i was at uni with a Loveday...she was utterly gorgeous. and nice. i'd go for it and bollocks to the non-romantics!

PuppyMonkey · 17/12/2010 17:07

Think of what bullying school lads will do with a name like that.

I like lovejoy better anyway Grin

flutterNflounce · 17/12/2010 17:02

I meant I'm coming round to the idea that it's best as a mn!

flutterNflounce · 17/12/2010 17:01

You've been much more positive than I expected. I've fallen foul of choosing a very popular name before it came fashionable and I don't want to do it again.

I am thinking of a middle name - but what could I put with it (have a very English common surname).

FoxyRevenger · 17/12/2010 15:34

Eeek twee twee cutesy yuck. Hormones woman, we've all been there Grin

KERALA1 · 17/12/2010 13:21

I would think unusable outside Cornwall and I am generally supportive of names that dont follow the crowd. A friend of a friend has a step daughter named this. When calling her in the park the friend mutters to innocent bystanders that the little girl is not actually hers and she didnt choose the name. Therefore it definitely fails the "can you yell it down the supermarket aisle" test.

LeakMyWiki · 17/12/2010 13:21

I love it!

LetThereBeRock · 17/12/2010 13:18

You're hormonal. It's awful.

AllieW · 17/12/2010 13:02

I think it's a pretty middle name! Seem to remember that there was a character in the Chalet School series who bore it.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 17/12/2010 11:44

Bloody horrible. Even as a middle name. Twas the surname of a family of villains I went to school with.

belgo · 17/12/2010 11:40

Is it a boy or girl's name?

I know a little boy called Love.

I think it's very pretty and Lovie is a cute nn.

Valpollicella · 17/12/2010 00:48

As a traditional Cornish name it is lovely, if a bit of a mouthful :)

I don't like it at all, sorry.

Greenwing · 16/12/2010 23:26

Use it as a middle name?
Too embarrassing for most people, unless they are destined for future extrovert stardom!

AngryPixie · 16/12/2010 22:32

OH ONIMOLAP me too.

If I had another DD I would use it as a middle name.
