Thoughts on Loveday

It's was my husband's grandmother's name and I've always been quite fond of it. We've discounted it so far in our name searching for baby on the way, but now considering it again - either as a first or middle name.

I'm interested to hear people's first impressions of it...

I've always loved it, and it was on the shortlist for DD.

Ignore the bullying comments OP.

(Horrible) kids could make insults out of the most common of names. I really wouldn't let that unlikely scenario affect my name choice.

You love the name and it has familial significance. Do it!

I love it! I know someone who has Loveday as a middle name.

Thanks everyone. Yes it is Cornish, and we have links to Cornwall as well.

I'm not too bothered about the bullying aspect to be honest, kids always find something, even with the most normal and familiar names. I'm Hannah and got called all sorts!

Why will the child be bullied? Must we make every decision for our children based on whether some ignorant little child with low self esteem might make a remark some day?

Theres a 10 year old in Dc's class called Loveday. The child isn't bullied, and her peers don't even comment.

There are so many youneeq names out there these days I don't think it'll raise an eyebrow.

So if you love it, go for it :)

I knew a beautiful girl with the name, I think it's pretty.

NotTodaySatan · 10/09/2015 11:04

I think it's really lovely.

It's Cornish isn't it?

LaContessaDiPlump · 10/09/2015 11:03

First response is are you serious?!

Second response is oh..... how unusual.

Third response is SHIT that child will be bullied at school.

Hope that helps!!

I thought it was a surname to be honest.
