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

I'm afraid I think it sounds like a posh version of joey tribianis naked wednesdays. each to their own but would your little one thank you for it aged 21 filling in job applications? Confused

TheMonster · 16/12/2010 20:37

don't be ridiculous.

usualsuspect · 16/12/2010 20:38

Its a name I love, but would never use

2madboys · 16/12/2010 20:50

Reminds me of Loveday Carey-Lewis (think that was the surname) in the Camomile Lawn. Lovely name, but wouldn't be brave enough to use it. I think most dh's would veto it too!

FingonTheValiantReindeer · 16/12/2010 20:52

Lovely name, dh vetoed it, I can understand why

panettoinydog · 16/12/2010 20:52

hello sun, hello clouds

Far too fotherington-thomas. You are hormone-heavy

I love it- have done since I was a teenager.

onimolap · 16/12/2010 22:19

I think it's a wonderful name - reminds me of Loveday Minette in "A Little White Horse". Probably works best if you have Cornish lineage.

TheBolter · 16/12/2010 22:19

Sorry but it's retch-tastic.

How about Sunday? It's a bit twee but a lot nicer. (Of course you'll have to try and make sure your baby's born on a Sunday but if your mind's open to intervention that's certainly possible!)

RockinRobinBird · 16/12/2010 22:21

Love it. Agree it works best with a Cornish background if you have one (make one up if not! Wink)

AngryPixie · 16/12/2010 22:32

OH ONIMOLAP me too.

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

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!

ShoppingDays · 17/12/2010 00:32

I don't like it at all, sorry.

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

CheerfulYank · 17/12/2010 01:47

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

Is it a boy or girl's name?

I know a little boy called Love.

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.

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.

LetThereBeRock · 17/12/2010 13:18

You're hormonal. It's awful.

LeakMyWiki · 17/12/2010 13:21

I love it!

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.

FoxyRevenger · 17/12/2010 15:34

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