Great for boats.

JambalayaCodfishPie · 06/08/2013 16:03

As in seaside/bay/sandy?

I don't know, I don't think so.

KnittedWaffle · 06/08/2013 16:03

Sounds too much like 'Gove' for my liking.

Notimpressedhm · 06/08/2013 16:05

Yes for a boy.

I'm not keen- it's not really a name is it?

Somethingyesterday · 06/08/2013 16:08

It is not a name. Unless it is in a language other than English.

Caitycat · 06/08/2013 16:09

No! Made me think of the (admittedly old-fashioned) expression"he's a strange cove"!

Naebother · 06/08/2013 16:11

Gaelic slang for boy I think.

gymboywalton · 06/08/2013 16:12

i think it's not a name

Somethingyesterday · 06/08/2013 16:13

Ah! So equivalent to Guy then?

How is it pronounced?

Pobblewhohasnotoes · 06/08/2013 16:17

A beach, not a name.

dancemom · 06/08/2013 16:18

Yes slang for a young man, pronounced the same as sandy beach area

Think "all right cove, how are ya?"

FYI, female equivalent to cove would be blone, pronounced blown

"No bad blone, how's yourself?"

Very Bertie Woster 'what ho, I say what a frightful cove he is'

I think Charlie Brooker's son is called Cove although I may be wrong.

squeak2392 · 06/08/2013 21:38

Don't like it personally, but I think that's more because it doesn't sound finished. Would sound better with something on the end.

Dare I suggest Kovu or Kovi?

capitola · 06/08/2013 21:40

I think it's silly.

Rhubarbgarden · 06/08/2013 22:44

Would result in a lifetime of dealing with people saying "What?" after saying his name.

Alisvolatpropiis · 06/08/2013 22:52

There are so many innuendoes possible it pains me you're considering it.

PassTheTwiglets · 07/08/2013 07:41

Charlie Brooker's son is Covey.

Queazy · 07/08/2013 09:35

Is that really a name? I've heard of Covey, but as a surname turned first name x

Leeds2 · 07/08/2013 09:58

No. I don't think it is a name.
