Carys - I would 100% use this, I think it's beautiful.

Freya or Aphrodite - goddesses of love (Norse & Greek)

Cariad, which is Welsh for love

I think Hiba / Heba mean love in Arabic. Might be wrong though.

Cornishmumofone · 12/03/2021 14:30

Kerenza

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 12/03/2021 14:38

Cara/Kara means beloved.

PurBal · 12/03/2021 14:42

Caritas. I desperately want to used this name if we have a daughter. It's Latin.

SoCrimeaRiver · 12/03/2021 14:43

I loved Megumi for our DD, but we have a M surname and the alliteration didn't work. It means Blessed.

PattyPan · 12/03/2021 14:43

Minne (pronounced Minna) in German it's the word for courtly love like knights/princesses type of thing.
Cara/Carina means dear

I thought Mary meant bitter?

Twizbe · 12/03/2021 14:49

Cerys / Carys. Both wonderful names that mean beloved

bridgetreilly · 12/03/2021 15:16

Mara is bitter, but not the same name as Mary.

OP, what about Loveday? It may not actually mean Love, but it literally says Love.

Makiwa · 12/03/2021 15:25

Annabel means loving/loveable.

MumsThewordw02 · 12/03/2021 15:27

I love the name Loveday.

Sarcobaleno · 12/03/2021 15:27

Imogen means Beloved Child 😍

WhoAreYah · 12/03/2021 15:28

Esmé means loved.

MrsCalypsoGrant · 12/03/2021 15:28

@Cornishmumofone I was going to suggest Kerenza. It's my daughter's middle name. I think it's beautiful.

PostmanSpaff · 12/03/2021 15:30

Cara doesn't mean dear (at least spelled like that) it's an Irish name that means friend.

PattyPan · 12/03/2021 15:43

@PostmanSpaff Cara (or caro) means dear in Italian

AnonymousArmadillo · 12/03/2021 15:54

Cara/Kara has different meanings depending on the country. No matter what the meaning, it’s a beautiful name.

I may be biased as it’s DD1’s name
