Dove?

[abbieamelia7]

Don’t think we’ll use it for this baby but just brainstorming? What do you think of Dove?

What about Woodcock or Pigeon?

Soap

Forever called Div at school ... no

No, that's not a name. It's a bird or a brand of soap.

Paloma means dove if that helps.

Palmolive? Imperial leather?

Soap, sorry OP think again.

Soap. Or possibly antiperspirant.

Another soap, sorry.

I have used dove for years, it’s a good soap

Camay
Carbolic
Pears

Oops I keep missing the title of the board ... you mean the name for your child.

Sounds like a good name (pay no attention to the brand name to soap, there are so many soaps named after people anyhow)

Your kid is going to grow up. Is it as good at 40 as it as at 4?

Dove is soap and a bird.

I liked it as a middle name but my mum laughed and it put me off.

Katy Perry's daughter is Daisy Dove.

I suppose you could get away with it for a fun, off-beat middle name - but unlike Lark, Robin, Wren etc, I think Dove in the UK would make people think of soap as much as the bird as it isn't commonly used as a given name.

It makes me think of the soap.

It's a perfectly nice name - I know one aged 40ish and it suits her well. She's an English teacher, in the US. Dove is a soap in the US too.

I would say go for it.

A woman named Dovey Roundtree was absolutely remarkable, and her achievements are very inspiring. Ever since learning about her I have loved the name Dovey.

Terrible.

Dove Cameron sprang immediately to mind. Dd loves her in the descendants movies.

I quite like it. Far better than Wren, which is often suggested on here. And which is just as much a brand of kitchen as Dove is a soap.

I really like it.

Ugh. Just no.

I mis-read it as "Dave'.
I think that might happen on forms etc in the future.

Deodorant/soap etc. Sorry.

What about Lark?

Dove is also the name of galaxy chocolate in the USA.
I think Paloma sounds a little nicer but I've heard worse names.
