Dove?

[abbieamelia7]

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

It works well if you use Harmonica as a middle name

Coo-l

Better than Wren, but I’m not keen.
‘Duv’ is the likely pronunciation

Will definitely get called Div by kids at school

I’ve been teaching for sixteen years and have heard every insult going but I haven’t heard anyone use ‘div’ since my own schooldays!

Colomba / Columba mean ‘dove’, OP. With a different pronunciation, ‘dove’ means ‘where’ in Italian.

Jemima also means dove

I don’t like it, but it’s not necessarily the avian thing because I do like Wren. Fine as a middle, I’d think twice about it as a first name though (I wouldn’t use Wren as a first name either).

It’s better as a middle name I think. It’s Katy Perry’s baby’s middle name

I think it's fine, actually - it's not THAT associated with soap, much more with the bird. I like it just as much as most other more modern 'nature' names - Wren, River, Wolf, Sage etc.

I quite like it but it may be a hard name to pull off and the soap connection seems quite strong. Jemima means Dove too as does Jonah

Soaps. Sorry. It would decent as a middle name.

For me it-s equally the brand name and the bird but most of all RHOBH's Teddi

Is it more common in the US?

I think it's really pretty

Soap.

Dettol is not a bad name, or Lifebuoy.

Deodorant
Also just a bit soppy (and soapy )
Paloma is nice though

Ridiculous and cruel spring to mind.

Dov is a Jewish boy’s name, so it’s a no from me. Colombe is a pretty French girl name that means dove.

Dov is a Hebrew boy’s name that means bear, if that’s any use?

I really like it. But I think I’d use it as a middle name.

I actually love Dove. I hope you went for it if you liked it that much! X

A bit hippy, but not wild. I think it could work for a girl.

Jonah means dove, or yona (yoh-NAH).

Davina with quirky nickname Dove?

Edit: whoops, didn't realise this was such an old thread! Also interested in whether you went for it...

I love this name! I think Dove is awesome

I think no. I think of the sound of it - duv. It's not a great name for an adult human even as a middle name.
