Love as a first name

Can you tell I’ve been re-watching You?

Every time I watch this show I am surprised by how much I love the character’s name - Love.

My children are Tabitha and Reuben so I don’t think I could ever use Love as a sibling name. It would sound too odd alongside such normal biblical names, plus I don’t think I’d have the courage anyway!

But is it me, or is it actually quite a nice name? (I do have a tendency to get obsessed with the names of whatever show I’m watching.

Last week, I watched The Haunting of Hill House and decided I was going to name my daughter Theodora or Eleanore. So I’ll probably have a new name obsession when I watch the next shop!)

I am Scandinavian and it is a name there, not very common now though but I had a few boys always boys who had that name at school, but it's pronounced LouvE as in you pronounce the E at the end and the o is long. Wouldn't name my kid here though but did have Lova as a girls name which I still love, that would have been pronounced Louva

Love Cox?

I’m not actually considering using it 😂 it’s just a character on a TV show! I always love the name when I watch the show! But I’d never be brave enough IRL

Nothing to say except both You and The Haunting of Bly Manor (sequel to The Haunting of Hill House) have the excellent actress Victoria Pedretti in it!! 😁She plays Love Quinn in You. And no, I dislike the name Love but I do really like your childrens names!

She is actually also in The Haunting of Hill House as Eleanor!!! Which was another of your names. Very lovely woman.
