Is Cove a girl’s name or a boy’s name?

[21redroses]

I love the name Cove, but does it suit a girl or a boy?

It's an abbreviation for a respiratory disease that was very trendy a year or two back. Sounds a bit dated now to be honest.

😃😃

Other way round surely?

Then you can call the boy Al .

It suits a beach.

When Al/Cove has a sibling, you can consider Lagoon. Or Pool. I think they are more unisex.

Or if you don't want unisex, Pool for a boy and Poole for a girl.

Its a coastal bay or inlet. Not a child's name. Ridiculous.

Well its not a name at all IMO.

I would imagine it's more for a girl in modern terms, It's very different but if you like it go for it ☺️

Neither

Neither. It’s a derogatory term for a male. Sort of a Del Boy unsavoury type of character

He’s a right spivey cove.

I’m afraid I’m with the others. Don’t do it

Neither - it's a geographical feature.

Let's just pluck any word and turn it into a name 🙄

Save this name for your pet goldfish

Good name for a beach

Either a bit like door would be or glade

🙄 Ignore all the sarcastic posters whose kids probably have top 10 names OP.

I'd say Cove is a girls name.
I actually really love Cova but it's kind of unusable now after Covid.

This.

Or just given their children actual names.

Honestly think people posting things like this are doing it just to have a secret giggle about maybe having encouraged someone to name their child something ridiculous.

Dodgy name. Sexual undertones. He sailed his boat into her cove!

Ah, the classic snide (and incorrect) attempt at a put down.

It feels very surfery to me….so masculine (yes I know females surf but it was predominantly a male sport in terms of popularity and competitions etc).

I like it but I think it’s definitely a location dependent name. It would be a bit weird calling someone cove who lives miles from the sea/beach IMO.

It’s out there that’s for sure.
I think it’s masculine.
I live in East London where you are very likely to come across a Xylo, Rhubarb, Cloudy (I’ve not made those names up!)

"Cove" is English slang for man, a bit like "bloke" or "chap" or US "guy". It's not quite derogatory but has a patronising overtone of lower status. Its not a good name for any child IMO.

I'm guessing that you are mispronouncing and mis-spelling the Irish name
Caoimhe (girls name, sounds like kweeva). Don't lumber your baby with a name you can't spell or pronounce, it just sounds pretentious.

Or Beach. Or Sandy. Or Stony.

How about Clover for a girl or Clovis for a boy
