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

@HowardKirksConscience 🤣 I used to live in Cove! You've hit the nail on the head!

Neither...but girl I'd say.

It’s just a derogatory term - for a man. “Old cove.”

Small world - I used to live in Cove too (well, Rafborough, which was administratively part of Cove). It was OK when the kids were small but I wouldn't like to live there as a free agent who had a life - there was nothing whatsoever to do in the whole town!

Not a name for a person or an animal imo

Is cove a girls name or a boy name?

No.

A rum cove is the phrase that springs to mind.

It's really not a name. It's not even a particularly attractive word, unlike celery or tibia.

It's a small coastal inlet, not a name. Put the Scrabble bag down...

If you Google it, it's described as a gender neutral nature name like River. I would say more suitable for a boy

Snugglemonkey · 29/03/2023 20:13

It is not a person name.

GreenLeavesRustling · 29/03/2023 20:16

No, it’s not a name.

I prefer Splash

It's Bertie Wooster describing one of his mates from the Drones!
Or it's a word from a geography book.

Caleb? Conrad? Connor?

It's unisex to me

DoloresDelEriba · 31/03/2023 20:18

It’s an insult. Not a child’s name.
Give me strength.
