Longer name for Lovey

[erint09]

We LOVE the name Lovey for a little girl, but obviously for more professional circumstances/later life it wouldn't be appropriate. Any ideas for what Lovey could be a nickname for?

Lovey is what someone from up north (like me) would call a random person as a term of endearment.

"Y'alright loveh?"

Or it could be a bad porn star's fake name. Just don't.

I know a couple of baby girls called Lovella

Loveday, Lowenna, Lovisa,

Strangelove

The only real name I can come up with is Loveday.
Lovisa is a jewellery brand.
I really would just pick a name you like and then call her lovey as her nickname.

That’s what Kris Jenner’s grandchildren call her.
I don’t know how I know this- all my Kardashian knowledge is against my will!

Lovisa
Lovina
Lovelia

What about something with a meaning related to love, like Carys or Amanda?

Like the Teletubby?

Oh dear, doesn’t sound like u have thought this through, use a proper name and just call her lovey at home.

Gifty is a girl's name from Ghana. I know a very sweet young Gifty, it's a lovely name.

It comes across as pretty ignorant to compare a perfectly normal name from another culture to a made up name like Lovey.

If you don't recognise the name, Google is your friend.

Our little boy is called Bon-bon at home, doesn't mean we named him Bonathan or Bonald.

Bonathan😂

Loveydovey would work.

Alternatively you could just do what the rest of us do - pick a name you like and then call her lovey or any of the other terms of endearment that exist.

This. I call DD all manner of silly food-based nicknames. None of them are related to her actual name. Just call her Eleanor, or Sarah or Eugenia and use Lovey at home.

I used to call DS Squidget. (No relation to his name, he was just squidgy). He's 6 foot now, it wore off some time ago.

Desdemona and she could be Dipsy
Tiana and she could be Tinky Winky
Patricia and Po?

I cannot stress enough, along with most other pp, that you absolutely shouldn't call your child Lovey as an actual name. A family nickname is fine and doesn't need to bear any relation to her official name. Lovey is a generic name anyway, it's just like calling your child Poppet or Darling.

Having said all that, if you really insist on Lovey being related to her actual name, why not go for the word love/beloved in a different language? Plenty of real names are derived from love: Amata, Amanda, and Amy, for example, all derive from the Latin (some of them via French).

I needed a bit of a laugh this afternoon! Thanks! 😂😂😂

Came here to say this. Just move hup North, we'll all call her Lovey anyway.

But please put a decent name on her birth certificate.

Going against the majority but I like it. Its better than a lot of the wacky names out there. I love Loveday as a longer name.

I've got it.... Lovehoney...
Lovey for short...
The Gifty we know isn't from the beautiful place meantioned...

Maybe use Google to check out my new suggestion...

Just call her Lovey on a day to day basis and have a 'normal 'name for public use.
If you are dead set on Lovey then Loveday is the obvious choice ; Lorelei at a stretch maybe ?

I knew a little girl called Lovica.
