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?

Just use Lovey as a nickname?
My kid has over ten variations of name!

Tinkly winky, Dipsy or Po?

Lovey? It’s like calling a child Darling!! 😂

Awful.

I just can't saying it in a broad Yorkshire accent. Y'alright luvvie?!

Terrible, son't saddle your child with a name like that.

Lovelace.

But seriously. Don't. Who picks a daft nickname before deciding on a proper name.

Loretta ?

Is it common to pick the nickname both before a given name and before the baby is born? Do nicknames not just appear as time goes on?

My father still calls me by a name which no-one else ever uses and is as far removed from my name as you could possibly imagine. It most certainly wasn't agreed by my parents before I was born.

Lovena as already suggested is nice.

I actually really liked the name ‘love’ from the Netflix show YOU. It suited her but I can’t imagine a child in real life being called it

Lala and Lovey? Seriously?????????

People will spell her name Luvvie and think she's a rather fey actor.

@Kelly51 In a normal world I would assume that "Lala" is a nickname that evolved - like the child themselves learning to say their name and only managing the "La" bit.
But this is Mumsnet where people seem to give their children a nickname before they're even born which I find really odd 😂

How about Spendilove?

How about Loverly? Then in true MN tradition, your next baby can be Jimberly.

Sorry OP I'm not usually one to say anything negative about someone's choice of name, even when friends have called their child Parker of Jaxon (cringe!) but Lovey - that's just not good at all, sorry!

I think it's a terrible idea, but if you must, can I suggest Clover ?

Makes me think of the song from My Fair Lady.
