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?

I thought calling a boy "Sonny" was bad.

Loviah

Lucy
Dove
Lowen

Lauren with a lisp?

It's Cornish. Means happy/joyful.

If you can get Lala from Larissa, would any name that starts with Lo work?

Lola
Lois
Loretta
Lottie
Lorelai
Lowri
Lorna
Louisa

Wooden tit be lovely?

Exactly my first thought… I think OP should consider Tinky Winky or Dipsy to stick with the theme

The Christian virtue of love is more formally called charity, so that's the name that goes alongside the other virtue names. It wouldn't be my number one baby name choice, but I guess it might be ok as a real name for which Lovey could be the nickname.

Although I'm still not sure why parents would choose the nickname before the child is born, don't they usually just grow organically from family dynamics? That's how I got Squiblet and Mini-Fink and Wren. They're certainly not names we planned!

Jimberly for the win!

I had a friend at school called Lovelynn.

Lala and Lovey? 🤔

Loveleigh-Jubbleigh

Exactly, Jesus Christ do you not remember how brutal school is?!

Your daughter deserves a name that will be suitable as a child and as an adult and that won't lead to being bullied. Call her your pet name at home but don't call her it on her birth certificate.

In a similar , in my mind, vein how about Dot(ty) or Doll (y) for Dora or Dorothy?

the name Anna is really nice op, what about that?

I was reminded of this thread today as I passed a guy unloading his van outside the local Indian restaurant. I paused as he was unloading across the pavement to let him finish and he said to me "sorry lovey"...

Lala and Lovey. Perhaps she gives birth to TeleTubbies.

Havent read the whole thread but guessing you’ve considered that Lovey (like Pip, Bean, Buddy, Sonny, Missy etc) could be a nickname for anything but want something more closely related. I’d suggest the genuine but rare Cornish beauty Loveday as a middle name and then call her Lovey as her nn. Alexandra Loveday, Cecilia Loveday, Helena Loveday? All work well with Larissa imo.

Or you could give her an L first name like her sister and then use a middle name starting with V - so initial LV equals Lovey.

I was going to suggest Lavinia, then saw you already have Larissa.

Clover would be a not so obvious long name; bit out there, though easy enough to shorten to Lovey.

Larissa and Clover goes well together.

This. My mum used to call me Lovey because it was a general local term of affection.

Valentina, however, is a gorgeous name. Unusual, and very grown up and expensive sounding!
