another post :sweat_smile:

been thinking about her a lot recently… but not sold on it. so, what kind of imagery do you get from dove? what are some girls first names like dove?

I like [name_f]Dove[/name_f].

I picture a very calm, sweet little girl, but honestly I feel like I would need to meet a [name_f]Dove[/name_f] to give the name a personality. I do think of the soap brand, but not immediately so could probably be avoidable.

Some names that give me a similar vibe:

[name_f]Wren[/name_f]
[name_f]Lark[/name_f]
[name_f]Blue[/name_f]
[name_f]Belle[/name_f]
[name_f]Soul[/name_f]
[name_f]Soleil[/name_f]
[name_m]Cove[/name_m]
[name_f]Lou[/name_f]
[name_f]Gaia[/name_f]
[name_f]Haven[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]
[name_f]Posy[/name_f]
[name_f]Eve[/name_f]

I like [name_f]Dove[/name_f]! Sweet, gentle and peaceful but with some spark to it too. I don’t think too much of the soap brand - more of the bird. In terms of imagery, I’m thinking of white feathers, shades of pale blue, purple, pink and orange, sparkles, fluffy clouds, white skirts, knitted pastel blue sweaters :dove: :icecream::cherry_blossom::blue_heart: :cloud: :sparkling_heart::dove::sparkles: :tangerine::dove:

Similar names to [name_f]Dove[/name_f]:

[name_f]Faun[/name_f]
[name_f]Tansy[/name_f]
[name_f]Runa[/name_f]
[name_f]Opal[/name_f]

Honestly my first thought is [name_f]Dove[/name_f] [name_m]Cameron[/name_m]. I really don’t think it’s too tied to the soap brand. Its a very gentle-sounding name, but one that I think would work well on most personality types.

Names that give me similar vibes
[name_f]Lark[/name_f]

[name_f]Isa[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]

Ugh now I do see the soap brand :woman_facepalming:t3::woman_facepalming:t3:. Of all the times I heard the name, never thought of it before! :rofl:

I love Dove’s soft sound and I hear the soft cooing of doves in the early misty morning, and ironically think of the priests selling doves in the temple in [name_m]Jerusalem[/name_m] where [name_m]Jesus[/name_m] turned the tables. Not sure if that’s a good reference or not but I usually think of it. [name_m]Or[/name_m] Jesus’ parents bringing two doves when they took [name_m]Jesus[/name_m] to the temple after He was born. I also think of bears, ironically, since the Hebrew [name_m]Dov[/name_m] (male name) means “bear” lol.

I also often think of [name_f]Doveva[/name_f] which I think I prefer, I love that that could get the nns [name_f]Dove[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f], or even [name_f]Vivi[/name_f]. [name_m]Just[/name_m] [name_f]Dove[/name_f] I’ve always preferred as a middle, myself. But I do find it to be a sweet and unexpected name! I just don’t think it’s a name I’d like to go by day-to-day.

Similar names… not sure, maybe [name_f]Bay[/name_f], [name_f]Fern[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Tess[/name_f], [name_f]Doveva[/name_f], [name_m]Linden[/name_m], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Lark[/name_f], [name_f]Wren[/name_f], [name_m]Sparrow[/name_m], [name_m]Robin[/name_m], [name_f]Oriole[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f]? (Doves remind me of peace for some reason, which then remind me of the [name_f]Olive[/name_f] family… in a similar vein, [name_f]Irene[/name_f], [name_f]Fenna[/name_f], [name_f]Mira[/name_f], etc.?)

Good luck!

Pair with [name_f]Geffri[/name_f], or Fredriquea? (how do you spell that name?!)
And you got yourself one cool name in my opnion.

Funny thought: I would love to be associated with the [name_f]Dove[/name_f] brand. Maybe they would see my name and hire me for modeling…

[name_f]Dove[/name_f] is nice. I think of the bird, of course, but moreso its usage as a symbol of peace. I hadn’t thought of the soap brand until you mentioned it, but then I couldn’t get that association out of my mind.

[name_f]Dove[/name_f] is a beautiful and sweet nature themed name! [name_f]My[/name_f] first association is the bird, a lovely symbol of peace :dove: [name_f]Dove[/name_f] sounds gentle, melodic and tranquil.

After you mentioned it, yes, I remembered the brand. It’s not a bad association, though. In my opinion, it’s a good brand!

thanks everyone! ironically, i hadn’t thought of the soap brand originially but after posting it i was having a look at other dove posts and started thinking about it! thats why i added it in to my originial post :sweat_smile: of the suggestions i like poppy and daisy (common in my area though), flora, lavender, aura (love this one), paloma (one of my fav names), blue, soleil, soul, cove, lou, haven, posie, belle + wren. thanks!

It feels very calm and peaceful with a tiny bit of quirky edge. White and pale grey. I really like it. I think of the bird, then the celebrity, then the soap.

Very pretty like along with other bird names like [name_f]Wren[/name_f] and [name_f]Lark[/name_f].

Similar names may be fern, [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] “Cleo” is what I like for similar vibes of [name_m]Classic[/name_m] quirky nature names.

:tulip::black_heart::feather:

I like [name_f]Dove[/name_f], but more as a middle name.

To be honest, this is the first time I’ve ever thought of the soap brand when I heard the name [name_f]Dove[/name_f]. I just think of the bird, and [name_f]Dove[/name_f] [name_m]Cameron[/name_m].

[name_f]Imagery[/name_f] would be like:
