What do you think of the name [name_m]Jove[/name_m]? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you have any first name suggestions?

Thanks!

One syllable, like [name_m]Joe[/name_m]-with-a-v? Or jo-vee?

It’s not bad as a middle name but I think I prefer [name_m]Jovi[/name_m] (and for a girl).

I like it. I would automatically pronounce as a single syllable, but I think both “jove” and “jov-ee” are nice. As a middle name it would balance out a longer first nicely, and I think it goes well with most classic long names.

Eg.
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Jove[/name_m] ([name_m]Jove[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] also sounds good)
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Jove[/name_m]
[name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Jove[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Jove[/name_m]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] [name_m]Jove[/name_m]… etc.

I just think you need to avoid too many “j” sounds, eg. [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_m]Jove[/name_m] and [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Jove[/name_m] don’t work for me.

[name_m]Jove[/name_m] is a one syllable name, pronounced JOHV, like [name_m]Joe[/name_m]-with-a-v.

I prefer it as a middle name as well because of the pronunciation issue. I’ve seen it pronounced JOH-vee a few times.

Thanks!

[name_u]Love[/name_u] the example of [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Jove[/name_m] (and [name_m]Jove[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]). I don’t do two middle combos much at all anymore but ____ [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Jove[/name_m] or really any of them would make nice, handsome combos.

I definitely agree that [name_m]Jove[/name_m] doesn’t work with J sounds.

Thanks!
