Love as a name

unpopular opinion but love as a girl’s name is super pretty. i feel like it’s the perfect soft sounding name with the l and v combination and makes middle names look super cute. i know many oppose it because it can come off as weirdly pretentious or confusing but im into it hahha plus camp unique names are in, what do you guys think x

It’s a beautiful name, although I do prefer it in longer forms such as [name_u]Loveday[/name_u] or [name_u]Lovelace[/name_u]. It makes it less (or more) pretentious.

It’s actually a really tricky name to find middles for. You have to make sure neither the surname nor the middle name make it sound like a phrase or another word. [name_u]Love[/name_u] as a middle is even harder, since combinations like [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_u]Love[/name_u] or [name_f]Scarlet[/name_f] [name_u]Love[/name_u] may be perceived as phrases rather than names.

[name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_u]Love[/name_u], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_u]Love[/name_u], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_u]Love[/name_u] and [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_u]Love[/name_u] are some names that I feel flow nicely.

[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] is a similar name to [name_u]Love[/name_u], but without the wordy associations.

I think [name_u]Love[/name_u] is really sweet name and I can completely see the appeal in this name. I do prefer [name_u]Loveday[/name_u] which I absolutely love especially as a middle name for a classic/vintage choice like [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] [name_u]Loveday[/name_u].

[name_u]Love[/name_u] feels very pet name to me but I see the appeal. I think I prefer as a nickname, maybe for [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]? Haha I know its just the Luh sound in there. [name_f]Lovie[/name_f] is cute too.

I should probably bring up the association with the TV show You. Spoiler alert, but the character named Love ends up being pretty psychotic. Not sure how well known this association is, but it is what I always think of.

okie dokie!

[name_u]Love[/name_u] is nice in theory but it’s on the list of things that I wouldn’t want an old man boss to call me so I’m not a fan of it as a first name.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] is a sweet name through I can see some teasing potential here. I prefer it either as a nickname or in the middle spot. Also, I can agree with a previous comment, I would definitely not want bosses / teachers etc to call me [name_u]Love[/name_u].

I started crushing on the name [name_u]Love[/name_u] when I watched the Netflix series You. Obviously she’s not a great character, lol, but her name is beautiful and fun.

Ya, I guess it is a GP for me. What about [name_f]Lovella[/name_f]?

[name_u]Love[/name_u] is ‘lovely’ in the middle spot IMO. I am partial to virtue names though!

[name_u]Love[/name_u] is so cute!!! I love it in the middle
