It reminds me of, Dove soap and chocolate. It would be ok, as a mn though.

It makes a sweet mnBut as a fn it isn't so nice. I also imagine people would be confused over whether it was dove as in 'she dove into the pool' or dove as in the bird

I have a friend whose middle name is Chenoa, which I think means Dove in a Native American language.

I love it, but only as a nickname or middle name.

Makes me think of the bird, the chocolate and the soap. It could be alright as a mn, but don't like it for a fn at all.

I know a man named Dovso Dove doesn't sound odd to me as a fn. I like the similarities, and contrast, between the masculine Dov ("bear") and the feminine Dove. I think it works as a fn. But it makes a nice mn too.

DovThat is a really neat name. I especially like the meaning BtN gives, and I don't normally pay attention to meanings. Is it pronounced the same as Dove or is it a much shorter O sound? Or am I noting a difference there that possibly doesn't even exist?I like Dove, too, especially as a female name. I think I'd rather see it as a MN, though.

I like it! mI once read a book with a character (an elderly woman) named Dove. I thought it was so beautiful, soft, romantic and poetic, but yet still down to earth. I like nature-based names, and I always wondered why Dove was not more popular. The nickname "Dovie" is adorable. It's one of my GP's for sure. I know people would have trouble getting over the Soap (and apparently chocolate) connections.I still love it though and would probably use it if I thought it fit my child.
