There is also an old Swedish male name Love. It is a form of Ludvig and also a name of an author (Carl Jonas Love Almqvist). It is pronounced "LOO-vay". [noted -ed]

It's pronounced LO-vuh.

A famous bearer of this name was Elder Brewster's son, both who traveled on the MAYFLOWER.

It's retarded to name a guy Love.

-- POLISHPRINCESS  12/13/2005

No, PolishPrincess, it is not retarded. Love is a name, with a meaning, it is not just the word "love" in English. In Sweden it is not pronounced like the word "love" is in English (more like LO-veh) and all people in all countries are not going to connect it to the word "love" since people speak different languages.

I agree. Since Sweden has its own language and has a different word for "Love", this would not be a bad name for a child. I like this pronunciation a lot, too.

In response to PolishPrincess, I think it's unnceccessary to call something "retarded". I also disagree with the fact that you think it's only "retarded" (rewording: not a good idea) to name a boy Love. Why can't boys be named Love, but girls can? I don't understand your logic.

I'm not saying the name Love is the greatest name in the world, but calling names (or anything, for that matter) retarded excessively, you're going to end up offending people. So, my advice is to stop saying that now.

I think naming a guy "Love" would ensure him teasing, no matter how it's spelt. Same for a girl, unless it's a middle name.

For some reason I really like this. I would say it like you would when you love someone but the more French sounding way. Hummmmm. Yes, I do believe I like it!

I think this is an ok name if you are in Sweeden or wherever, but no way in the English language. A child would get soooooo much teasing out of this - I have never heard this name, and if I saw it my mind would automatically go to "Love" in the dictionary.

I know a Swedish boy with this name, but he spells it "Lowe".

-- DoffeT  8/7/2008

In Sweden it's pronounced LO-veh, and Swedish people don't relate to the English word "love" when they hear the name, because it is pronounced completly differently. And the Swedish word for love doesn't even sound like the English. It's "kärlek". (And I think love is a lovely name in Swedish).

My brother gave his son this name, but with a W instead of a V, so it should not be any complications international and people call him "Love".

-- honungspinglan  1/5/2009

The Swedish name Love / Lowe is pronounced loo-veh.

-- CN  3/17/2009

This name can be spelled Lovë and can be used on females.

I don't understand why a person would name their kid Love! Am I right?!

-- abbyroxurface  10/11/2010

I really like this name with the Swedish pronunciation. But, due to the English word 'love', I'd probably spell it as Lowe, or just go with Louis.

-- EchoSketcher  12/15/2010

Wow, I didn't know this was a name. I wouldn't give it to my child or anything, but I like it.
