[Opinions] Dove
What are your opinions on Dove for a girl? I like it but dint think I would use it as a fn. perfect for a mn.
What are some combos with Dove as a first name and with it as a mn?

I knew an Ann Dove. I thought it was just so pretty, that combination of simple Ann and rarely-heard Dove. I still love it.
Dove is actually a surname in my family tree believe it or not.
Um I wouldn't use Dove as a fn. As a mn I really like it. Dovie is a cute nickname.
Paloma is such a great name and means dove I believe.

Sometimes I toy with this name too, when I get into a sort of "adorable country bumpkin" phase. I really like it.
I actually like it better out front, otherwise it starts to take on a flaky, new-agey sort of feeling. But it does fit so nicely in the middle sometimes.
Dove Annabelle is my stock combo for it, but let me think of some more
Dove Abilene
Susannah Dove
Dove Judith
Naomi Dove?

Caoimhe Dove
Dove Clementine
Ruthie Dove, Ruth Dove

I love doves, but the name Dove only makes me think of a stupid old TV ad: "This is no ordinary soap...this is DOVE...Dove contains moisturising, blah blah blah..."
I remember it because my class that year went camping in a little island in the Baltic sea and the only boat to the island was so tiny it could only take 15 students for each trip (and there were 30 of us). The boat was called Dover, and we had all seen the TV ad (I think TV ads were pretty new in Sweden then) and made up some crazy ad: "This is no ordinary boat...this is DOVER...Dover is made up from 100% styrofoam..." ;)
I think Jemima or Paloma would be a better choice.

It's just such a...bird. Like, I can't not think about the bird. I'll admit that it has sort of pretty sound, but I can't get past this...
This might have something to do with the fact that I'm scared of birds though. The name is different, and sort of cool and hippie-ish in its own way I suppose.

I like Dove. I use to feel like it was only MN material but now I think it's work fine as a FN. It's quirky but simple and not to unusual. The only combo I haveit "stocked" in is Michelangela Dove

Middle name, yeah. It makes a refreshing middle name and I like the symbolism. As a first name it's bad - an endearment name like Lovey or Precious or Lamb.
I think since it's one syllable it'd be extremely easy to combine with other names. Almost every name I can think of goes with it fine.

This is what it sounds like when doves cry...
That's ALL I can think of when I hear this name.
Aside from that, I think it's silly; I can't imagine calling, "DOVE!!" in a crowded supermarket. Sorry.

it strikes me as too sentimental and sappy to be used as a name at all. Doves are nice birds, but after all, they are just pigeons with very good PR. lol
We have them in our back yard, and true, I do like them better than pigeons.
A hawk got one of them last week,nothing left but a pile of feathers.

I'd rather have Paloma or Columbine! Dove is too soapy and underarm deodoranty.
I don't think Columbine is usable in the States at all
Fine where I live, though!
I don't really like it, it's a bit hippy-dippy and childish. Also it has no hard sounds so it's rther insubstantial.

In my language Dove means "deaf person", so it sounds a bit weird to me. Apart from that, I think it's ok as a mn.
I really like Dove, and I do think it works better as a middle name. Doveva is what I would use as full name, nickname Dove, or Dovey.
