I'm actually growing to like it. My sister is CRAZY about DESCENDANTS and Dove Cameron starred there. It's not THAT bad a name... and the birds are beautiful.
A beautiful name! I wish it weren't so rare; the brand names only make me think of a sweet and fresh personality. The perfect name for a character in my book.
Between the associations with the soap, the chocolate, and the bird itself, this strikes me as a very... calm name, if you will. I would think that someone named Dove is a good listener and makes those around her feel better just by being around.
For a masculine equivalent, maybe Dov? Even though it means bear...

Looks like it was on the low end of US charts in the late 1800s. I can see it being semi-popular again. It’s less ridiculous than a lot of the kreigh8tyv names used now.
I haven’t met anyone with the name Dove and I can’t think of someone called Dove until I meet one, Dove is a bit of a quirky name but it’s cute at the same time so if I have a daughter I would need to discuss the name with my husband, I think it would make a good middle name as a first name, I just wish it was a nickname for something.
While doves are very cute, I still wouldn't use this. It makes me think of the soap brand. Dove as a name would make me laugh if I heard it in real life.
