Help[Opinions] Loveness
WDYTO Loveness? I came across it last year - I taught a little Loveness (female). Such a guilty pleasure for me, although I would consider using it as a mn possibly.
Do you think it's in the "just silly" category, or more like a quirky Agnes?

It would go in the "a little to quirky even for me" category. Definitely a GP though. It is kind of cute. I might name a pet that name.

It has a medieval flair to me...
I know Loveday and Sweetlove were used as FNs on girls in medieval England. It could be an old family name.

Actual meaning of her name:
Pretty sure it's a rough English translation of the Chichewa/Nyanja word "chikondi", which I would translate as "love", but there you go. Loveness. I know more than one Loveness and several people (mostly male) named Lovemore, which made me laugh the first time I heard it! So something like Loveday would not seem out of place! Maybe my taste is slightly warped as a result.

I don't know if this would make it better or worse, but I would prefer Loveliness.

It sounds like a humourous euphemism for sex. "Hey baby, get some of my loveness"

I find it silly. :/

Completely ridiculous. It's like tacking "ness" onto random words, except there's the added fail of declaring it a name.

I once talked to a woman named Loveless, very close to Loveness. Loveness is better, though, because of the meaning of Loveless, even though Loveless has a little bit of a prettier sound. I think Loveness should stay a GP...it's seems somewhat saccharine because of the the "Love" at the beginning and it does seem rather silly.

Loveless? That's a terrible thing to name a person. I think I've heard it as a surname, though.

I made a post asking about Loveless, shortly after I talked to the woman who bears the name, and there were suggestions amongst the answers that perhaps she was given the name because it was a family surname.

Insanely idiotic in my opinion!

Ditto on Loch Ness!
I immediately heard Loch Ness, which inevitably brings the word "monster" to mind.

Oh my word, definitely silly. Although I'd be more likely to say ridiulous. It's like a virtue name that isn't even a word.
