Help[Opinions] It has a medieval flair to me...
in reply to a message by Teacups
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.
