I love Loveday. It's so much fun and so sweet, and has a great medieval flair. It's actually just modern English for Leofdæg (Leofdaeg). I really like it as a middle name in male combos too when I'm going for something medieval-y.I think it's usable, since I'm hesitant to say anything isn't usable. But I think most people will think it's a hippie-ish name.

For some reason it reminds me of fruit or juice. Is there a company called Loveday?I'm more concerned with it sounding overly precious and modern, like Princess or Heaven or something. I want to emphasise that medieval/Puritan feeling I got from it, all nestled among Ishmaels and Temperances and Prudences like it was.

Ooh!In searching for Loveday juice (bwaha) I found the Wikipedia entry for Loveday.

Oh look at all the lovely alternate versions! Lief Tag is killer.Nothing connecting Loveday to fruit or juice, though.

Wow neat! There are also a lot of Lowdys on the lists too... Lovedaia is soooo beautiful omg. And Dayluue, how cute is that! I totally want to get my hands on a copy of that book in the article, "Names for the Cornish". That's it, I love this name.

Correctly, I have no idea, but in my head I'm saying daia to rhyme with Gaia. But it could very well be like "Day-ah". Both are nice in my opinion
