As always, double check all meanings if they are important to you. Baby name books and internet sites can be fast and loose with them. The best scholarly / researched site I’ve found is http://www.behindthename.com . There’s a search engine there that’s addictive. If you see a meaning you like suggested here, but maybe not the name, there may be another name with that meaning and you can find it there. Good luck! :0)



* Since a dove is the traditional symbol for peace, these meanings above can have two meanings.

Oooh, I missed Dove Roisin and Dove Aracela in my haste. Love both. Lucky little girl. Her parents are so thoughtful. :0)

No we aren’t the Dove Merida parents. Our original poll was asking for middle name sughestions for Dove and then another poll for voting between Dove Melina, Dove Leonie, and Dove Lillian but then we found Aracela amongst the suggestions and loved the whole combined meaning thing.

We also like Dove Calliope. Everything we’ve seen about Dove has said it means "pure" in most cultures(but we already know that doves are usually symbols of peace) which I really like about it plus it’s super rare to hear and so beatiful, we also like it because Callum’s name means "Dove" so it gives their names a bery nice connection! Thanks. ~Bridget&Callum

I missed the connection with poll Dad’s name. Of course, Callum / Columba. Nicely done. And thanks for all the feedback. It’s much appreciated. Glad you’re finding ideas to kick around. :0)
