Lovie
About Lovie
Lovie is one of a vast number of ie-ending nickname names popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s, which means they should be back in style now.
Which they are, in a quiet way. The name Love was used for nearly 400 baby girls last year (and about a tenth as many boys) and was one of the fastest-rising girls' names of 2022.
Lovie is not quite as popular, though it was used for more than 20 baby girls and you can bet that many of those little Loves are called Lovie -- probably a better way to go.
Pronounced LUV-ee.
As of October 2026, Lovie ranked #6243 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #392 in 1892.
