About Dover
Two-syllable place-names are stylish, and this one is attached to a British city noted for its white chalk cliffs, but there are a couple of minuses: associated with the fish, Dover sole, and also rhymes with the doggy Rover.
Pronounced DOH-vur.
As of October 2026, Dover ranked #12845 in US births in 2022 SSA, peaked at #2374 in 1922.
Editor's take: The name Dover is a boy's name of British origin.
