Virtue names (I also agree. Just use Love)I really like virtue names like Mercy, Peace, and Love. I think those have far deaper meanings than names like Faith, Hope, or Joy. At first glance a name like Love may seem outlandish but it has such a beautiful meaning that I don't see any reason to obscure the it by spelling it backwards or using a foreign word for it.

I agree, use LoveI think it is too much like Evil, too, even for a middle name. It's also a brand of frozen foods, sort of reminds me of an eco car name and olive oil (EVOO). :( You could also use another name that is "loving" if you didn't want to use Love, like Cherish
Caring (I know someone with this name actually)
Heart
Aimee
J'aime (the French word, not Jaime. I also know someone who has this as a middle name)
Cara
Carys
etc etc etc

Arrrgghh! I DO agree, use Love, however, I put this in the wrong place (again)Evol...
It seems a bit odd. And a bit ugly. To me, anyhow, it has an ugly sound. I'm saying it air-VOL but it could also be said EE-vol which is much closer to evil than it is to love.
Why not just use love? As a middle name it wouldn't cause any problems and would sound nice with a lot of things. And besides, reversing changes the nature of a thing. A lemon is an orange in reverse! (True fact) Oranges are sweet and lemons are sour. If your kid is named Evol she isn't named Love. If you want Love in a name, then use it just how it is. Don't try and turn it into something strange and new and not lovely at all.
Just my opinion :)

If it really bothers you when you put a response in the wrong place, you can edit out the body of your message, put in the heading either something like "Ignore, wrong place" or just "nt", and then put your response in the right place.
