I like both, but keep thinking 'toa' (toilet in Swedish) when it comes to Tova. I know people with both names though.

Let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

'Toa' is something to bear in mind. How are the names perceived generally in Sweden, if you don't mind my asking?

I'd say that Tove is more dated than Tova. I'd expect a Tove to be somewhere between 25-35 or so, while a I'd expect Tova to be somewhere from 0-25. I've never heard anything negative about either name. Lova (girl) and Love (boy) are also common here.
