About the name
Cove is English — the small sheltered bay where boats wait out weather — a geography word that became a name in the quiet-nature wave alongside Bay, Vale, and Wren.
Essentially uncharted, Cove offers maximum calm per letter: water, shelter, and smallness in one syllable.
The name is an anchorage. It pairs well with flowing middles (Cove Alexander, Cove Marguerite) that give it open water. On our vibe map it is Nature-Inspired shoreline with Soft & Dreamy stillness and Modern Minimalist draft.
