I am 22 weeks pregnant with a baby girl. I originally set my heart ok Alice for a girl but I thought about it again and want to name her with meaning. I want to give her a name meaning of 'new beginning' because she is my new beginning. So I thought of the name 'Nova' which means new for her first name but can't find a middle name. Anyone have any ideas and what do people think of that name?

I love Nova.

I think of bright stars and sunny days listening to Oasis Grin

Great name.

To a large extent every baby bears the expectations of his or her parents, and also the image the parents have of themselves. I don't think Nova is any different.

For what it's worth, I think I would hate it if I was my mother's 'new beginning'. Your child is her own person, why do you want to define her by yourself?

Nova isn’t a nice name, would you consider

A Nova is a thing in its own right. Similar to a super nova it is an old star that suddenly grows very very bright, but instead of exploding it then stabilises with a new lease of life.

I think a one syllable middle name makes it sound quite blunt and harsh so something slightly longer would suit it. I also quite like the sound of a middle name starting with a vowel, sometimes two vowels next to each other can sometimes run together and sound a bit silly, but as Nova is quite a strong name it doesn't and adds a nice flow through the name.

I know a girl called Nova and it's lovely.

To continue with the theme why not have something that means happiness for a middle name.

Sorry, that wasn’t very helpful Blush

What about:

Dawn
Aurora
Oriana (apparently means dawn, but makes me think of the massive ship, so)
Nysa (Greek, means new beginning)
