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?

Nova Star
Nova Rose

Vauxhall dropped it when they realised it means “doesn’t go” in Spanish...

Trying to think - sure I've read a book or seen film with a Nova in?

We also have s pet by that name, it's s lovely name....but I think lots of people do associate it with the car.

Seren also means star?

I thought of super nova stars

It makes me think of a car too. It is a nice word that’s quite satisfying to say though. Maybe if you put it with a naturey middle name is will sound less carlike - Wren, Willow, Heather etc

Nova makes me think of the car, sorry. I think it was a Vauxhall.

Did you want a more traditional middle name or something a bit more unique?

gallicgirl · 04/05/2019 14:42

Like Vauxhall Nova?

I prefer Alba, which means sunrise/dawn and therefore has a similar sense of a new beginning. Aurora and Roxana have the same meaning.

I love Nova! It's my cats name. You could use Alice as a middle name. I think it's lovely with Nova.

Nova Alice
Nova Grace
Nova Scarlett
Nova Wren
Nova Elodie
Nova Lucy
Nova Quinn
Nova Eve
Nova Eloïse
