Middle name - Bloom or Posie?

We're in a naming dilemma, she is being registered today so we need to make a decision! Her first name is going to be Nova but we're stuck on the middle name, Posie works better with our nickname for her but I still love Bloom, so which works better..

Nova Bloom or Nova Posie?

Nova Violet is fab. Other nature/flower possibilities I like

Nova Iris
Nova Fleur
Nova Autumn
Nova Lily
Nova Rowan
Nova Holly
Nova Skye

Nova Violet as suggested by a PP is beautiful.

Nova Posie doesn’t quite flow.
Nova bloom makes my think of some sort of algae bloom.

How about Scotia instead?

I don't think either sound good. Sorry. Nova Blossom is better. Nova Violet is even better if you want to stick with a flower theme.

I don't think Nova Posie has a nice ring to it at all. It sounds weird. Sorry Op.

Not too keen on Nova Bloom either but it's the better option out of the two.

Agree with PP - Bloom isn’t a name. Not sure Nova Posie rings correctly either.

percheron67 · 12/08/2019 12:08

Bloom is not a name - it is what flowers do!

Emthebaker · 12/08/2019 12:03

I think they’re both lovely choices, I’d personally go for Nova Bloom Flowers

Sophronia · 12/08/2019 11:33

I’m not keen on either of the options. I like the pp’s suggestions of Primrose or Marigold.

NoSauce · 12/08/2019 11:16

Blossom would be better. Primrose or Marigold would work.

missmouse101 · 12/08/2019 11:11

Posie I meant of course...wretched autocorrect.

AverageMummy · 12/08/2019 11:11

Not really keen on either. What about Nova Penelope or Nova Paloma?

missmouse101 · 12/08/2019 11:10

Poise is adorable, Bloom makes me think of broom, bloomer or algal bloom=murky water.

Summerunderway · 12/08/2019 11:05

Blossom?

NoSauce · 12/08/2019 11:04

Both don’t fit right to me OP. I would put something long with Nova.

Rivkka · 12/08/2019 11:02

Bloom is better than Posie.

Thanks for the replies, nickname is Po (short for potato), it was our bump name for her and has well and truly stuck Grin

Nova Bloom sounds better I think -

I wouldn't pick a middle name based on a nickname as presumably you won't be using them both day to day?

What's the nickname?

Sydney97 · 12/08/2019 10:56

Congratulations! Nova is a stunning name. I'd go for Bloom, Nova Bloom has a lovely ring to it.
