Yes, it’s me again, from that Lennyn thread.

I have spent hours looking through lists and this is the only one I like. Yes I am v fussy with names. very

The name is NOVA. is it stupid? if so just suggest some names to me pls.

P.s. it was also a night of great historical research. Honestly had no clue who Lenin / Starlin / Trotsky were so yeah now I know.

Star-Lyn tickled me

Nova is nice, similar in style to Luna and Alba to me. Go for it if you like it. Also, well done on coming back and posting again after the harsh critique you received on your previous thread! Nova is in no way comparable to LennynGrin

I like it op and if you do then go for it 👍🏻

Well it's a lot better than Lennyn.
Like a previous poster I associate it rather with the Chevy Nova a very long running small American car but I don't think that is a an awful connection.

Starshapeddreams · 26/08/2019 16:06

I think Nova is nice and I typically like more traditional names.
I wouldn't worry too much about the car association, it didn't occur to me till I read previous comments!

What about Lyra? That’s a lovely star-themed name, if that’s what you’re going for.

Sexnotgender · 26/08/2019 16:01

Its not terrible but it’s really not great either!

It’s better than Lennyn thoughWink

Mxyzptlk · 26/08/2019 16:00

I like Starlyn.

Hotbiscuits · 26/08/2019 15:59

I quite like it-I've seen worse 'unusual' names.

HappyDinosaur · 26/08/2019 15:59

It's ok, not a horrible name or anything, but it does make me think of the car.

mumofbun · 26/08/2019 15:57

I love the name Nova - there's someone i follow on instagram (elsie larson) with a little girl called Nova and she's so sweet!

hairyturkey · 26/08/2019 15:56

I was actually thinking about this name earlier. Love it

Oysterbabe · 26/08/2019 15:53

For a girl? It's no worse than Luna I think.

Colourfulest · 26/08/2019 15:49

I love the name Nova. It's growing in popularity and not unusual anymore.

FenellaMaxwell · 26/08/2019 15:35

So it was a no to Star-Lyn at Hittla then? Grin
Nova is better, but still bad.

PreschoolPlease · 26/08/2019 15:31

Makes me think of a car model, the Vauxhall Nova. Sorry.
