Too different?

[staciface]

Have recently come across the name 'Nova', was delighted to find its a pretty old name (I like olden names) that has disappeared pretty much off radar since early 1900's.

I like that its meaning is 'new' and that a Nova is a star that suddenly shines much brighter than usual, I just like that whole image, combined with the name.

Thoughts on the name?

Vauxhall

Silly she won't thank you for it. Can you imagine phoning for insurance and you have to tell someone your name is Nova.

As a one time astronomy student, I would have trouble not making, making puns.

Hi Nova, it's Super to see you. I hear your birthday party went with a Bang.

Poor Nova, she looks quite Bright, but she's actually very Dense inside.

I think it's really pretty, but she will get the Vauxhall jokes.

Its Avon backwards.

I love it. There's an Australian politician called Nova Peris - don't think anyone has trouble taking her seriously due to her name.

I want to like it, with it being older and it's meaning, but I can't get past the vauxhall connection.

Maybe a little too different for me. Though I like it, you can't beat an old classic.

I'm very boring

It's not a name that appeals to me personally, but I do prefer when parents choose something a bit unique so I'd say go for it - it's not a terrible name. TBH I think it's the parents not the children you need to be worried about when it comes to teasing.

I went to secondary school with a girl called Novaline which is similar-ish.

Really grotty club night at uni was called Nova.

It's different, but not outlandish. i'm not wild about it, but it's not awful either.

I used to have a hairdresser called Nova. Nobody ever believed that that was her actual given name.

Sorry............. another no.

Doesn't it mean 'doesn't go' in Spanish? I think it is one of the classic marketing fails, who would buy a car which means 'no go'?

Neri means my burning light (Hebrew) or ocean spirit (Greek). Is that appealing?

I like it but I haven't heard of the car, which would make it a no for me. A friend of mine has a Nola which I think is lovely.

Yep means doesn't go in Spanish.

That would put me off I think.

I like it. People can associate negative connotations with any name and its got to be better than just being yet another Ava/Eva/Tilly/Milly. If you like it go for it!

I knew someone called Nova when I was at university. I thought it was cool, and I never thought of the car.

I love it! Lovely name

I think it's pretty cool, and noone has had a nova car since forever ago, so kids won't make that association only their parents showing their age...

I like it.

Sorry, it made me think instantly of cars.

How about Stella?

I hate that car manufacturers use nice names. It's nice and I probably wouldn't think twice if I met a Nova, though I might be singing Champagne Supernova in my head

Howabout it's annoying but I suppose it's understandable car manufacturers don't go for Gertrude and Mildred

I like it sounds pretty and lovely meaning
