Nova or Kaia?

[Chocolateyescakeyes]

Opinion on the names Nova and Kaia? Which do you prefer?

Kaia sounds a bit like a model of car (or Gaia) - I much prefer Nova. However I do know two Novas already...

I think Nova actually is a model of car!

Nova

Nova will sound stupid to a lot of people. Means “new”

Nova is a car, and is used in other brand names, and makes me think supernova (which might be a bit too much of a tease).

Haha! Yes, both are/similar to types of car! Hopefully most would be in the scrap yard by time baby is old enough to realise!

Not keen on either but prefer Kaia

I don’t think either one is good.

Can’t say Nova without then saying Scotia

Nova -nope. My mind goes straight to cars.
Gaia how's that pronounced? Is it gay -a

Nova is too teen mom.

I prefer Nova.

I like them both but prefer Nova, I think. I know an adult Nova (very artistic and sophisticated lady) but have never met any others. Kaia is probably quite unusual too but easily confused with the Kias, Kyahs and Kayas.

Oh yeah Vauxhall Nova!

Much prefer Kaia (I assume pronounced Kye-uh).

Nova does sound like a car to me. Also it's the word "new" in some languages, which seems a bit uninspired.

Love them both.

Kaia being my favorite though.

I like both, but would choose Kaia probably because I used to drive a Vauxhall Nova back in the day

How about Nola? Roma?

My friend nova is a yoga teacher

The kaia I know is a boy

Not that enamoured of either though both nice people

Neither float my boat but then again it's not my choice!

Kaia.

Like the concept of Nova, but I just don't think it's usable on a person.

In the nicest way possible, neither to be honest. Nova sounds like the virus, the other one a car.

But it's your baby.

I have a Kaia (DD, not a car).

Very few people can say it or spell it correctly on the first try but other than that it's a great name!

God almighty.

Nova was a car, a shitty one at that. But No Va means “won’t go” in several European languages which is why it was called the Corsa on the continent.

It is a crap crap crap name for a child.

I agree - both sound like car models.

I like Gaia very much
