Nova or Kaia?

[Chocolateyescakeyes]

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

Kaia

Nova doesn’t sound like the name of a person.

Love Nola though.

"Hopefully most would be in the scrap yard by time baby is old enough to realise!"

They already are. But look how many people know the name.

Marina is only now beginning to recover, and that was a less popular car in the first place and a real name (known because of the princess) beforehand the car came out.

Nova just doesn't have the track record as a name, and was a way more popular car. (Though I doubt anyone would think it was a place of conception name!)

Nova also means "won't go", it's why they changed the name of the car!!

Kaia.

Love Aster too or Astra if you want to continue with the Vauxhall theme

Just throwing another in there: Novi

I prefer Nova to Kaia, there are lots of Kaya/Kyla/Kia around her.
What about Juno?

I know an adult amed Nova (very elegant, intelligent). It really suits hear... so no, the name doesn’t seem weird to me personally. And Supernova isn’t a bad association.

You might also like Astra, Astraea, Kyra, Vela and Cora.

Astra??? Are you mad?

Nova.

Although it's possible you're going to get the "conceived on the back seat of a " jokes....

Shiny

I know an Astra. :)

Not a fan of either but nova is definitely the worst.

They sound like names for products to me I'm afraid.

"I think Nova actually is a model of car!" Indeed - the Vauxhall Nova. I used to have one, until some bugger wrecked the steering column trying to nick it.

Nova is the actual word for new in some languages, so I prefer Kaia as it sounds more like a name.

I'd probably go for a Kia they do some really roomy models, I don't think they make the Vauxhall Nova anymore?

Sorry but both are terrible names and I wouldn't normally say that to someone picking names.

Go with Nova - least it won't be popular going by these comments lol.

Neither

Mini
Aygo
Deux Cee Vee (you may feel 2 middle names is a tad pretentious, though)
Panda
Ka

There's a lot out there to choose from...

Neither

Kaia

Nova is a car

Neither. How about Luna?

Kaia sounds like Kayak.
Gaia is nice though.
Nova sounds like a 1980s Vauxhall car.

Yes, however, I do not live in a a predominantly Spanish, French etc speaking country, hence that would not sway me against the name.

Novalie?
