Nova or Nola?

[Chocolateyescakeyes]

Which do you prefer?

I like Nola.

Nova sounds very dates to me, and reminds me of the car and as pp said Prestatyn Nova!

Don't love either but Nova is better.

NoLa is what New Orleans gets called.

To be honest both names sound very functional and plain, both are horrible

^This

Both sound like brand names, so it’s a no to both from me, I’m afraid.

I know a boy toddler called Nova. I like it, it's kind of spacey. Nola is OK, a bit like Lola which is popular.

I prefer Nola by a long way. It's lovely.

I like both. Isn't one of the babies from teen mom called Nova?

I think your instincts are correct OP and both immediately struck me as very chavvy.

Nova.

I don't really like either. There is a radio station called radio nova so it makes me think of that. Finola is nice though.

My darling girl is called aversion of Nova xx

I'm not sure why people are suggesting Finola?! It's a bastardised anglicised spelling of Fionnuala which is pronounced Fin-oo-la (kind of!) - NOT Fin-o-la. The names are nothing alike

Nova definitely

Nola is lovely! Nova reminds me of the car. I also like Nora

Neither. Not very feminine imo.
Vita?

Nova, I came across Novalie the other day...

Nola.

I know a very classy and smart Nola. Nova is just a trendy brand-namey name, to me.

I know a lovely woman called Nola so it sounds good to me.

I should point out it's a town near Naples where my family comes from and is known locally for a heavy organised crime presence!

Nola is a town that is.

I know a Nola and a Nova and they are two of the smiliest, quirkiest, genuine people I know, so I love both names!

I think I prefer Nova though

Nola is what Americans call New Orleans.....

As in New Orleans LA (Louisiana)....

Vauxhall Nova - no way.

Nola is a bit meh.
