For a girl. Which one do you prefer?

Are they actually names? I don’t know any kids named any of them.

Ontopofthesunset · 23/10/2018 23:14

Isn't Ezri a boy's name? I know only two Ezris and they're both male. Mika makes me thing of Micah, which is a boy's name. Nova for me just sounds like the old car or the Spanish for 'it doesn't go'. Also I'm not keen on names meaning 'new' - they date badly.

whitewineimissyou · 23/10/2018 23:16

Nova is an old car
Mika is a boys name
Never heard of ezri and not keen on this one either.
I’d go back to the drawing board to be honest.
Each to their own however.

Ezri, because Mika is a boys name and Nova means 'doesn't go/work'

I haven't come across it before, and it's not my kind of name, but it doesn't seem to have anything so obviously offputting.

Really?
Out of the wealth of names available to call a human being who has to make their way in the world, meeting people, building relationships, getting jobs etc the best thing you can come up with is this trio of terrible?

DC2018 · 23/10/2018 23:23

Not a huge fan of any of them tbh but Nova is probably the best. I do love Nora which is similar

Reaa · 23/10/2018 23:33

I prefer Luna to Nova and agree with others about the names being more male than female.

bojtogether · 23/10/2018 23:40

Nova

WistfulBarnacles · 23/10/2018 23:40

I like Ezri, I think it is the female version of Ezra and so has been a name since biblical times.

MollyHuaCha · 23/10/2018 23:48

No. Back to the name book please, OP.

JakePeraltaNYPD · 23/10/2018 23:56

I love Mika, reminds me of the Waterloo Road character :)

riviana · 24/10/2018 00:25

Ezri Dax from "Deep Space Nine".

binkyblinky · 24/10/2018 00:28

Please, don't!!

IzzyGrey · 24/10/2018 01:03

Nova is quite cool

NarcolepticOuchMouse · 24/10/2018 01:07

All great names for a dog

MrsFoxPlus4 · 24/10/2018 01:32

My cats called Nova

SuperstarDJ · 24/10/2018 01:36

None. Mika & Ezri sounds like boys names to me & Nova is a car.

Shadow1234 · 24/10/2018 01:44

I really like Mika - prefer it pronounced mee-kah (sounds better for a girl) rather than My-kah (which sounds more masculine)
Also know a girl who spells it Mica.

HungryForSnacks · 24/10/2018 01:58

How about Michaela? Then you can call her Mika for short

OlennasWimple · 24/10/2018 02:34

I know a baby Nova, who is utterly lovely. And a Mieke (said Mee-kah) who is also utterly lovely

Neither are British, though, if that makes any difference to anything

GinIsIn · 24/10/2018 03:12

No

Sungura · 24/10/2018 04:03

Emrick IS really nice and my favorite, but it is a boy's name; it's not the feminine of Ezra. Just so you know. It's a contemporary Israeli version of the name. Of the other two I prefer Nova to Mika. In Mika all I hear is Meek. I like stronger names for girls.

Sungura · 24/10/2018 04:04

Ezri is really nice, I meant to say. Darned auto correct!

MemoryOfSleep · 24/10/2018 04:42

Nova is the only one which isn't masculine to me, so I guess that one.

BigGreenOlives · 24/10/2018 04:59

I knew a female Mika when I was at school, she’ll be a doctor now. She was Indian. I wouldn’t choose Nova as I’d always think of the car or Ezri as it looks like Ezra gone wrong.
