I am 22 weeks pregnant with a baby girl. I originally set my heart ok Alice for a girl but I thought about it again and want to name her with meaning. I want to give her a name meaning of 'new beginning' because she is my new beginning. So I thought of the name 'Nova' which means new for her first name but can't find a middle name. Anyone have any ideas and what do people think of that name?

I love Nova! It's my cats name. You could use Alice as a middle name. I think it's lovely with Nova.

I prefer Alba, which means sunrise/dawn and therefore has a similar sense of a new beginning. Aurora and Roxana have the same meaning.

Like Vauxhall Nova?

LeekMunchingSheepShagger · 04/05/2019 14:44

Nova makes me think of the car, sorry. I think it was a Vauxhall.

Did you want a more traditional middle name or something a bit more unique?

It makes me think of a car too. It is a nice word that’s quite satisfying to say though. Maybe if you put it with a naturey middle name is will sound less carlike - Wren, Willow, Heather etc

I thought of super nova stars

ImTheRealHFella · 04/05/2019 14:57

We also have s pet by that name, it's s lovely name....but I think lots of people do associate it with the car.

Seren also means star?

Trying to think - sure I've read a book or seen film with a Nova in?

borntobequiet · 04/05/2019 15:05

The film is Nova Zembla

Vauxhall dropped it when they realised it means “doesn’t go” in Spanish...

Nova is sweet, I like:

Nova Star
Nova Rose
Nova Jean

And I also like a lot of @Buffys suggestions

Branleuse · 04/05/2019 15:15

I think somethng that starts wih a consonant, but i wouldnt worry that much as noone uses middle names

Sorry, that wasn’t very helpful Blush

What about:

Dawn
Aurora
Oriana (apparently means dawn, but makes me think of the massive ship, so)
Nysa (Greek, means new beginning)

Like the virus? Alice is so much nicer!

Nova is a very pretty and unusual name Smile

(Sorry)

I know a girl called Nova and it's lovely.

To continue with the theme why not have something that means happiness for a middle name.
