Middle name - Bloom or Posie?

[YellowCaterpillar]

We're in a naming dilemma, she is being registered today so we need to make a decision! Her first name is going to be Nova but we're stuck on the middle name, Posie works better with our nickname for her but I still love Bloom, so which works better..

Nova Bloom or Nova Posie?

Congratulations! Nova is a stunning name. I'd go for Bloom, Nova Bloom has a lovely ring to it.

Nova Bloom sounds better I think -

I wouldn't pick a middle name based on a nickname as presumably you won't be using them both day to day?

What's the nickname?

Thanks for the replies, nickname is Po (short for potato), it was our bump name for her and has well and truly stuck

Bloom is better than Posie.

Both don’t fit right to me OP. I would put something long with Nova.

Blossom?

Poise is adorable, Bloom makes me think of broom, bloomer or algal bloom=murky water.

Not really keen on either. What about Nova Penelope or Nova Paloma?

Posie I meant of course...wretched autocorrect.

Blossom would be better. Primrose or Marigold would work.

I’m not keen on either of the options. I like the pp’s suggestions of Primrose or Marigold.

I think they’re both lovely choices, I’d personally go for Nova Bloom

Bloom is not a name - it is what flowers do!

Agree with PP - Bloom isn’t a name. Not sure Nova Posie rings correctly either.

I don't think Nova Posie has a nice ring to it at all. It sounds weird. Sorry Op.

Not too keen on Nova Bloom either but it's the better option out of the two.

I don't think either sound good. Sorry. Nova Blossom is better. Nova Violet is even better if you want to stick with a flower theme.

How about Scotia instead?

Nova Violet as suggested by a PP is beautiful.

Nova Posie doesn’t quite flow.
Nova bloom makes my think of some sort of algae bloom.

Nova Violet is fab. Other nature/flower possibilities I like

Nova Iris
Nova Fleur
Nova Autumn
Nova Lily
Nova Rowan
Nova Holly
Nova Skye

Nova Bloom sounds better. If you want a 'Po' name I would consider Nova Primrose, Nova Polly, Nova Eponine.

Votes for blossom or primrose - both "proper" names and go better with a short first name.

If you really have to choose between bloom and posie I would go for posie because it has a direct link to the cute bump name. Bloom makes me think of what you do when you're pregnant which seems weird for a little girl!

Poise doesn’t go and Bloom isn’t a name,, seriously it sounds silly.
Blossom
Primrose
Ivy
Willow
Fern
Eden
Poppy
Daisy
Holly
Iris
Jayde
Luna
Quinn
Rae

I like Nova Rae best!

“Spread ‘em, Blossom, see if we know you” was something my then husband would say.

Do you really want her nn to be bloomers or even new bloomers?
Also not a very elegant name sounding word.

I'd personally pick a slightly more namey-name/traditional name to go with Nova, as that's already fairly 'out-there', so nice to have 2 options of different levels of stand-out or blend-in, depending on what she'd prefer when older
(I don't want this to seem mean! I like Nova it's lovely, just putting the idea out there)

If definitely going to be one of those, them Posie as it's slightly more of a name rather than verb.
