knock some sense into me pls

Yes, it’s me again, from that Lennyn thread.

I have spent hours looking through lists and this is the only one I like. Yes I am v fussy with names. very

The name is NOVA. is it stupid? if so just suggest some names to me pls.

P.s. it was also a night of great historical research. Honestly had no clue who Lenin / Starlin / Trotsky were so yeah now I know.

Star-Lyn tickled me

How can you not have known who Lenin and Stalin were?

I'm not keen on Nova but it is perfectly usable. Also not that unusual. I agree with a pp that it fits with a currently popular style of Lyra, Alba, Luna, which are all becoming more used. I like Luna of those. If you like Penelope and Camilla I think you should use one of them. I really don't get this British class thing though about names being out of your class.
other ideas:
Celeste
Estelle
Georgia
Minna
Kaia

I know an adult Nova! She's American.

Nova is a beautiful name, I know one, in her 40s and she is divine

Imagine the teacher. ' no nova.'

Friend's wife is Nova. She's late 30s or so. It's not an out there or 'new' name

Stella is nice - means star.
Selena - Greek goddess of the moon.

@OhioOhioOhio I'm imagining it and I don't see a problem

Slightly worried someone would not have heard of the Russian Revolution etc.

If you didn’t take history at GCSE and history isn’t really your thing then it’s possible I suppose.

Nova just makes me think of the old Vauxhall car.

Very popular girls name in Sweden some years ago. Over 6000 people have it as their first name.

Nove is cute

Thank you for suggestions!

I took geography at gcse!

Then when the teachers says......now boys and girls.....what's your name backwards......AVON.

Not meant to show a confused face OP. Was meant light hearted.

I follow a nice instagram account where the influencer has an adopted daughter called Nova. I didn't love it at first but it's grown on me - I now think it's quite sweet.
