If I'm having a baby girl I've got my heart stuck on the name Nova. (I know this name isn't everyone's cup of tea, but the meaning means a lot to me) so if anyone can help with some middle name ideas that would be perfect! (If there's none I like- I'm going to use my mum or my nans name as the middle name) ❤️⭐️

You so t have to have a middle name! I didn't give mine middle names and they are adults and it's never caused any problems. I've never had any use for my middle name.

Nova is a pretty name . I feel a one syllable name would go better with it.

Nova Leigh.

Nova Maeve.

Nova Rose

Nova Paige

Nova Eve

Nova Faye

Nova May

Nova Ann

Nova Pearl

Nova Grace

Anything but Rose/Grace/May. Filler middle names for all girls and so overdone.

MoorlandWanderer · 07/09/2023 12:36

Nova is cute.

From a speech sound point of view, I would avoid a vowel at the start of the middle name as it adds an r sound (Nova Ann would be said ‘Nova Ran’).

Nova Fearne

MillicentTrilbyHiggins · 07/09/2023 12:43

Nova Joan popped into my head immediately. Don't know why.

Ann and Jane are nice too.

Nova Lynn
Nova June
Nova Jean

If you like Anne, personally I'd put another name in between else it will run together (noveran).

NotFastButFurious · 07/09/2023 13:50

Nova Ann definitely runs together too easily, particularly if you say it quickly! It sounds like overran. I think you need something starting with a hard consonant.
Nova Joanne?

What are your mum and granny names?

I quite like Nova. It's unusual enough without being silly and I don't think it will date.

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 07/09/2023 13:55

Louise.

lljkk · 07/09/2023 13:56

I'd go all out with it being modern first name, so go for modern &/or quirky 2nd name, too.

Nova Desiree, Nova Melody, Nova Melissa, Nova Alison, Nova Persephone, Nova Adrienne etc.

DiaNaranja · 07/09/2023 14:09

I think Nova Elise sounds really nice. Or Nova June, Nova Katie, Nova Isabelle, Nova Holly, Nova Annabel, Nova Grace, Nova Tamsin.
