Novie Nell?

Purely because I've never heard of Novie before, what do you think of Novie Nell? It's the name of Zoella's new baby, sister to Ottilie Rue.

The parents are doing their kids no favours by plastering their lives online before they can consent to it. This baby is less than a month old and already has a mn thread - that she can read in the future - saying how crap her name is! Irresponsible parenting with no thought to the children.

My children have zero online footprint.

If you like Nell, how about Helen as the given name, with Nell as nickname. Although to be honest I think Nell would soon be stretched to Nellie and then all I can think of is elephants.....

Novotel hotel chain....

Is it Novie as in Movie or as in (can’t think of anything that rhymes).

Either way, it’s a twatty name. Nell is nice though.

stovie (I believe it is a Scottish delicacy, or possibly ribsticker)

Sounds like the name of a killer doll from a horror film.

Utterly hideous.

Yeah this!

Why not use the name - Travellie-Loj @toastofthetown ?

NotFastButFurious · 12/12/2023 19:46

Anyone else googling who Zoella is?? 👀

dressedforcomfort · 12/12/2023 20:10

It’s not the OP’s baby. It’s not even a long post. How are people missing this?

Ridiculous name, does she hate her daughter?

Ellmau · 12/12/2023 22:53

It sounds like a character in a Western.

TinselAngel · 12/12/2023 23:18

Novotel

Chipsandbeansandcheese · 13/12/2023 08:34

Fucking awful.

@FreshWinterMorning 😂

Chersfrozenface · 13/12/2023 09:05

Novavax leapt to mind.
I've not long had my Covid jab, that might be why.

Doglover19 · 13/12/2023 11:15

I know a little Nori that's a bit softer than novi.

OhNaffOffYouWazzock · 13/12/2023 16:56

Novie is awful, Novie Nell is worse. It sounds like Nosy Nell 🙄
Ottilie Rue is pretty bad too.
They'll Ottilie Rue the day they called their kid Novie Nell!

Daisybuttercup12345 · 13/12/2023 17:00

Absolutely ridiculous. 💯

Costacoffeeplease · 13/12/2023 17:14

Sounds like fake swearing eg chuffin’ ’ell

AQuantityOfNaughtyCats · 13/12/2023 17:18

For clarity- is this a girl or a boy?

Pemba · 13/12/2023 18:37

Is it pronounced like No-vee or Noovie to rhyme with movie? Did she make it up? Hmm, I don't hate it , but it is a bit odd. Nell is nice though, although better as a shortening of Helen/a, Eleanor or maybe Penelope. The whole name is quite alliterative, isn't it?

ChateauDuMont · 13/12/2023 18:52

Nell is fine but Novie is awful.
