My friend's family just welcomed a new granddaughter yesterday.

Her name is Nova Rain B____.

WDYT?

Personally, it reminds me of that NuvaRing birth control thing

I actually really like the combination. I never would have thought of the NuvaRing connection! But I like Nova and Rain together, I don't know if I like Nova all by itself.

I sort of like Nova, but I really, really dislike this combination.

I love both Nova and Rain but not together.

I like Nova and Rain, but not together. It's way too hippy for me. I think Novella is a pretty alternative to Nova with the nn Nova. I think Novella Rain would have sounded a lot better.

I will say though, that Novella is a guilty pleasure even for me. It doesn't seem to be on a lot of baby naming websites--like behindthename.com so it's kind of made up.

I too, think of Nuva Ring! Yikes!

Though the spelling is slightly different, Novela and Novella, for those of us who speak Spanish will automatically think of the Spanish soap operas.

No all Spanish soap operas are generally called novelas, it basically like the translation of the words soap operas.

The word [novella] is kind of pretty, but I can't see it as a name. ^^

You should "accidentally" call the baby nuvaring in front of the parents one day just to see their reaction.

Maybe she was a birth control failure, haha!

LOL! XD Well, now that you mention it...

Separately, I don't mind the names. They're a bit much together.

I agree, Nova Rain is a bit much as a full name.

My dad's first thought when I read him the name was novocaine. :\

I kind of like Nova and I kind of like Rain, but they are definitely no good together.

I don't like it at all. Nova is a kind of salmon, and a kind of Chevy. No thanks.

I'm torn. I actually really like the name Nova. But Nova Rain? The first thing I think of is Star Rain, which makes me think of My Little Ponies. And NuvaRing? Yeah, after you mentioned that, well it is a bell that can't exactly be un-rung. ;)


We had friends who named their daughter Nova Eleanor Maeve, which I like much better.
