Help[Opinions] meant to reply to OP
in reply to a message by Yorkshire Rose
It's a colloquial word used to mean northern Virginia, where my sister lives, so I mainly think of it like that. I get a headache every time I have to drive in that area, the traffic is that horrific...so Nova in my mind is tinged with fatigue and repressed road rage...the fact that it is also a type of car probably strengthens that initial impression...it also reminds me of novacaine.
But to a lot of people, maybe it just sounds nerdy-pretty and sci-fi because of the astronomy/science connection, and that's kind of in style right now (I think?): Super Nova sounds like a comic book hero...sure enough, I just checked the name page and she's a superhero, so there's that...plus now there's a Power Rangers character - maybe that was connected to the recent spike?
I don't think the NO sound being negative is very relevant here to popularity, judging by Noah / Noa. I wouldn't be surprised if Nova ended up in the top 10 or 20, since soundwise, it's like a compromise between Noah and Ava.
