I find this name very dull, I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe because I grew up with this word as a corporation name only, and I associate it with boring science videos we were forced to watch in class.
Nova has no soul to it at all. I get why people are into it, it's a nice concept, it's very direct and simple, and it's like a space-age
Nora. But for me it's like calling a kid PBS or something.
If I was forced to use it, maybe I'd try to lean into the "
Nora of the year 3000" energy and pick something that would work for a winsome space scientist from a B-movie:
Nova CirceNova Cyanne
Nova DejanaNova HalynaNova JördisNova Lóa
Nova LoreNova MaeraNova Margunn
Nova Rae or
Nova Ray
Or maybe I'd try to focus on the meaning and construct a fun sentence:
Nova Norma (new rules)
Nova Taika (new magic, new spell)
Nova Lindita (birth of a new day)
Nova Fe (new faith)
Nova Zarah (new blooming flower)
Nova Yume (new dream)
Nova Mirai (new future)
