HelpRe: Nova
in reply to a message by Perrine
A decade or so ago, my mom mentioned that her nail tech had a baby and named her Nova. My first thought was "You mean, like the smoked salmon?" and I honestly can't get past that association. If you go to a bagel shop and want a bagel with lox, you can either get belly-lox (very salty) or nova (not as salty), nova being the more popular option.
I'm surprised it's gotten so high in the top 1000. It's not a name I've paid much attention to, but I hadn't realized how popular it had gotten.
Anyway, not a fan of that name. Am a fan of the smoked salmon.

Haha...I didn't know about this association! Well, when I think about it, I definitely knew what nova-lox is after having lived in New York but it isn't something that comes to mind when seeing the name Nova. I think more of stars, supernovas, and the word "new". I don't personally like the name but the salmon had never even occurred to me!
