[Opinions] Family BA
My cousin Adam and his wife Sonya welcomed a baby boy named... *drumroll*Nova PatrickI'm really confused because when I asked them about the name, I said "Just don't name him Kaden." They replied "Kaden? That's not a real name." Nova is?? What?? I would've preferred Kaden.

I don't care for Noah, but I like Patrick, and I think that the combo flows nicely.I like Nova for a girl. I'm not sure if I like it for a boy, but Nova Patrick would have been interesting nonetheless.

Huh. Nova Patrick would have been less boring! I love the name Nova (but I've never seen it on a boy before. Even so, I'f probably prefer it to Noah...)

Thank GoodnessIf Nova is to be used I think it should be on a little girl with something very pretty afterwards - like Nova Christine or Nova BeatriceLoving Noah Patrick, by the way!

That's a relief! I've never liked Nova. I know many people think first of astronomy or the PBS show, but I always think of cars. To me, it's too much like naming a kid Chevette or Gremlin.

I prefer Nova Patrick. My sister had a classmate in middle school whose brother was named Nova. I always felt that it was an awesome name. I prefer Nova for a boy than for a girl. Probably in part because the only Nova I've ever met was a boy.Noah Patrick is also cute but nms. :)

That's so much better! Noah is my #1 for a boy even though it's popular. Noah Patrick is a nice name. :)

I think it's an improvement.I'd much rather be Noah than Nova. Nova is a TV show.

Ha. I like Noah, but it's pretty dull when paired with Patrick.

Darn.I was kinda' liking the idea of a little boy named Nova.

disappointNoah is nice but yawn.

sameI would have enjoyed seeing Nova on a boy, actually.My primary association with Noah is "annoying younger brother" -- I knew two or three people in primary school with little siblings named Noah, and they were all obnoxious in one way or another.

Well, we're always complaining about boy's names on girls. It was bound to happen eventually.Nova isn't terrible. It doesn't sound especially feminine because the -a ending, but there are worse names he could have been given.& I kinda' like it. I would never use it, but for someone else's kid it's not the end of the world.

This. It's not terrible, just a bit unusual.

Ew to the nth degree.Patrick is so ugly it's cute. It's ugly cute.Nova is not a boy's name. Jeeebs.

Wonder if anyone will call him Super?

I think it's kind of neat. It's one sound off from Noah, so what's the big deal?
41 boys were named Nova in 2011, so this one isn't alone!

What the h*ll?Nova is a legit name. And I actually quite like it. But on a BOY? I don't like masculine names on girls either, but this...no words really. At least Patrick is nice.

Nova is too feminine for my taste, but I like Patrick. Congrats on the baby!
