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.
