Indigo or Nova?

Which would you choose out of these two and why?

Indigo, because I love the nickname potential! I think Indie is super cute :slight_smile:

Nova is nice, but might blend in with names like Nora, Nola, Ava, etc. Indigo is vivid, spunky, and fun!

Accidental double post. So very sorry!

I honestly don’t see either one aging well, but I like [name_f]Nova[/name_f] more.

Definitely [name_u]Indigo[/name_u]. [name_f]Nova[/name_f] comes off as a little bit tacky to me. I like [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] more for a boy, but I still prefer it over [name_f]Nova[/name_f]

[name_f]Nova[/name_f]! [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] is too long and clunky for my taste. [name_f]Nova[/name_f] feels current and fresh.

I actually really like both! I love the nickname [name_f]Indie[/name_f] and [name_f]Nova[/name_f] is not as popular as [name_f]Nora[/name_f] :). Both names are a little eclectic and spunky in my opinion.

Definitely [name_f]Nova[/name_f]. I like its meaning and its astronomy connection.

I would choose [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] for a few reasons: 1. feels more complete as a name to me; 2. I love the color [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] and the ocean/water imagery it gives me, and 3. [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] has the lovely nickname [name_f]Indie[/name_f]/[name_f]Indy[/name_f].

Thanks for the replies! Looks like it’s half and half so far, more opinions are welcome!

I really like both, but [name_f]Nova[/name_f] feels slightly more wearable to me, probably because of its similarity to [name_f]Ava[/name_f] and [name_f]Nora[/name_f]. I can see how it might blend in with those or other similar-sounding names, but that definitely doesn’t mean it’s too flimsy to stand on its own!

[name_f]Nova[/name_f] is so pretty!

Thank you. I was worried [name_f]Nova[/name_f] was slightly trashy? Would also be intrigued if that would depend on what country you are in :confused:

I prefer [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] to [name_f]Nova[/name_f] :slight_smile:

I love [name_f]Indie[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], so my vote goes to [name_u]Indigo[/name_u].

Another vote for [name_u]Indigo[/name_u]!

I find [name_f]Nova[/name_f] quite harsh and unappealing whereas I think [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] is cute and spunky, so definitely [name_u]Indigo[/name_u]! I’ve only ever known [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] as a girl’s name. I love the colour and it also has sweet nn in [name_f]Indie[/name_f]. ‘o’ ending names, especially for girls, also feel kind of cool and unexpected.

It was [name_f]Indie[/name_f] that attracted me to [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] to start with, love it!

Personally I would go with [name_f]Indie[/name_f] as the full name.

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you think [name_f]Indie[/name_f] could stand alone as a full name? I think [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] is maybe a bit ‘out there’ by some people’s standards, wouldn’t want her to be judged negatively by her name. I’m in the UK, not sure if that would make any difference.
