I have the name Terranova on my blog but never added Nova alone so the other day when I heard this name on T.V I decided I might as well add it. The name is beautiful and astronomy wise it is a beautiful name to be given to a character. The Native American meaning is beautiful and cute too. It's a short name which could be a major plus as well.
