How this list is chosen
A candidate is a published profile, not the same spelling family as Nova. It starts with a different letter, has a different length, and brings the combined length to 8–16. It also needs a peak within 20 years of 2022 or the same direction from 2021 to 2025. Unknown directions do not match. Each middle name matches Nova’s larger 2025 category (female), or the middle name’s female share of its 2025 count is 20–80%. The order is the same larger category, then a closer peak year, then a closer 2025 rank, then the larger count. Ending letters, vowel groups, and a letter offset that depends on Nova break ties. Vowel groups are runs of a, e, i, o, u, or y, not a pronunciation. 40 pairings are shown. This page does not claim these are traditional middle names for Nova.
