OMG this is funny to read this right now, as I literally just finished watching Dancer in the Dark (for the thousandth time) less than five minutes ago!!!
I think Novy is totally cute, but I prefer Novi... I think it is usable!!!
On a related and yet not related topic, I was just thinking of posting the name Bjork as I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE it and her... so really funny to see this post!
And of course if you haven't seen Dancer in the Dark then I probably sound a little insane right now! :P

I think it's very handsome. It's on my list, also.

It's alright. I'd want to pronounce it NO-vee though, and I think that's how other people would say it too. It reminds me of the name of a city in my state though.

Name??
Hmmm... Since when is Novy a name?? Oldrich Novy -Novy was his surname, not a middle name. In my native (Slovakian) it means new, the same in Czech, and other Slavic languages. I think it's a bit weird, like calling a child New.

In Russian at least the word came from is no-VUY so it sounds wrong to me because I take Russian. Also it seems weird to take a foreign surname and turn it into a first name just because. If it's special to you then by all means explain. Otherwise stick to using it as a mn or not at all.
