Re: Nova Isel
I have a lukewarm reaction to Nova. On one hand, I like the look/sound and that it reminds me of stars (supernova). On the other hand, it seems more like a name for a comic book character than a person, to me...or so hip and newfangled, it's cliche. The fact that Nova is a term I hear used semi-regularly to refer to northern Virginia doesn't help.I love Isel, though. This is the first time I've seen it, and it reminds me of: Ivy, Hazel, Sisel, Isis, Isolde, Giselle, Griselda (all of which I like to varying degrees).So, I actually like the combo a lot. It comes across to me as: energetic, natural, modern, unexpected, complex.
