If you like it, use it. You could use nn’s: Novie (no-vee) or Ella.

cute for a little girl....NOT so much a woman. She’ll grow, she won’t be little forever!

If you keep coming back to it, that means it’s yours. You want it for your sweet little daughter, & it’s not my favorite, but it would defiantly grow on me !! Novella sounds soft & sweet. Ella is a gorgeous nickname if you decide to go with something less unique to call her. Novie is so cute as the pp suggested too <3 I say go for it, I think Novella Grace or Novella Charlotte would be just lovely. GL & Congrats [ also remember, just go with your heart on what you want to name your princess !! ]

I just posted above that I like the name and I was asking my husband what he thought because I actually like it and wondered if he might want to put it on our name list. He speaks spanish and told me that Novella means "pocketbook" in Spanish. Not that that should sway you against using it, but you just might want to keep that in mind. There are a lot of names like that in English that I ask my husband about and he tells me they have some crazy meaning in Spanish but it doesn’t mean people don’t use them. Like Savannah, means sheet in Spanish and I guess most people don’t know or don’t care. Just FYI.

It also means "short book" to many authors. Like Stephen King’s book "The Mist" says it is a novella.
