Probably a no go for Spanish speakers.

I think it was a pun. "No va" in Spanish means "it doesn't go."

Spanish, being a continuation of Latin, recognizes "nova" as its own word; it doesn’t parse as no va. Your pun is an urban legend.

See “Chevy Nova”

Often repeated, but it doesn't make any sense to Spanish speakers. Nova is a word on its own.

Would an English speaker assume a hammer is made of ham?

English speakers seem to belive that it makes sense to call “cheeseburger” a Hamburger with cheese, so who knows.
