this adjective "nouveau, nouvel, nouvelle" is an exception, it comes before the noun like English so as Solyne said "Comment s'appelle ce nouvel homme?" is correct. :)

Solyne said right.
Here is a small lesson about placement of the adjective in french sentences :

It seems right! I am a native english speaker but I have been studying French for 6 years. In english we would say new man, but in french it is kind of flip-floped they say the noun first before describing it.
For example:
In english "Pink skirt"
and in French it would be "Jupe rose"
