At leat I'm inspiring. Joel Send a noteboard - 04/08/2010 12:15:18 AM
Or at least one to which I would like your opinions.

My last name is White and if I ever have a daughter, I fully intend for at least one of her names to be Snow. Either first name or the name just before the last name.

What do you think? Pretentious? Cute? Asking for a superiority complex?

EDIT: I should point out that I have wanted to do this for about 10 years now.

Yeah, if your heart's set on it, I'd definitely make it the middle name. At least you're spelling them like a literate person; I REALLY hate when people decide "Allen" is spelled A'lynne. I mean, it's not my kid--MY kids will be LOVED.... :dead:

After Joel's post about names below, I have a question...a serious one. MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:12:32 PM 1381 Views
Not great, to be honest. Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:17:25 PM 980 Views
I rather doubt you'll get many supportive reactions. Legolas - 03/08/2010 11:20:27 PM 1062 Views
That's kind of what I figured... MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:49:37 PM 998 Views
That's subtler, at least. Legolas - 04/08/2010 12:03:04 AM 1008 Views

I'd suggest Magnum! instead. Kuke - 03/08/2010 11:25:04 PM 914 Views
How do you pronounce the !? Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:26:50 PM 986 Views
Presumably it has its IPA value: alveolar click. *NM* Tim - 03/08/2010 11:42:33 PM 402 Views
The band "!!!" is pronounced "chk chk chk" *NM* ironclad - 04/08/2010 08:35:40 AM 417 Views
Snow for the middle name. TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:27:47 PM 984 Views
Hm. Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:28:56 PM 984 Views
Re: Hm. TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:59:46 PM 930 Views
You'd have to make it a double-barrelled first name, otherwise it'd just be "Yellow White". Tim - 03/08/2010 11:30:01 PM 976 Views
Her nickname could be Beige. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:59:07 PM 420 Views
So she will be confused colorfully? *NM* MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:52:14 PM 429 Views
Yes. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:00:33 AM 406 Views
Sorry to be a spoilsport, but playing silly buggers with your children's lives is just not cool. *NM* Tim - 03/08/2010 11:30:54 PM 403 Views
Not playing silly buggers... MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:53:45 PM 928 Views
except people will still know it LadyLorraine - 04/08/2010 02:24:30 AM 1016 Views
Yes you are. Tim - 04/08/2010 08:19:09 AM 949 Views
Name your kids whatever you feel is right. Beqi - 03/08/2010 11:55:02 PM 1025 Views
I think it's cute but probably a bad idea, she might get married young just to change it *NM* Isaac - 04/08/2010 12:04:40 AM 395 Views
Hopefully it's not to Mr. Blower. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:07:57 AM 406 Views
This is a valid point. *NM* Tashmere - 04/08/2010 01:14:42 AM 404 Views

I don't see anything pretentious about it snoopcester - 04/08/2010 12:29:14 AM 913 Views
this. *NM* Camilla - 04/08/2010 10:06:18 AM 402 Views
Can I ask why you want to do that? Nate - 04/08/2010 12:29:51 AM 1064 Views
Watermelon Mallet Gallagher. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:32:04 AM 460 Views
My parents meant well, but I couldn't live up to the expectations and had to change it. *NM* Nate - 04/08/2010 12:36:44 AM 406 Views
That's awesome BlackAdder - 04/08/2010 12:34:10 AM 978 Views
It's true there are some awesome names that have fallen into disuse... Legolas - 04/08/2010 12:44:55 AM 1061 Views
Heh, snoopcester - 04/08/2010 10:23:10 AM 833 Views
how about China? *NM* damookster - 04/08/2010 01:47:07 AM 423 Views
Maybe Off or Egg? *NM* MightyYT - 04/08/2010 03:11:55 AM 440 Views
In truth, it might be better than Betty ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 04/08/2010 02:25:20 AM 1063 Views
On a more embarassing note, I love the name Virginia, that would be worse than snow by a mile ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 04/08/2010 02:32:00 AM 924 Views
The first thing I think of when I hear Viridian.... Kronin al'Sulc - 04/08/2010 04:42:23 AM 955 Views

Short answer: No, you should not. LadyLorraine - 04/08/2010 02:27:18 AM 1071 Views
Awesome! Have fun explaining the meaning of "snowballing" to a ten-year-old girl. Vodalus - 04/08/2010 02:48:12 AM 959 Views
What is the meaning of snowballing? *NM* The_Muted_Grimaud - 04/08/2010 04:13:32 PM 431 Views

If you have a son, name him Major Major and change his last name to Major. Vivien - 04/08/2010 04:24:12 AM 954 Views
Re: If you have a son, name him Major Major and change his last name to Major. snoopcester - 04/08/2010 10:24:11 AM 870 Views
hopefully you will mary someone smart enough to stop this madness *NM* random thoughts - 04/08/2010 05:43:25 AM 387 Views
After reading other's responses. . . Amys - 04/08/2010 06:41:33 AM 938 Views
Everyone is being too nice. It's a stupid idea. And it's selfish. Leave "cute" names for your dog. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/08/2010 08:01:35 AM 377 Views
And goldfish. Goldfish handle terrible names really well. Mine have never complained. *NM* Rebekah - 04/08/2010 08:37:24 AM 475 Views
I dunno. They have such resentful stares. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/08/2010 09:26:59 AM 368 Views
you have to be carefull with the dog thing as well random thoughts - 04/08/2010 02:50:01 PM 802 Views
Another friendly but determined vote for "No way" *NM* ironclad - 04/08/2010 08:27:49 AM 470 Views
Don't. Have it as her nickname, but not her real name. It's charming but also charmingly silly. *NM* Kallichore - 04/08/2010 09:47:34 AM 425 Views
It isn't pretentious, that's for sure.... Elaine - 04/08/2010 01:47:19 PM 1006 Views
Sounds like something I would do Tigr - 04/08/2010 02:27:09 PM 921 Views
My vote: no. Too much teasing. Nobody wants that. It'll be cool til she's 4. But that's it. *NM* Avendesora - 04/08/2010 03:02:15 PM 416 Views
.a serious one. Palatine - 04/08/2010 05:59:01 PM 989 Views
I don't think this is a terribly good idea, for many of the reasons posted - but I have a suggestion Francie - 04/08/2010 06:03:44 PM 974 Views
Using it as a pet name but not legal name is a great idea. Avendesora - 04/08/2010 07:34:08 PM 927 Views
I am filled with these. *NM* Francie - 04/08/2010 07:40:43 PM 419 Views
Just a thought.. Francie - 10/08/2010 07:50:31 PM 846 Views
