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 1244 Views
Not great, to be honest. Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:17:25 PM 854 Views
I rather doubt you'll get many supportive reactions. Legolas - 03/08/2010 11:20:27 PM 941 Views
That's kind of what I figured... MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:49:37 PM 876 Views
That's subtler, at least. Legolas - 04/08/2010 12:03:04 AM 880 Views

I'd suggest Magnum! instead. Kuke - 03/08/2010 11:25:04 PM 780 Views
How do you pronounce the !? Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:26:50 PM 846 Views
Presumably it has its IPA value: alveolar click. *NM* Tim - 03/08/2010 11:42:33 PM 336 Views
The band "!!!" is pronounced "chk chk chk" *NM* ironclad - 04/08/2010 08:35:40 AM 354 Views
Snow for the middle name. TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:27:47 PM 838 Views
Hm. Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:28:56 PM 845 Views
Re: Hm. TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:59:46 PM 799 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 835 Views
Her nickname could be Beige. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:59:07 PM 358 Views
So she will be confused colorfully? *NM* MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:52:14 PM 370 Views
Yes. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:00:33 AM 347 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 340 Views
Not playing silly buggers... MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:53:45 PM 799 Views
except people will still know it LadyLorraine - 04/08/2010 02:24:30 AM 886 Views
Yes you are. Tim - 04/08/2010 08:19:09 AM 819 Views
Name your kids whatever you feel is right. Beqi - 03/08/2010 11:55:02 PM 897 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 328 Views
Hopefully it's not to Mr. Blower. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:07:57 AM 344 Views
This is a valid point. *NM* Tashmere - 04/08/2010 01:14:42 AM 341 Views

I don't see anything pretentious about it snoopcester - 04/08/2010 12:29:14 AM 797 Views
this. *NM* Camilla - 04/08/2010 10:06:18 AM 341 Views
Can I ask why you want to do that? Nate - 04/08/2010 12:29:51 AM 930 Views
Watermelon Mallet Gallagher. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:32:04 AM 396 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 345 Views
That's awesome BlackAdder - 04/08/2010 12:34:10 AM 845 Views
It's true there are some awesome names that have fallen into disuse... Legolas - 04/08/2010 12:44:55 AM 915 Views
Heh, snoopcester - 04/08/2010 10:23:10 AM 715 Views
how about China? *NM* damookster - 04/08/2010 01:47:07 AM 368 Views
Maybe Off or Egg? *NM* MightyYT - 04/08/2010 03:11:55 AM 376 Views
In truth, it might be better than Betty ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 04/08/2010 02:25:20 AM 941 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 799 Views
The first thing I think of when I hear Viridian.... Kronin al'Sulc - 04/08/2010 04:42:23 AM 828 Views

Short answer: No, you should not. LadyLorraine - 04/08/2010 02:27:18 AM 936 Views
Awesome! Have fun explaining the meaning of "snowballing" to a ten-year-old girl. Vodalus - 04/08/2010 02:48:12 AM 834 Views
What is the meaning of snowballing? *NM* The_Muted_Grimaud - 04/08/2010 04:13:32 PM 370 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 816 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 746 Views
hopefully you will mary someone smart enough to stop this madness *NM* random thoughts - 04/08/2010 05:43:25 AM 320 Views
After reading other's responses. . . Amys - 04/08/2010 06:41:33 AM 818 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 309 Views
And goldfish. Goldfish handle terrible names really well. Mine have never complained. *NM* Rebekah - 04/08/2010 08:37:24 AM 413 Views
I dunno. They have such resentful stares. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/08/2010 09:26:59 AM 304 Views
you have to be carefull with the dog thing as well random thoughts - 04/08/2010 02:50:01 PM 667 Views
Another friendly but determined vote for "No way" *NM* ironclad - 04/08/2010 08:27:49 AM 404 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 359 Views
It isn't pretentious, that's for sure.... Elaine - 04/08/2010 01:47:19 PM 883 Views
Sounds like something I would do Tigr - 04/08/2010 02:27:09 PM 796 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 351 Views
.a serious one. Palatine - 04/08/2010 05:59:01 PM 853 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 833 Views
Using it as a pet name but not legal name is a great idea. Avendesora - 04/08/2010 07:34:08 PM 799 Views
I am filled with these. *NM* Francie - 04/08/2010 07:40:43 PM 353 Views
Just a thought.. Francie - 10/08/2010 07:50:31 PM 729 Views
