In truth, it might be better than Betty ... The_Muted_Grimaud Send a noteboard - 04/08/2010 02:25:20 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.


I'm not innocent, if I have a say, I'd like to name a daughter 'Viridian'. Which is a lovely word that means green.

Snow definitely makes for an awkward first name. And with the white added on, every person who meets her her entire life is going to comment on that. I used to get called Willy Wonka a lot in grade school by a couple of adults, it does get annoying. (And no, my last name is not Wonka, they just called me that anyway! :( ).

After Joel's post about names below, I have a question...a serious one. MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:12:32 PM 1347 Views
Not great, to be honest. Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:17:25 PM 941 Views
I rather doubt you'll get many supportive reactions. Legolas - 03/08/2010 11:20:27 PM 1024 Views
That's kind of what I figured... MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:49:37 PM 964 Views
That's subtler, at least. Legolas - 04/08/2010 12:03:04 AM 971 Views

How do you pronounce the !? Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:26:50 PM 950 Views
Presumably it has its IPA value: alveolar click. *NM* Tim - 03/08/2010 11:42:33 PM 382 Views
The band "!!!" is pronounced "chk chk chk" *NM* ironclad - 04/08/2010 08:35:40 AM 395 Views
Snow for the middle name. TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:27:47 PM 948 Views
Hm. Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:28:56 PM 945 Views
Re: Hm. TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:59:46 PM 898 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 942 Views
Her nickname could be Beige. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:59:07 PM 402 Views
So she will be confused colorfully? *NM* MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:52:14 PM 408 Views
Yes. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:00:33 AM 385 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 380 Views
Not playing silly buggers... MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:53:45 PM 898 Views

Name your kids whatever you feel is right. Beqi - 03/08/2010 11:55:02 PM 987 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 376 Views
Hopefully it's not to Mr. Blower. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:07:57 AM 387 Views
This is a valid point. *NM* Tashmere - 04/08/2010 01:14:42 AM 384 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 385 Views
That's awesome BlackAdder - 04/08/2010 12:34:10 AM 943 Views
It's true there are some awesome names that have fallen into disuse... Legolas - 04/08/2010 12:44:55 AM 1020 Views
Heh, snoopcester - 04/08/2010 10:23:10 AM 804 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 892 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 907 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 835 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 356 Views
And goldfish. Goldfish handle terrible names really well. Mine have never complained. *NM* Rebekah - 04/08/2010 08:37:24 AM 452 Views
I dunno. They have such resentful stares. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/08/2010 09:26:59 AM 347 Views
you have to be carefull with the dog thing as well random thoughts - 04/08/2010 02:50:01 PM 766 Views
Another friendly but determined vote for "No way" *NM* ironclad - 04/08/2010 08:27:49 AM 447 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 405 Views
It isn't pretentious, that's for sure.... Elaine - 04/08/2010 01:47:19 PM 971 Views
Sounds like something I would do Tigr - 04/08/2010 02:27:09 PM 890 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 394 Views
.a serious one. Palatine - 04/08/2010 05:59:01 PM 956 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 933 Views
Using it as a pet name but not legal name is a great idea. Avendesora - 04/08/2010 07:34:08 PM 889 Views
I am filled with these. *NM* Francie - 04/08/2010 07:40:43 PM 396 Views
