Meh nossy Send a noteboard - 04/08/2010 03:14:28 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.

It's not really nice to do something like that to a child just because you like it. If Snow were a common name, it might be different.

After Joel's post about names below, I have a question...a serious one. MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:12:32 PM 1306 Views
Not great, to be honest. Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:17:25 PM 906 Views
I rather doubt you'll get many supportive reactions. Legolas - 03/08/2010 11:20:27 PM 996 Views
That's kind of what I figured... MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:49:37 PM 931 Views
That's subtler, at least. Legolas - 04/08/2010 12:03:04 AM 937 Views

I'd suggest Magnum! instead. Kuke - 03/08/2010 11:25:04 PM 841 Views
How do you pronounce the !? Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:26:50 PM 911 Views
Presumably it has its IPA value: alveolar click. *NM* Tim - 03/08/2010 11:42:33 PM 366 Views
The band "!!!" is pronounced "chk chk chk" *NM* ironclad - 04/08/2010 08:35:40 AM 381 Views
Snow for the middle name. TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:27:47 PM 916 Views
Hm. Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:28:56 PM 907 Views
Re: Hm. TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:59:46 PM 860 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 905 Views
Her nickname could be Beige. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:59:07 PM 383 Views
So she will be confused colorfully? *NM* MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:52:14 PM 395 Views
Yes. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:00:33 AM 368 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 365 Views
Not playing silly buggers... MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:53:45 PM 869 Views

Yes you are. Tim - 04/08/2010 08:19:09 AM 887 Views
Name your kids whatever you feel is right. Beqi - 03/08/2010 11:55:02 PM 957 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 357 Views
Hopefully it's not to Mr. Blower. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:07:57 AM 369 Views
This is a valid point. *NM* Tashmere - 04/08/2010 01:14:42 AM 369 Views
At leat I'm inspiring. Joel - 04/08/2010 12:15:18 AM 832 Views
I don't see anything pretentious about it snoopcester - 04/08/2010 12:29:14 AM 843 Views
this. *NM* Camilla - 04/08/2010 10:06:18 AM 364 Views
Can I ask why you want to do that? Nate - 04/08/2010 12:29:51 AM 992 Views
Watermelon Mallet Gallagher. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:32:04 AM 424 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 371 Views
That's awesome BlackAdder - 04/08/2010 12:34:10 AM 903 Views
It's true there are some awesome names that have fallen into disuse... Legolas - 04/08/2010 12:44:55 AM 982 Views
Heh, snoopcester - 04/08/2010 10:23:10 AM 774 Views

Maybe Off or Egg? *NM* MightyYT - 04/08/2010 03:11:55 AM 400 Views
In truth, it might be better than Betty ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 04/08/2010 02:25:20 AM 993 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 861 Views
The first thing I think of when I hear Viridian.... Kronin al'Sulc - 04/08/2010 04:42:23 AM 895 Views

Short answer: No, you should not. LadyLorraine - 04/08/2010 02:27:18 AM 1000 Views
Awesome! Have fun explaining the meaning of "snowballing" to a ten-year-old girl. Vodalus - 04/08/2010 02:48:12 AM 897 Views
What is the meaning of snowballing? *NM* The_Muted_Grimaud - 04/08/2010 04:13:32 PM 394 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 867 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 801 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 333 Views
And goldfish. Goldfish handle terrible names really well. Mine have never complained. *NM* Rebekah - 04/08/2010 08:37:24 AM 437 Views
I dunno. They have such resentful stares. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/08/2010 09:26:59 AM 330 Views
you have to be carefull with the dog thing as well random thoughts - 04/08/2010 02:50:01 PM 722 Views
Another friendly but determined vote for "No way" *NM* ironclad - 04/08/2010 08:27:49 AM 429 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 383 Views
It isn't pretentious, that's for sure.... Elaine - 04/08/2010 01:47:19 PM 940 Views
Sounds like something I would do Tigr - 04/08/2010 02:27:09 PM 856 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 376 Views
.a serious one. Palatine - 04/08/2010 05:59:01 PM 922 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 903 Views
Using it as a pet name but not legal name is a great idea. Avendesora - 04/08/2010 07:34:08 PM 862 Views
I am filled with these. *NM* Francie - 04/08/2010 07:40:43 PM 378 Views
Just a thought.. Francie - 10/08/2010 07:50:31 PM 783 Views
