Don't. Have it as her nickname, but not her real name. It's charming but also charmingly silly. *NM* Kallichore Send a noteboard - 04/08/2010 09:47:34 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.

After Joel's post about names below, I have a question...a serious one. MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:12:32 PM 1386 Views
Not great, to be honest. Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:17:25 PM 987 Views
I rather doubt you'll get many supportive reactions. Legolas - 03/08/2010 11:20:27 PM 1065 Views
That's kind of what I figured... MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:49:37 PM 1009 Views
That's subtler, at least. Legolas - 04/08/2010 12:03:04 AM 1014 Views

I'd suggest Magnum! instead. Kuke - 03/08/2010 11:25:04 PM 921 Views
How do you pronounce the !? Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:26:50 PM 992 Views
Presumably it has its IPA value: alveolar click. *NM* Tim - 03/08/2010 11:42:33 PM 402 Views

Snow for the middle name. TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:27:47 PM 988 Views
Hm. Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:28:56 PM 990 Views
Re: Hm. TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:59:46 PM 938 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 982 Views
Her nickname could be Beige. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:59:07 PM 421 Views
So she will be confused colorfully? *NM* MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:52:14 PM 431 Views
Yes. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:00:33 AM 408 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 405 Views
Not playing silly buggers... MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:53:45 PM 934 Views

Name your kids whatever you feel is right. Beqi - 03/08/2010 11:55:02 PM 1031 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 396 Views
Hopefully it's not to Mr. Blower. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:07:57 AM 408 Views
This is a valid point. *NM* Tashmere - 04/08/2010 01:14:42 AM 405 Views
At leat I'm inspiring. Joel - 04/08/2010 12:15:18 AM 909 Views
I don't see anything pretentious about it snoopcester - 04/08/2010 12:29:14 AM 919 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 1068 Views
Watermelon Mallet Gallagher. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:32:04 AM 461 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 408 Views
That's awesome BlackAdder - 04/08/2010 12:34:10 AM 983 Views
It's true there are some awesome names that have fallen into disuse... Legolas - 04/08/2010 12:44:55 AM 1068 Views
Heh, snoopcester - 04/08/2010 10:23:10 AM 837 Views

Maybe Off or Egg? *NM* MightyYT - 04/08/2010 03:11:55 AM 441 Views
In truth, it might be better than Betty ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 04/08/2010 02:25:20 AM 1070 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 929 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 960 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 379 Views
And goldfish. Goldfish handle terrible names really well. Mine have never complained. *NM* Rebekah - 04/08/2010 08:37:24 AM 476 Views
I dunno. They have such resentful stares. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/08/2010 09:26:59 AM 370 Views
you have to be carefull with the dog thing as well random thoughts - 04/08/2010 02:50:01 PM 810 Views
Another friendly but determined vote for "No way" *NM* ironclad - 04/08/2010 08:27:49 AM 471 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 429 Views
It isn't pretentious, that's for sure.... Elaine - 04/08/2010 01:47:19 PM 1010 Views
Sounds like something I would do Tigr - 04/08/2010 02:27:09 PM 925 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 991 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 978 Views
Using it as a pet name but not legal name is a great idea. Avendesora - 04/08/2010 07:34:08 PM 934 Views
I am filled with these. *NM* Francie - 04/08/2010 07:40:43 PM 419 Views
