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 1281 Views
Not great, to be honest. Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:17:25 PM 880 Views
I rather doubt you'll get many supportive reactions. Legolas - 03/08/2010 11:20:27 PM 974 Views
That's kind of what I figured... MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:49:37 PM 907 Views
That's subtler, at least. Legolas - 04/08/2010 12:03:04 AM 911 Views

I'd suggest Magnum! instead. Kuke - 03/08/2010 11:25:04 PM 817 Views
How do you pronounce the !? Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:26:50 PM 884 Views
Presumably it has its IPA value: alveolar click. *NM* Tim - 03/08/2010 11:42:33 PM 348 Views
The band "!!!" is pronounced "chk chk chk" *NM* ironclad - 04/08/2010 08:35:40 AM 370 Views
Snow for the middle name. TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:27:47 PM 871 Views
Hm. Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:28:56 PM 881 Views
Re: Hm. TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:59:46 PM 827 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 866 Views
Her nickname could be Beige. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:59:07 PM 370 Views
So she will be confused colorfully? *NM* MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:52:14 PM 383 Views
Yes. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:00:33 AM 359 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 350 Views
Not playing silly buggers... MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:53:45 PM 834 Views

Name your kids whatever you feel is right. Beqi - 03/08/2010 11:55:02 PM 927 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 342 Views
Hopefully it's not to Mr. Blower. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:07:57 AM 354 Views
This is a valid point. *NM* Tashmere - 04/08/2010 01:14:42 AM 352 Views
At leat I'm inspiring. Joel - 04/08/2010 12:15:18 AM 805 Views
I don't see anything pretentious about it snoopcester - 04/08/2010 12:29:14 AM 825 Views
this. *NM* Camilla - 04/08/2010 10:06:18 AM 352 Views
Can I ask why you want to do that? Nate - 04/08/2010 12:29:51 AM 960 Views
Watermelon Mallet Gallagher. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:32:04 AM 409 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 356 Views
That's awesome BlackAdder - 04/08/2010 12:34:10 AM 875 Views
It's true there are some awesome names that have fallen into disuse... Legolas - 04/08/2010 12:44:55 AM 954 Views
Heh, snoopcester - 04/08/2010 10:23:10 AM 747 Views

Maybe Off or Egg? *NM* MightyYT - 04/08/2010 03:11:55 AM 388 Views
In truth, it might be better than Betty ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 04/08/2010 02:25:20 AM 969 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 832 Views
The first thing I think of when I hear Viridian.... Kronin al'Sulc - 04/08/2010 04:42:23 AM 863 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 845 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 321 Views
And goldfish. Goldfish handle terrible names really well. Mine have never complained. *NM* Rebekah - 04/08/2010 08:37:24 AM 425 Views
I dunno. They have such resentful stares. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/08/2010 09:26:59 AM 316 Views
you have to be carefull with the dog thing as well random thoughts - 04/08/2010 02:50:01 PM 699 Views
Another friendly but determined vote for "No way" *NM* ironclad - 04/08/2010 08:27:49 AM 415 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 374 Views
It isn't pretentious, that's for sure.... Elaine - 04/08/2010 01:47:19 PM 916 Views
Sounds like something I would do Tigr - 04/08/2010 02:27:09 PM 830 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 366 Views
.a serious one. Palatine - 04/08/2010 05:59:01 PM 891 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 870 Views
Using it as a pet name but not legal name is a great idea. Avendesora - 04/08/2010 07:34:08 PM 834 Views
I am filled with these. *NM* Francie - 04/08/2010 07:40:43 PM 365 Views
