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 1230 Views
Not great, to be honest. Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:17:25 PM 815 Views
I rather doubt you'll get many supportive reactions. Legolas - 03/08/2010 11:20:27 PM 925 Views
That's kind of what I figured... MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:49:37 PM 841 Views
That's subtler, at least. Legolas - 04/08/2010 12:03:04 AM 862 Views

How do you pronounce the !? Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:26:50 PM 832 Views
Presumably it has its IPA value: alveolar click. *NM* Tim - 03/08/2010 11:42:33 PM 329 Views
The band "!!!" is pronounced "chk chk chk" *NM* ironclad - 04/08/2010 08:35:40 AM 347 Views
Snow for the middle name. TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:27:47 PM 823 Views
Hm. Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:28:56 PM 829 Views
Re: Hm. TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:59:46 PM 782 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 821 Views
Her nickname could be Beige. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:59:07 PM 350 Views
So she will be confused colorfully? *NM* MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:52:14 PM 362 Views
Yes. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:00:33 AM 339 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 310 Views
Not playing silly buggers... MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:53:45 PM 784 Views

Name your kids whatever you feel is right. Beqi - 03/08/2010 11:55:02 PM 880 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 322 Views
Hopefully it's not to Mr. Blower. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:07:57 AM 335 Views
This is a valid point. *NM* Tashmere - 04/08/2010 01:14:42 AM 329 Views
At leat I'm inspiring. Joel - 04/08/2010 12:15:18 AM 757 Views
I don't see anything pretentious about it snoopcester - 04/08/2010 12:29:14 AM 780 Views
this. *NM* Camilla - 04/08/2010 10:06:18 AM 330 Views
Can I ask why you want to do that? Nate - 04/08/2010 12:29:51 AM 913 Views
Watermelon Mallet Gallagher. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:32:04 AM 368 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 336 Views
That's awesome BlackAdder - 04/08/2010 12:34:10 AM 804 Views

Maybe Off or Egg? *NM* MightyYT - 04/08/2010 03:11:55 AM 346 Views
In truth, it might be better than Betty ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 04/08/2010 02:25:20 AM 924 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 784 Views
The first thing I think of when I hear Viridian.... Kronin al'Sulc - 04/08/2010 04:42:23 AM 817 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 799 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 299 Views
And goldfish. Goldfish handle terrible names really well. Mine have never complained. *NM* Rebekah - 04/08/2010 08:37:24 AM 382 Views
I dunno. They have such resentful stares. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/08/2010 09:26:59 AM 296 Views
you have to be carefull with the dog thing as well random thoughts - 04/08/2010 02:50:01 PM 650 Views
Another friendly but determined vote for "No way" *NM* ironclad - 04/08/2010 08:27:49 AM 373 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 350 Views
It isn't pretentious, that's for sure.... Elaine - 04/08/2010 01:47:19 PM 866 Views
Sounds like something I would do Tigr - 04/08/2010 02:27:09 PM 779 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 342 Views
.a serious one. Palatine - 04/08/2010 05:59:01 PM 839 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 816 Views
Using it as a pet name but not legal name is a great idea. Avendesora - 04/08/2010 07:34:08 PM 784 Views
I am filled with these. *NM* Francie - 04/08/2010 07:40:43 PM 345 Views
