It isn't pretentious, that's for sure.... Elaine Send a noteboard - 04/08/2010 01:47:19 PM
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.


....since anybody with a shred of dignity or good breeding wouldn't even consider that as a name. It's godawful. You do realise that future employers will read her resumé and laugh? That she will spend her college years saying "No, really, it is my name"? If you want her branded as trash for the rest of her life, go ahead.

After Joel's post about names below, I have a question...a serious one. MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:12:32 PM 1345 Views
Not great, to be honest. Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:17:25 PM 939 Views
I rather doubt you'll get many supportive reactions. Legolas - 03/08/2010 11:20:27 PM 1023 Views
That's kind of what I figured... MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:49:37 PM 963 Views
That's subtler, at least. Legolas - 04/08/2010 12:03:04 AM 970 Views

I'd suggest Magnum! instead. Kuke - 03/08/2010 11:25:04 PM 875 Views
How do you pronounce the !? Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:26:50 PM 949 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 394 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 943 Views
Re: Hm. TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:59:46 PM 897 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 941 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 407 Views
Yes. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:00:33 AM 384 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 379 Views
Not playing silly buggers... MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:53:45 PM 897 Views

Yes you are. Tim - 04/08/2010 08:19:09 AM 917 Views
Name your kids whatever you feel is right. Beqi - 03/08/2010 11:55:02 PM 986 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 375 Views
Hopefully it's not to Mr. Blower. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:07:57 AM 386 Views
This is a valid point. *NM* Tashmere - 04/08/2010 01:14:42 AM 384 Views

I don't see anything pretentious about it snoopcester - 04/08/2010 12:29:14 AM 876 Views
this. *NM* Camilla - 04/08/2010 10:06:18 AM 382 Views
Can I ask why you want to do that? Nate - 04/08/2010 12:29:51 AM 1025 Views
Watermelon Mallet Gallagher. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:32:04 AM 438 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 384 Views
That's awesome BlackAdder - 04/08/2010 12:34:10 AM 942 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

Maybe Off or Egg? *NM* MightyYT - 04/08/2010 03:11:55 AM 415 Views
In truth, it might be better than Betty ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 04/08/2010 02:25:20 AM 1029 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 891 Views
The first thing I think of when I hear Viridian.... Kronin al'Sulc - 04/08/2010 04:42:23 AM 922 Views

Short answer: No, you should not. LadyLorraine - 04/08/2010 02:27:18 AM 1034 Views
Awesome! Have fun explaining the meaning of "snowballing" to a ten-year-old girl. Vodalus - 04/08/2010 02:48:12 AM 928 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 906 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 834 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 355 Views
And goldfish. Goldfish handle terrible names really well. Mine have never complained. *NM* Rebekah - 04/08/2010 08:37:24 AM 451 Views
I dunno. They have such resentful stares. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/08/2010 09:26:59 AM 346 Views
you have to be carefull with the dog thing as well random thoughts - 04/08/2010 02:50:01 PM 765 Views
Another friendly but determined vote for "No way" *NM* ironclad - 04/08/2010 08:27:49 AM 446 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 889 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 393 Views
.a serious one. Palatine - 04/08/2010 05:59:01 PM 954 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 931 Views
Using it as a pet name but not legal name is a great idea. Avendesora - 04/08/2010 07:34:08 PM 888 Views
I am filled with these. *NM* Francie - 04/08/2010 07:40:43 PM 395 Views
Just a thought.. Francie - 10/08/2010 07:50:31 PM 812 Views
