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 1133 Views
Not great, to be honest. Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:17:25 PM 701 Views
I rather doubt you'll get many supportive reactions. Legolas - 03/08/2010 11:20:27 PM 836 Views
That's kind of what I figured... MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:49:37 PM 722 Views
That's subtler, at least. Legolas - 04/08/2010 12:03:04 AM 770 Views

I'd suggest Magnum! instead. Kuke - 03/08/2010 11:25:04 PM 666 Views
How do you pronounce the !? Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:26:50 PM 734 Views
Presumably it has its IPA value: alveolar click. *NM* Tim - 03/08/2010 11:42:33 PM 288 Views
The band "!!!" is pronounced "chk chk chk" *NM* ironclad - 04/08/2010 08:35:40 AM 310 Views
Snow for the middle name. TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:27:47 PM 727 Views
Hm. Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:28:56 PM 734 Views
Re: Hm. TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:59:46 PM 688 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 725 Views
Her nickname could be Beige. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:59:07 PM 305 Views
So she will be confused colorfully? *NM* MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:52:14 PM 321 Views
Yes. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:00:33 AM 298 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 267 Views
Not playing silly buggers... MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:53:45 PM 692 Views

Yes you are. Tim - 04/08/2010 08:19:09 AM 711 Views
Name your kids whatever you feel is right. Beqi - 03/08/2010 11:55:02 PM 788 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 278 Views
Hopefully it's not to Mr. Blower. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:07:57 AM 295 Views
This is a valid point. *NM* Tashmere - 04/08/2010 01:14:42 AM 287 Views
At leat I'm inspiring. Joel - 04/08/2010 12:15:18 AM 689 Views
I don't see anything pretentious about it snoopcester - 04/08/2010 12:29:14 AM 675 Views
this. *NM* Camilla - 04/08/2010 10:06:18 AM 293 Views
Can I ask why you want to do that? Nate - 04/08/2010 12:29:51 AM 813 Views
Watermelon Mallet Gallagher. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:32:04 AM 325 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 299 Views
That's awesome BlackAdder - 04/08/2010 12:34:10 AM 695 Views
It's true there are some awesome names that have fallen into disuse... Legolas - 04/08/2010 12:44:55 AM 791 Views
Heh, snoopcester - 04/08/2010 10:23:10 AM 614 Views
how about China? *NM* damookster - 04/08/2010 01:47:07 AM 325 Views
Maybe Off or Egg? *NM* MightyYT - 04/08/2010 03:11:55 AM 301 Views
In truth, it might be better than Betty ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 04/08/2010 02:25:20 AM 829 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 694 Views
The first thing I think of when I hear Viridian.... Kronin al'Sulc - 04/08/2010 04:42:23 AM 717 Views

Short answer: No, you should not. LadyLorraine - 04/08/2010 02:27:18 AM 801 Views
Awesome! Have fun explaining the meaning of "snowballing" to a ten-year-old girl. Vodalus - 04/08/2010 02:48:12 AM 709 Views
What is the meaning of snowballing? *NM* The_Muted_Grimaud - 04/08/2010 04:13:32 PM 322 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 700 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 636 Views

After reading other's responses. . . Amys - 04/08/2010 06:41:33 AM 709 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 260 Views
And goldfish. Goldfish handle terrible names really well. Mine have never complained. *NM* Rebekah - 04/08/2010 08:37:24 AM 338 Views
I dunno. They have such resentful stares. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/08/2010 09:26:59 AM 258 Views
you have to be carefull with the dog thing as well random thoughts - 04/08/2010 02:50:01 PM 555 Views
Another friendly but determined vote for "No way" *NM* ironclad - 04/08/2010 08:27:49 AM 329 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 309 Views
It isn't pretentious, that's for sure.... Elaine - 04/08/2010 01:47:19 PM 773 Views
Sounds like something I would do Tigr - 04/08/2010 02:27:09 PM 688 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 311 Views
.a serious one. Palatine - 04/08/2010 05:59:01 PM 744 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 723 Views
Using it as a pet name but not legal name is a great idea. Avendesora - 04/08/2010 07:34:08 PM 692 Views
I am filled with these. *NM* Francie - 04/08/2010 07:40:43 PM 304 Views
Just a thought.. Francie - 10/08/2010 07:50:31 PM 607 Views
