Help[Opinions] Byron and Snow
What do you think of Byron on a boy? At first I thought it was a bit stuffy but the more I think about it the more I like it.
Also, what do you think of Snow on a girl? I would probably only consider it as a middle name but I do quite like the image it creates.

They would look cute as names for twins, although together they sound like names out of a fairy tale...but I must admit I like that kind of thing.

I like Snow as a middle name for a girl. I've considered it before and got some good ideas (here's the old thread: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/baby/3419638)

I knew an unpleasant woman once who intended to name her future son Byron Hilton Lastname. Luckily, she only had daughters.
I really like Brian, so Byron always looks like a spelling error. And though I hugely enjoy the poet, it's still a ln to me (and to him, of course).
Snow? Better than Drizzle or Hail, but not good enough. And, unfortunately, it's a ln as well as a dictionary word, so the poor little monosyllable is loaded with a double whammy.

Byron is fine as a name. I think my grandma had a cousin or uncle named Byron.
Snow- for a white pet only. I know it's a last name and could follow that trend, but no. Maybe Chrissy (Christmas) Snow from Three's Company influenced that. I can't take it seriously for a human's first (or maybe even middle) name.

I think Byron is fine. Doesn't seem stuffy like, say, Percy. Sounds heroic and masculine, and complex thanks to the poet. I think that if I had to call someone Byron frequently, though, I'd find it sounded like Brian-mixed-up. That might bug me, or it might not. I am not too into B sounds in names, though. I prefer Myron, which I think people perceive as really stuffy, but I don't.
Snow is terrible as a first name. It Snow good at all. ;-) Okay as a middle name, but doesn't seem very deep. Hm, I didn't even intend that pun... Anyway I'd rather use Eira or Rain, than Snow, any day. Woops, another pun. Sorry. It's just not abstract enough for me to think it's namey, there's no symbolism, just ... bad weather, and the sound of NO.
