[Opinions] Snow
What do you think of Snow as a name? Boy, or girl? Any middle name ideas? **Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam/Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine, and a side order of ham**

I really like it. I know it may seem a little cutesy, but I liked hearing it used on the character of Snow White from Once Upon A Time, and I don't find it any different from using River or Sky. I did briefly think of President Snow from the Hunger Games, but it wasn't my first thought and I don't think the series made that big of an impact on the word as a name to tarnish it.I do imagine and prefer it as a girl name, but I find it unisex over-all.Snow Louisa

It would be a nice name for those Chanceys that were being asked about below!

It think it's charming. I could see it for either gender.

I think it could be cute as a middle name, but its a bit silly as a first name. I think Snowdrop could be a cute nickname. Madeleine Snow

A friend of mine was going to name a son Snoww (yes, with a double w) if she'd had a baby with a previous boyfriend. They's agreed on it but they didn't have a child together and later broke up. However, she did have a son with a different boyfrined and named him Raphael. So I think of Snow as a boys' name because of her. It would kind of make a cute nickname for either gender but it's a bit odd as a first name.

I should hate this name, because I come from a land where snow is seriously evil, but I kinda like it. Same with Ice - I like the sound, the association, the look of the word. They are a little abrupt, I guess. I really don't like the idea of "Snowy" as a nickname though "Icy" is ok but "Snowy" just rubs me the wrong way. So maybe as a middle name? I see it as more feminine for some reason. Maybe because the image of softly falling snow is kind of romantic/poetic. I also like words with snow in them. Snowdrift, Snowfall, Snowflake, eh, that's less nice, Snowbelle? Snowbird is pretty, yes, but it's not really useable in Canada. Combos just for fun:Snow Guinevere

No thanks. It would sound a lot better on a girl, but even worse than Winter. Just choose a name that means snow, like Eira or Neve.

I’m going for girl, but I’m honestly not a fan. I did know a girl who went by Snow (her legal name was an ethnic name that meant “snow”). I also had a friend with the last name White, whose sister had the middle name of Snow (so her full name was something like Jennifer Snow White).

I have a hard time not thinking of the evil guy in Hunger Games.
Before I saw/read that, I heard it as a FN in the show Once Upon a Time and thought it was awkward.Snowblowers, snow cones, snow job, etc...it doesn't sound very namey to me.Snowbird would seem nicer to me, I guess similar to how I don't like Meadow as a name but do like Meadowlark.

I agree, Snowbird is nicer.

Snowbird is quite pretty. It's too bad that in Canada it means "a senior citizen that spends half the year in the United States"

People say it in the US, too, for people who migrate south for winter.

As a fn it's not very good. It sounds like a street name someone would be given, because they like cocaine or something.
