Any ideas for a baby girl born in this snow/cold?

the fact that it is snowing is no excuse for calling your child Snjokorn

BurningBright · 01/03/2018 14:48

Eirlys.

Welsh for snowdrop.

I taught a 'Winta' once.

Alba does mean white in Spanish, as well as dawn. It’s the first definition on the Real Academia Española dictionary .

ProperLavs · 01/03/2018 14:30

yes latin, not spanish though ;)

I had actually always assumed that this is why Dumbledore is called Albus. Sort of to mark him out as being on the 'good' side ....

MacavityTheDentistsCat · 01/03/2018 14:17

alba means white in Latin.

MrsElvis · 01/03/2018 14:15

Someone I know had an elf on the shelf called Snowbell......

george49 · 01/03/2018 14:06

Maybe people are getting alba confused with albero?

george49 · 01/03/2018 14:05

Yes. Dawn/Sunrise

ProperLavs · 01/03/2018 14:01

Alba means dawn doesn't it?

daffodildelight · 01/03/2018 13:42

Winter

Eira. Simply the loveliest snow name.

george49 · 01/03/2018 13:29

The spanish for white is Blanco/a

PS Crystal always makes me think of either Cristal champagne or else even worse the drug.
So I would not choose it even if it were not very chavvy and I were not an immense snob.

TournesoletLavande · 01/03/2018 13:22

Blanche is fabulous. Do it.

drspouse · 01/03/2018 13:21

Neve
Pronounced Neeve like Irish Niamh it doesn't mean "snow".
And everyone will pronounce it like that unless you live in Portugal or Italy.

Can't believe someone suggested Frostie Grin

George49 - straight from the SPANISH mother's mouth.

So I'll believe her rather than you, thanks very much.

george49 · 01/03/2018 13:06

Alba does not mean white in Spanish.

I find it hilarious how these "facts" catch on on MN

My suggestion is Christabel

lovelyjubilly · 01/03/2018 12:38

Emma!

Namechange16 · 01/03/2018 12:38

alba doesn't mean white, it means sunrise.

Trooperslane2 · 01/03/2018 12:35

Alba

I know a wee one outs self and it works so well because she's Scottish/Spanish

Alba = Scotland
Alba = White in Spanish

DarthNigel · 01/03/2018 12:34

Eira...lovely, I've never heard that before...Im stealing it for my imaginary third daughter Grin
