Name for the little Snowdrop!

[MrsJonSnow]

Regular here with a name change as I'm mentioning my real surname.

So we're having another little northern bastard (GOT reference ) and we've just discovered she'll be a little girl! We had boys names all sewn up but we're floundering a bit with girl's names.

So we need something that goes with the surname Snow (no place names to avoid sounding like a weather report and anything that sounds yellow should be avoided. Summer is also out.)

We prefer classic names and names that aren't too flowery. I'm not big on most of the granny names that are so popular at the moment either. Something that can be taken seriously if she wants to become a surgeon or judge but not too harsh or heavy.

Names currently in consideration are:
Rachel
Elizabeth
Felicity
Harriet
I also love Charlotte, but am concerned that Charlie Snow sounds like Cocaine Cocaine. Could I avoid this by going for Lottie as a nn right from the start or is it just asking for trouble?

Suggestions and comments requested please!

Snow is a great surname to have - goes beautifully with most of your choices.

Elizabeth Snow is stunning - was just going to say it sounds like a lady novelist, and saw previous comments about literary heroines. It definitely has an elegant, bookish quality to it.

Not usually a huge fan of Harriet, but it does go beautifully with snow. Also liked the suggestions of Miranda and Tabitha.

Think you're spoilt for choice really!

Maria
Natasha
Arabella
Eloise

Miranda Snow is good... though Miranda Frost is a Bond girl in case that bothers you (a rather elegant one mind you)

Alex Snow kind of runs into each other. I'd avoid names (or ones with obvious nicknames) which end in a S or X sound.

Other names you might like

Annabel
Annelise
Rosalind
Lucy
Emily
Juliet
Bethany
Bryony

I agree Elizabeth Snow sounds like a book character but I really like that. Could be a character in Jane Austen or maybe a mystery....Detective Elizabeth Snow has a good ring to it. Anyway, I think it sounds professional but fun, if that makes sense.

Martha Snow
Louisa Snow

I knew a Charlotte Snow who was v partial to the powdered stuff and was therefore very proud to call herself 'Charlie Snow'. Tbf she was only about 20

I love Elizabeth Snow - very glacial. And Harriet Snow is lovely too as the surname softens the harshness of the first.

I really wouldn't pick Margot or any other first name that rhymes with Snow as it's too much of a mouthful. Likewise I wouldn't choose a name that ends in 's' as it might sound a bit 'ssss-y'

I'd go for Rachel, lovely and out of fashion and it goes well with Snow

Molly Snow
Ruby Snow
Olivia Snow
Emily Snow
Esme Snow
Katherine Snow
Lucy Snow
Tabitha Snow
Mathilde Snow

I waaaaaaaaaant another baby.

Josie Snow is nice

What about a colour? I see colorful blizzards ...

Wow - thanks ladies! Some fabulous suggestions here!

lisucbgiberiocnha There is already a Scarlett in the family - reminds me of a skiing accident!

Of other suggestions I love Olivia and Rosalind, but Dh isn't keen. Dh loves Emmeline, but I don't (well I do but we have a big Australian contingent in the family and I hate the way it sounds with an aussie accent.)

Martha, Molly and, to a lesser extent, Ruby are all a bit too nanna-ish for me. I just think they will be very last-year very quickly.

Love Poppy but only as a nn - what could it be short for?

Prefer Lucinda to Lucy, but worried she might end up being called Cindi?

Diana is a name that should be used more, but when you think about it on a baby you kind of realise why it isn't. It's somehow a very BIG name for a little girl.

Phoebe
Cosima
Clara
Louisa
Sophie
Alice

What a great surname-Snow. I'm jealous. My maiden and married surnames are bleurgh.

I was going to suggest Alice if no one else has...

Ygritte.

Obviously!

What about Penelope nn Penny?

Phillippa nn Poppy

Amelie Snow?

Alina Snow?

Meredith Snow?

Martha Snow?

Eloise Smow?

Elizabeth Snow is just perfect.

Margaret Snow is good too. But Elizabeth has the edge. Very slightly.

Lucy like Lucy Snow(e).

Though the four syllables of Elizabeth work really well. It is a perfect name.

What about Eirlys? It means snowdrop!

No. No. It has to be Harriet! Harriet is often just a name, and for some reason it really sits well with Snow, and makes them both come into their own.
There is already a Scarlett in the family - reminds me of a skiing accident! Yes, all very poetic as an image from a Margaret Atwood novel, but...
Elizabeth Snow sounds great, but all I can picture is Miss Elizabeth Swann with her tallness billowing about the Caribbean on a ship. You may as well then plump for Keira. And Keira Snow sounds like a meteorological measurement.

Harriet nn Hattie

Meredith Snow

Just bear in mind you might pick one nn for your dd but other people might pick another one

Elizabeth Snow is lovely. I also like
Emily
Felicity
Valentina

Emma Snow is cool, too. Or Caroline Snow.
