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

Can't believe someone suggested Frostie Grin

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.

Blanche is fabulous. Do it.

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.

The spanish for white is Blanco/a

Alba means dawn doesn't it?

george49 · 01/03/2018 14:05

Yes. Dawn/Sunrise

george49 · 01/03/2018 14:06

Maybe people are getting alba confused with albero?

MrsElvis · 01/03/2018 14:15

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

MacavityTheDentistsCat · 01/03/2018 14:17

alba means white in Latin.

MacavityTheDentistsCat · 01/03/2018 14:22

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 ....

ProperLavs · 01/03/2018 14:30

yes latin, not spanish though ;)

Bumbl · 01/03/2018 14:45

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

snowplop · 01/03/2018 14:45

I taught a 'Winta' once.

BurningBright · 01/03/2018 14:48

Eirlys.

Welsh for snowdrop.

andhardlyanywomenatall · 01/03/2018 15:02

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

andhardlyanywomenatall · 01/03/2018 15:04

op, user says it's fine because people with non-cow names get teased too. And user never got teased.

only you can decide....

andhardlyanywomenatall · 01/03/2018 15:05

oh sod! wrong thread!!

CorianderSnell · 01/03/2018 15:32

Chione

Wikipedia tells me it’s from the Greek for snow, and she was the daughter of the God of the North Wind

Not sure about pronunciation - like Fiona with a K perhaps?

winglesspegasus · 01/03/2018 15:32

aspen is a tree

lindali94 · 01/03/2018 15:34
