Need a girl's name that sounds good with our last name!

Girl Names

I don’t want my baby girl to sound like a super hero or a hippy so what names go with the last name “[name]Snow[/name]”? Leaning towards [name]Renee[/name] (a family name) as her middle name…
So far [name]Rowan[/name] and [name]Willow[/name] are on the short list but I worry they may sound a little bit too earthy. I am not in to super feminine names - and love the idea of a connection to nature.
Ready? GO!

I’m struggling with this too! My last name is also one syllable… I understand your frustration. Something people have suggested to me is that 3 syllable names sound pretty. Some names that may work:

[name]Avery[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
[name]Briony[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
[name]Daphne[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
[name]Zinnia[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
[name]Dahlia[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
[name]Rosamund[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
[name]Acacia[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
[name]Wilhelmina[/name] [name]Snow[/name]

[name]Seraphina[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
[name]Valentina[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
[name]Persephone[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
[name]Wren[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
[name]Arianwen[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
[name]Blakely[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Snow[/name]

I think the problem with noun names with noun surnames, like [name]Willow[/name] [name]Snow[/name] and [name]Rowan[/name] [name]Snow[/name] is that it sounds like a Yankee Candle or the name of a street. So I think you’re better off avoiding nouns…

[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Edna[/name]
[name]Whitney[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name]
[name]Sylvia[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Victoria[/name]
[name]Vivian[/name]
[name]Willa[/name]
[name]Roxanne[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Madeline[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name]

Ok, let’s see…

  • [name]Aeron[/name], [name]Aeronwen[/name], [name]Aeronwy[/name] ([name]Aeron[/name] is a river in [name]Wales[/name]; [name]Aeronwy[/name] was used by Welsh poet [name]Dylan[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] for his daughter who was conceived at the banks of said river)
  • [name]Branwen[/name] (means beautiful raven)
  • [name]Briallen[/name] (means primrose)
  • [name]Chloe[/name] (means green shoot)
  • [name]Cicely[/name] (Myrrhis Odorata aka Sweet [name]Cicely[/name])
  • [name]Daphne[/name] (means laurel)
  • Eilonwy (might derive from the Welsh word eilon which means dear/stag)
  • Embla (means elm tree, first woman in Norse mythology)
  • [name]Morgan[/name], [name]Morgana[/name] (means sea circle)
  • [name]Olwen[/name] (means white footprint, a beautiful maiden in Welsh mythology who was so gentle white lilies appeared wherever she walked)
  • Rhosyn (rose)
  • [name]Seren[/name] (star)

For what it’s worth, I really love [name]Willow[/name] [name]Snow[/name]! It’s gorgeous, poetic and romantic!

It can be a struggle to find an appropriate first name with a last name like [name]Snow[/name], but I think it is precious! Going with nature names might bring on some teasing opportunities. I’d go with something a little more classic but trendy.

[name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Victoria[/name]
[name]Claudia[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Rosalie[/name]
[name]Sophia[/name]
[name]Madaline[/name]
[name]Julianne[/name]

I snorted when I read that you don’t want her name to sound like a “Yankee candle”!
Awesome - thanks, there are some great suggestions on here - keep them coming!!

8

This is tough! [name]Willow[/name] and [name]Rowan[/name] are nice, but both of them seem odd with snow.
What about [name]Laurel[/name]? Great nature connection but similar enough to mainstream/popular names that it doesn’t seem to be an odd pairing with [name]Snow[/name].

love the name [name]Avery[/name] - thanks!!
And [name]Acacia[/name].

awe…[name]Elodie[/name]. [name]Love[/name] that name!!

[name]Laurel[/name] is a beautiful name - not too girly. :slight_smile:
