Ok…so we have been getting closer and closer to picking a name. So far, we have:
[name]Rowan[/name] [name]Renee[/name] [name]Snow[/name] ([name]Snow[/name] is our last name - and [name]Renee[/name] is a family name)
[name]Isabella[/name] [name]Renee[/name] [name]Snow[/name] (not my first choice but the hubs likes it - also, her initials would be IRS - hmmm…)
OR
[name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Renee[/name] [name]Snow[/name] ([name]Elli[/name])
I also like [name]Willow[/name] [name]Renee[/name] but the hubs does not…
I dislike [name]Rowan[/name] on a girl, love it on a boy and I think it looks a bit odd next to you other options which are much more feminine. I like [name]Isabella[/name] as long as [name]Bella[/name] is used as the nickname and not [name]Izzy[/name], if not then I prefer [name]Isobel[/name]. For that reason my favourite is [name]Eleanor[/name].
Hmm…
[name]Rowan[/name] [name]Renee[/name] [name]Snow[/name] - I dislike the flow of [name]Rowan[/name] [name]Renee[/name] the two visually short, ‘r’ names that feel almost similar in sound, just don’t sit right together. Maybe if it was the feminine first name followed by [name]Rowan[/name] it would sound better but unfortunately this isn’t the case. So I dislike this choice.
[name]Isabella[/name] [name]Renee[/name] [name]Snow[/name] - Yes [name]Isabella[/name] is popular, and teamed with [name]Renee[/name] she may feel like a stereotypical choice. But [name]Isabella[/name] [name]Renee[/name] [name]Snow[/name] is a gorgeous combination. [name]Isabella[/name] is a very pretty name, elegant and has a gorgeous sensual sound. I also love how the name sounds with [name]Renee[/name]. This is a pretty combination. BUT she maybe too popular.
[name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Renee[/name] [name]Snow[/name] - [name]Eleanor[/name] is a gorgeous choice that is well known classic but isn’t incredibly popular like [name]Isabella[/name]. [name]Eleanor[/name] is simply a dignified classic choice. [name]Renee[/name] sounds very sweet with [name]Isabella[/name] and works so well with [name]Snow[/name]. I also think [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Snow[/name] as first and surname combination is very sweet. [name]Love[/name] this choice!!
[name]Willow[/name] [name]Renee[/name] [name]Snow[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Willow[/name] a very pretty, nature name that feels really hippy and cool. Yet I dislike [name]Willow[/name] with [name]Snow[/name] too many nature names that seem to conjure up different images thus clashing.
I dislike [name]Isabella[/name] simply because it is such a popular name, and has been for a few years now. I work with children and I’ve known soooo many, or similar variations of; [name]Izzy[/name], [name]Bella[/name], [name]Belle[/name], [name]Isabelle[/name], etc. Plus, with the mn being [name]Renee[/name], it sounds like you’re a diehard ‘Twilight’ fan- [name]Isabella[/name] Swan and her daughter, Renesmae. (Sorry if I butchered the spelling!)
I love [name]Rowan[/name]; however, without the middle name to separate from your last name, I’m not sure [name]Rowan[/name] [name]Snow[/name] flows very well. I think it has something to do with both names containing the letters n, o, and w. I hope that makes sense.
I love [name]Eleanor[/name] (full disclosure, we are considering it for our own daughter), but to be honest, you have such a lovely last name, I think you could find a better first name to make it really pop. I’ve always been envious of people with last names like yours, you should take advantage of your gift. [name]Hope[/name] this helps a little!
If I had to choose from your list I like [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Renee[/name] as the best combo.
I love [name]Isabella[/name] as a first with your last name [name]Snow[/name]. But not liking [name]Renee[/name] as a middle for it.
And [name]Rowan[/name] I am not loving.
Since it is a family name I am guessing [name]Renee[/name] is set in stone so other options are:
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Renee[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
[name]Amelia[/name] [name]Renee[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
[name]Lucienne[/name] [name]Renee[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
Instead of [name]Willow[/name] what about [name]Willa[/name] [name]Renee[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
Also
Since [name]Renee[/name] is a French/Latin what about
[name]Marguerite[/name] [name]Renee[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
[name]Anaelle[/name] [name]Renee[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name] [name]Renee[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
[name]Isabella[/name] might be uber-popular, but in my eyes it indubitably goes best with [name]Renee[/name] [name]Snow[/name] (what a lovely last name!).
[name]Eleanor[/name] would be my second pick. And I love the name [name]Rowan[/name] but somehow it does not flow or match with [name]Renee[/name]. [name]Do[/name] you think [name]Rowena[/name] would work better if you’re going for that kind of alliterative sound?
Although I like the name [name]Rowan[/name], I don’t think it sounds great with your last name-- too much ow! And while [name]Isabella[/name] [name]Renee[/name] is lovely, [name]Eleanor[/name] is less used so I’d probably have that in my first place.
Some other possibilties that are similar to the names you like and work with [name]Renee[/name] and [name]Snow[/name]:
I agree with others about not liking [name]Rowan[/name] for a girl. I [name]LOVE[/name] the suggestion [name]Willa[/name] [name]Renee[/name] [name]Snow[/name]!
While I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Rowan[/name], I’m not sure it sounds great for your last name (I hear [name]ROWan[/name] [name]SNOW[/name]…the Row and the [name]Snow[/name] rhyme). Same problem with [name]Willow[/name], really. And although [name]Isabella[/name] is very pretty, it’s also very popular.
My favorite is [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Renee[/name] [name]Snow[/name].
[name]Rowan[/name] [name]Renee[/name] is lovely, but [name]Rowan[/name] [name]Snow[/name] is not. Too many long O sounds, and I feel compelled to say “[name]Rowan[/name] Snowan”.
[name]Isabella[/name] [name]Renee[/name] [name]Snow[/name] makes me think Twilight. [name]Isabella[/name] Swan is not that far off from [name]Isabella[/name] [name]Snow[/name], and [name]Renee[/name] was her mom’s name in the book. So that makes it a huge no for me.
