Re: Byron and Snow
in reply to a message by Shiply
I think Byron is fine. Doesn't seem stuffy like, say, Percy. Sounds heroic and masculine, and complex thanks to the poet. I think that if I had to call someone Byron frequently, though, I'd find it sounded like Brian-mixed-up. That might bug me, or it might not. I am not too into B sounds in names, though. I prefer Myron, which I think people perceive as really stuffy, but I don't.
Snow is terrible as a first name. It Snow good at all. ;-) Okay as a middle name, but doesn't seem very deep. Hm, I didn't even intend that pun... Anyway I'd rather use Eira or Rain, than Snow, any day. Woops, another pun. Sorry. It's just not abstract enough for me to think it's namey, there's no symbolism, just ... bad weather, and the sound of NO.
