HelpRe: Christmas
in reply to a message by queenv
I wouldn't use it myself especiall with a name like Snow or White. It's like Christmas carols in July.
Nollaig is not unusual here though. It's the Irish for Noel/Noelle and also the Irish for Christmas. I have a distant cousin called Mary Nollaig who's birthday is around now. I was also in college with a girl called Nollaig Rabbitt - and yes she got teased a lot about it.

I met an girl in Eastern Ireland (Dublin) once named Nollaig, pronounced, "NULL-ig."
My mother is from Southern (Co. Cork) Ireland and that's how she says it too.
Sometimes the same word in Irish can be spoken differently, depending on where you're from. This seems to be one that doesn't change much.
