White Snow And Icy Names

Often used in reference to the Himalayas.

A snowy epithet of the goddess Pavarti.

A short form of the modern coinage Icelyn that feels cool as a short form, but too frosty for a full name.

Now that Tristan has been rediscovered, maybe it's time for his fabled lover in the Arthurian romances and Wagnerian opera, a beautiful Irish princess, to be brought back into the light as well.

Extremely attractive color name chosen by some African-American families for its reference to the West African Ivory Coast; more commonly used for girls.

Ivory was last popular a hundred years ago. In 2013, it finally began to regain some momentum in the female rankings, reentering the Top 1000.

Highly unusual; could be confused with the Isuzu automotive brand.

Visually similar to Jack and Jacob, but with a refreshing Nordic origin and literally ice-cool meaning.

Cooler than the older month names like April and May, and a highly unusual and eye-catching choice. The most famous real-life January is female – January Jones – but the month is named for the Roman god Janus, who presided over doors and new beginnings.

Thanks to two cultural influences, January has joined March, April, June and August as a plausible month name.

This Celtic saint's name is the most offbeat Jen name of all.

Jenna was first noted on the 1980s TV series Dallas, later associated with one of the First Twin Daughters. Jenna is still being used, but no longer feels much fresher than Jennifer. You can also spell it Jena, but then many people will pronounce it jeen-a, as in Gina.

Jennifer is the Cornish variation of Guinevere, which ultimately derived from the Welsh name Gwenhwyfar. It has been in use in the English-speaking world since the 18th century but came to prominence in the 20th. Playwright George Bernard Shaw chose Jennifer for the name of his leading lady in his play The Doctor’s Dilemma, which drew more attention to the name.

This cool Icelandic word name — meaning "ice" — is on the rise in its native Iceland. Jökull is also used in geographical names; Eyjafjallajökull is an ice cap in Iceland.
