Dashing Through the Snow: Snowy Baby Names

In case you're wondering, I do find it odd that this isn't the first time I've written about the song Jingle Bells. I promise, I'm not obsessed. It's just that Jingle Bells is so universal and apparently inspiring as a prime example of winter fun. Also, I have a toddler.

This is the first in what will be a four-part series of names inspired by the opening lyrics of Jingle Bells. We begin with Dashing Through the Snow, a list of lovely names related to our favorite thing about this time of year—I mean, if it's going to be cold, we'd prefer a white blanket of falling snow to decorate our landscape. Here are names perfect for your little snow baby.
