Alaska for a girl?


We love the name Alaska. What are your thoughts on this? Another thing to consider is our last name happens to be Ice. We liked the name regardless but is that too much with Ice? Also looking for a good middle name to go with Alaska.

    I wouldn't do it, especially given your last name.

    I think it's a pretty bad name but it pushes it to laughable with LN Ice doesn't work for a human IRL

    I actually like the name Alaska - but definitely not with Ice as a last name... Sorry...

    please dont

    I think you'd be setting her up for a bit of a hard road. Alaska Ice is a tough name to sell. 
  • Options
    Have you ever been to Alaska? I feel like this is weird if you haven't.

    Definitely not with LN Ice.

    Alaska Ice sounds like a joke.

    While Alaska is not my style (any location really), I can acknowledge it's a nice name. I would never pair it with Ice though. Unfortunately it makes the name sound made up, like a character, and/or a stage name. I'm sorry the name you love is sabotaged by your last name...but you should really choose something else, for her own good!

    Agree it's too much with Ice. Maybe Alexa?

    Listen. 

    My parents thought they were funny. Had I been born a boy, my name would have been Sterling Silver (because, like you, i have an easily trollable last name) 

    I can't say for sure how i would have felt about it but I can say with a fair bit of confidence, the feeling would have been somewhere on the "not good" spectrum.

    A bit too much IMO.

    Just in case you are serious, it's an awful name. Don't.
  • Options
    I don't even like the name Alaska without the last name ice. All I can think of if the Simpson's parody of Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana) - Alaska Nebraska.

    I don't love Alaska on its own, but I've seen much worse. Alaska Ice sounds like a cheap beer (or, as others have mentioned, a bad sex industry pseudonym).
