A snowman only lasts a few days, so it deserves a good name while it's here. This snowman name generator has snowy puns like Snowcrates and Brrrnard, grand titles like Lord Frostbottom, and cute names like Marshmallow, with a description of its look if you want one.
A short history of the snowman
People have been building snowmen for at least 600 years.
- The oldest picture of a snowman is in the margin of a book of hours from around 1380, now in the Dutch national library in The Hague.
- The Miracle of 1511: during a bitterly cold winter in Brussels, people filled the city with snowmen, many of them rude jokes about the politics of the day.
- The usual look (coal for eyes and buttons, a carrot nose, twig arms) is just what was to hand in a garden or a coal shed.
Naming your snowman
The best snowman names are puns, and the worse the pun, the better.
- Puns: Snowcrates, Brrrnard, Snowtorious.
- Grand titles: Lord Frostbottom, for the snowman that took all afternoon.
- Cute names: Marshmallow, Sprinkle, Twinkle, for the little ones.
- Add a look to describe it on a card or a photo caption: "with a paper crown from a cracker".
