Avalanche
This is a GP of mine. I like the sound of it! I would only use it as a MN.
What do you think of it? And how does Nicole Anna Avalanche sounds?

LolIt's a GP of mine too, but I would never ever name a real child like this (though Tempest for me is fine). It goes on my "great for a character" list. I totally see a whimsical, drama queen girl called Avalanche. Between Scarlett O'Hara and Amber from Clueless.In the same category, Tsunami would make a cute little boy... :)

I don't like Nicole Anna Avalanche because of the double A's; just Nicole Avalanche would sound better.
I don't like Avalanche as a name, but in all honesty I'd rather be named after a natural disaster than have a sissy word name like Patience, Faith, Obedience, etc.

Agreed on natural disaster names over religious namesThe name is silly, but I would resent being named for religious virtues even more, as if expected to live up to them!Patience: "come on you @#$%^*)*:{!^, come on!"
Obedience: she'll defy anybody
Chastity/ Purity: an easy woman in the making
Mercy: too obvious; she'll be anything but merciful

...I'm just glad that it's not the first name, but it sounds like a porn star's rendition of Anna Nicole Smith.And the whole "avalanche" just seems like some parent's lack of motivation in opening a baby name book; "Oh, let's just pick a random nature word and be done with it. That's all the rage now."And seeing just how destructive and violent that avalanches are, you could be inviting your daughter to be rough and aggressive.

Aside from its horrible connotations, it's a bit trashy to me. Nicole Anna Avalanche sounds like one of those faux cowboy names.

It seems a bit violent to me. I don't much like it for the same reason I don't like Winter and Frost and Chaos and Shadow. They have a dark feeling to them.

Oh, lord. Since avalanches are known for destroying things and killing people, I would steer clear of this one.Nicole Anna Avalanche sounds odd.

I don't really like it because avalanches are destructive and can hurt/kill people. But it's a little nice as a GP.

It seems just weird to me. Avalanches are quite catastrophic most of times! I'm having a hard time with it even as a second mn.
