More Names
What possessed James W. and Bettie Frost to name their 5th child, 4th son, Snow?
Snow Frost?
Maybe it was to take the “heat” off one of his brothers who was named Bird.

At least they didn’t name a daughter Hoar. I’m not even sure what a hoar frost is, but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t want it for a name. If they wanted to be funny, Jack would’ve been fine and not nearly as cacophonous.
