Well, since you’re going to have the name the rest of your life, you should make sure that it’s easy to say, easy to spell, and doesn’t make people ask questions. (like “Mankiller” or “Robot” would).
My own personal experience tells me that you should have a name that people can say correctly the first time they see it.
Jennifer Snow. And then tell them you spell it, ‘Sneaux’.
For practicallity, MAKE IT ONE THAT’S EASY TO SPELL!!! You’ll thank me every time you don’t have to spell it out when people ask. Saves time, for one thing. [from personal experience]
Jennifer Stone

Jennifer Park
