forum Help naming swords

I have a character who is a dual wielder, and she has two semi-magical swords that are snow/winter themed. Any ideas for names? Snowstorm and Icepick are all I can think of that sound kind of cool, but I feel like they don't fit.

Icicle and frost?

Frostblade, Snowsteel, Chillbrand, Frostbite, Snowshard, Chillbane…

bīng rèn beens ice sword in Mandarin, hán shuāng roughly translate to cold frost.
Also:
Arctic, Snowblade

Oh man, I love weapons with names. I suppose it depends on what languages you have in your world, but kōri and yuki are Japanese for ice and snow, which is cool but mightn't be harsh enough for sword names. If you're looking for something in English (and something a bit more epic-semi-magical-sword-worthy), maybe snowsting and frostbite?

fubuki Japanese for snowstorm

Impexis, which is Latin for icicle
Glacies, Latin for ice
Frigus, Latin for cold

Blizzard? Iceshear? Bitter? Hailstorm?

Also, consider making one of the swords a dagger. Generally, dual wielders use either 2 daggers or a dagger and a sword. A dagger is used to block the opponent's weapon while another dagger or sword is used to attack. Double swords are rarely used, as they are often impractical.
