IIRC her name is Princess Snow White (no last name) because the Queen wished for a daughter with skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as dark as ebony.

The way I remember it, Snow White's mother pricked her finger while she was doing some embroidery, and when she saw the red blood on the snowy white linen (with black embroidery thread? I'm not sure) she knew she'd have a child with skin as white as snow and lips as red as blood (and hair as black as night? I have a mental block about the hair or something). Or maybe wished for it. And I often get the stories of Snow White and Snow White and Rose Red confused, so I could be doing that now.

I think the embroidery hoop was black. I dunno. I'm not sure where that's coming from.

From wikipedia:

Once upon a time as a queen sits sewing at her window, she pricks her finger on her needle and three drops of blood fall on the snow that had fallen on her ebony window frame. As she looks at the blood on the snow, she says to herself, "Oh, how I wish that I had a daughter that had skin white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair black as ebony". Soon after that, the queen gives birth to a baby girl who has skin white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair black as ebony. They name her Princess Snow White. As soon as the child is born, the queen dies.

Damn hippies.

Though I must note (because it took me a really long time to find the right page on the Grimm's in my ereader, so I want to impart a little info so as to not feel my effort was wasted - you understand) that though it agrees with the origin of the name, it gives the Princess' name as "Snowdrop".

A&E has a prequel website for it's upcoming miniseries Bag of Bones.
