Yes: _nique_ "snow", _ninque_ (gen. _ninquio_)"white".
Since there is an etnhnonym _teles_, pl. _teleri_ I guess you could call
yourself _Niqueteles_! (Actually Greek Nikolaos => Lietur in Q. Don't
know what a tailor is called, but a female embroideress is _Serinde_ (<
Þerinde), so possibly you are a Serindo. You will have to ask someone else
for valid Sindarin forms I'm afraid...
