@Neuroglyph
As long as he calls it something other than a +1 sword of frost I think you’re ok. It sounds like your player has become really attached to this dragon tooth/frost weapon. If you’re a really kind DM you’ll pit him against some fire creatures or monsters with cold vulnerability in the near future so that this PC feels even more powerful when wielding his new frost weapon.

Your old blog raises a really good point – calling something a +1 thingmagig is really against the role-playing flow. It’s funny you mention the +1 frost sword – I recently had a character in my campaign insist upon taking a white dragon tooth from his first dragon kill and fashion it into the hilt of a new broadsword. When the party later came across a +1 maul of frost, he begged to be allowed to do an Item Transfer Ritual with the maul to his dragontooth sword, and even went so far as to buy the Ritual outright for a comrade to accomplish the task. I am really looking forward to find out what he will start calling the blade after we complete the ritual next session.
