I love the name [name_u]Winter[/name_u], but my top name for a girl is [name_u]November[/name_u], so I wouldn’t want a sibset of [name_u]November[/name_u] and [name_u]Winter[/name_u]. I looked up the meaning behind the band name Bon [name_m]Iver[/name_m], and found out that Bon Hiver is french for “Good [name_u]Winter[/name_u]”. I’m thinking of using Hiver (pronounced ee-VARE) as a name for a girl. 1) how would you spell it, obviously you can’t spell it Hiver 2) do you think it would be easily mispronounced ? (I’m expecting it to be misspelled ) my favorite spelling is Evaire. Need mn suggestions too.
Evaire does seem like the best way to spell it.
Evaire [name_f]Faye[/name_f] (winter fairy) would be really cute.
Evaire [name_f]Maxine[/name_f]
Evaire [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
Evaire [name_u]Harper[/name_u]
Evaire [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
Evaire [name_u]Patrice[/name_u]
When I just look at Evaire my brain says “[name_u]Ever[/name_u]”. But, it’s not hard to correct a mispronunciation if that’s the name you love. I like the nn potential of [name_f]Evie[/name_f] too 
Another option might be the combo [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]. I love this combo, personally. It brings similar letters to [name_m]Iver[/name_m] and with the mn [name_u]Winter[/name_u] also the meaning you love.
One of my favorite girl names is [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] which means good, so the combo [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] would literally mean “Good [name_u]Winter[/name_u]” as well. [name_m]Just[/name_m] some thoughts
Is there a particular reason you can’t spell it Hiver? This might be a language barrier thing (English is not my first language), but I don’t really see the problem.
That said, [name_m]Iver[/name_m] on its own is a really sweet Nordic boys name, meaning yew tree, and it’s also the Norwegian word for ‘eagerness’. If you like it for a girl, I’d say go for it
A feminine variant is Iverine which is so adorable! I know another user (@saracita00) considered it for her last pregnancy I think.
Thanks, all! If I spelled it Hiver, I don’t think anyone would know how to say it. They would say it, hye-ver. That is what it looks like to me, too. [name_m]Iver[/name_m] people would pronounce like [name_m]Allen[/name_m] [name_m]Iverson[/name_m]'s last name. At least in [name_u]America[/name_u]. Evaire is my favorite spelling, especially since I also love the name [name_u]Adair[/name_u]. Iverine reminds me of Ovarian
