This baby is due [name]December[/name] 19 and I keep looking at [name]Christmas[/name]/[name]Winter[/name]/[name]Light[/name] names - too much or make sense? We are viewing this person as gift from God, no doubt, so may be appropriate for us? Looking for suggestions and feedback!
[name]Holiday[/name] (nn [name]Daisy[/name] or [name]Liddie[/name])
[name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Lucinda[/name]
[name]Epiphany[/name] (nn [name]Pip[/name] or [name]Pippa[/name])
I will have a Dec baby too! (edd 18 to 23 depending on u/s in 2 weeks) I decided that I did not want a theme based on [name]Christmas[/name], but something loosely related would be cute! I would skip [name]Holiday[/name] and [name]Emmanuel[/name], but I do like [name]Ivy[/name].
I really like [name]Ivy[/name], [name]Lucinda[/name], [name]Felix[/name] and [name]North[/name]!
I think [name]Christmas[/name]/seasonal names are fine. I also really like [name]Holly[/name] and [name]Winter[/name].
[name]How[/name] about [name]Natalia[/name], [name]Angelica[/name], [name]Angel[/name], [name]Bianca[/name], [name]Clara[/name] and [name]Nicholas[/name].
I don’t think it’s “too much”, especially if your baby is born quite close to [name]Christmas[/name]. I always assume girls named “[name]Noelle[/name]” are [name]Christmas[/name] babies. Of your list my favorites are [name]Ivy[/name] ([name]Holly[/name] is another great one), [name]Emmanuel[/name], and [name]Abner[/name]. I would say include some [name]Christmas[/name]-related names on your “short list” as well as some non-Christmasy favorites, so you have more variety as you are narrowing down. Some more suggestions:
[name]Reuben[/name] “Behold, a son”
[name]Theodore[/name], [name]Matthias[/name] “gift from God”
[name]Ori[/name] “my light”
[name]Jesse[/name] “gift”
[name]Simeon[/name] (presented [name]Jesus[/name] in the temple)
[name]Gabriel[/name]
[name]Clara[/name] “bright, clear” (and Nutcracker heroine!)
[name]Anna[/name] (prophetess in the temple where [name]Jesus[/name] was presented)
Maranatha “Come, [name]Lord[/name] [name]Jesus[/name]”
[name]Joy[/name]
[name]Natalie[/name] (related to nativity)
[name]Carol[/name] (one of my favorite [name]Christmas[/name] baby names, so joyful and musical and bright)
