Hey everyone! Since it’s [name_u]December[/name_u], I thought it might be fun to make some holiday-inspired combos. I’ll share mine and please reply with any of yours. (: Would you use a [name_f]Holiday[/name_f]-inspired name for a [name_u]December[/name_u] baby?
BOYS:
[name_m]Klaus[/name_m] [name_u]Evergreen[/name_u]
Summary
[name_m]Klaus[/name_m] for [name_f]Santa[/name_f] [name_m]Claus[/name_m], [name_u]Evergreen[/name_u] for [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] trees
[name_m]Caspar[/name_m] [name_u]Snow[/name_u]
Summary
[name_m]Caspar[/name_m] was the name of one of the wizards who visited baby [name_m]Jesus[/name_m]. [name_u]Snow[/name_u] is obvious!
[name_m]Clement[/name_m] [name_u]North[/name_u]
Summary
[name_m]Clement[/name_m] is a bit of a stretch, but it’s the name of the author of ‘‘A visit from St. [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]’’, the poem that begins with ‘‘Twas the night before [name_u]Christmas[/name_u]’’. I believe he was the one who gave [name_f]Santa[/name_f]'s reindeer their names, but I could be wrong. [name_u]North[/name_u] is for the [name_u]North[/name_u] Pole!
[name_m]Odin[/name_m] [name_u]Cypress[/name_u]
Summary
Two reasons behind [name_m]Odin[/name_m]! 1) He was potentially a major figure celebrated in Yuletide 2) Modern [name_f]Santa[/name_f] [name_m]Claus[/name_m] was based off one of his myths. [name_u]Cypress[/name_u] is for the trees, that are often used as [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] trees
[name_m]Judah[/name_m] [name_u]Pine[/name_u]
Summary
[name_m]Judah[/name_m] after the story of Hanukkah, [name_u]Pine[/name_u] for pine trees!
[name_m]Rudolf[/name_m] [name_m]Cain[/name_m]
Summary
[name_m]Rudolf[/name_m] for the reindeer, [name_m]Cain[/name_m] for candy canes
[name_u]Noel[/name_u] [name_u]Drummer[/name_u]
Summary
[name_u]Noel[/name_u] means [name_u]Christmas[/name_u], and I picked [name_u]Drummer[/name_u] for the little drummer boy!
[name_m]Eben[/name_m] [name_f]Carol[/name_f]
Summary
[name_m]Eben[/name_m] after [name_m]Ebenezer[/name_m] Scrouge and [name_f]Carol[/name_f] for [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] carols
[name_u]Yuki[/name_u] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]
Summary
[name_u]Yuki[/name_u] means snow, and [name_u]Winter[/name_u] is obvious
GIRLS
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_u]Frost[/name_u]
Summary
[name_u]Christmas[/name_u] carols and [name_u]Frost[/name_u] because… winter is cold?
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_u]December[/name_u]
Summary
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] is after the girl from the Nutcracker
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Rejoice[/name_f]
Summary
[name_u]Christmas[/name_u] eve! [name_f]Rejoice[/name_f] is a word I see used a lot in religious settings regarding [name_u]Christmas[/name_u]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Holiday[/name_f]
Summary
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] for [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], father of [name_m]Jesus[/name_m]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Snowdrop[/name_f]
Summary
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] for [name_m]Jesus[/name_m]’ mother, and also the word [name_f]Merry[/name_f]! [name_f]Snowdrop[/name_f] because it has snow in it. Not my best one but it’s a pretty combo.
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
Summary
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] isn’t exactly a holiday/wintery name, but it sounds very winter-like to me and it has the word angel in it, which is quite Christmassy
[name_f]Lumi[/name_f] Sugarplum
Summary
[name_f]Lumi[/name_f] means snow, Sugarplum after the Dance of the [name_f]Sugar[/name_f] [name_f]Plum[/name_f] [name_f]Fairy[/name_f] in The Nutcracker
[name_f]Eira[/name_f] Mistletoe
Summary
Okay, Mistletoe is my weirdest middle, but I had to use it. [name_f]Eira[/name_f] means snow
[name_u]Yule[/name_u] [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f]
Summary
[name_u]Yule[/name_u] for Yuletide. [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f] means gift of the sun. I interpreted this as holiday-inspired in two ways. One, gifts are a common theme amongst most major [name_u]December[/name_u] holidays. Secondly, in a traditional Yuletide celebration you’re supposed to stay up until the sun rises
Bonus: Names I didn’t get to use:
[name_f]Yulia[/name_f], [name_f]Joy[/name_f], [name_u]Bell[/name_u], [name_u]Conifer[/name_u], Jolly, [name_u]Love[/name_u], [name_f]Ginger[/name_f] (for gingerbread), [name_u]Garland[/name_u], [name_u]Holly[/name_u], [name_f]Star[/name_f], Tinsel, [name_u]Noble[/name_u] (for noble fir trees), [name_f]Milagros[/name_f] (for the meaning of miracles), [name_m]Jack[/name_m] for [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_u]Frost[/name_u]
I don’t know if i’d actually use one for a [name_u]December[/name_u] baby, but they are fun to come up with.
