Middle name for Winter? Sister to Foster...

We’ll be TTC baby 2 this year and our son’s name is [name_m]Foster[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]. [name_u]Winter[/name_u] has slowly edged out the others as our favorite girl name. I know they both end in -ter which doesn’t really bother me. I love the nickname [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] and I’m aware [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] & [name_m]Foster[/name_m] is pretty [name_m]Tuck[/name_m] Everlasting but that doesn’t bother me too much either. My issue is finding a middle name for [name_u]Winter[/name_u]. I think it needs something pretty girly and frilly for some reason. We’ve tossed around these but I’d love more suggestions or favorites from these:

[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Elora[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] (too [name_u]Christmas[/name_u]-y?)

Last name essentially sounds like Hunley with another letter after the n.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] that your thinking of using [name_u]Winter[/name_u]. It’s also a bit more fresh than [name_f]Summer[/name_f] and [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] (which is a plus in my book). [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] does seem a bit too [name_u]Christmas[/name_u]-y to me. [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] and [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] are both solid choices imo.

some suggestions:
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Corinne[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Ismay[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Edith[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Pippa[/name_f]

[name_m]Foster[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u] is a lovely name. From your suggestions, I like [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]. The [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] thing doesn’t bother me too much, since it’s not likely many people will know her middle name, and for those that do, it’s not really something that holds a lot of teasing potential. She might get asked if she was a [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] baby, but that’s about the worst I can think of.

Here’s a few more suggestions:

[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] (or [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] from your sig)
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Selene[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Isolde[/name_f]/Isola

I wanted to tell you more on FB but my cell is dying a slow death and it took me about 10 minutes to type what I did. Need to put FB on the iPad.

I am thrilled that you are highly considering [name_u]Winter[/name_u]. I find [name_m]Foster[/name_m] and [name_u]Winter[/name_u] so charming as a sibling set.

My top choice for you guys is [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]. Actually years ago did you think about [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]? Maybe it was someone else, it is a vague memory. You have loved [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] for years. [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is magical to me. It is charming and paints a beautiful snowy scene. I adore the combo personally and for you guys.

Thank you ladies! I really like [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] [name_f]Lilith[/name_f]/[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] is one I’ve tossed around some. I like [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] but SO already vetoed it. I’m simmering on [name_f]Elara[/name_f] some, it caught my attention.

@[name_f]Luneth[/name_f], yes it is :slight_smile: Thank you! He was 8 months old there but is almost 2 now :frowning:

@lovemysweeties, I tossed around [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] before but again felt it was too [name_u]Christmas[/name_u]-y maybe. We still love [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] but an online friend I talk to often used it recently so seeing it a lot seems to have made it lose some spark. It was always SO’s favorite and I was good with it but I’m not sure I’ve ever 100% loved it. I threw out [name_u]Winter[/name_u] this week and SO loved it and it’s grown a lot on both of us. It’s giving me that excited feeling.

Sounds like you might have found The One. So excited for you guys.

If I remember correctly I was thinking about [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] (honoring my parents and grandma) around the same time.

[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is beautiful, as is [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f].

[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is a little too much [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] in my opinion. I like [name_f]Elora[/name_f] best from your list.

[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_f]Eloisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Gabriella[/name_f]
[name_f]Inez[/name_f]
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f]
[name_f]Liliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Liora[/name_f]

From your list, I really like [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]. :slight_smile:

My favorites from your list are [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] and [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Elora[/name_f]. [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] sounds a little to [name_u]Christmas[/name_u]-y to me

I like a three syllable middle name with [name_u]Winter[/name_u] — Hunley.

My favorites are:
(Please excuse any repeats)
Winter________
[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]
[name_f]Isobel[/name_f]
[name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]
[name_f]Annelie[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Callista[/name_f]
[name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Leonie[/name_f]
[name_f]Marielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Pandora[/name_f]
[name_u]Nicola[/name_u]
[name_f]Natalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f]
[name_m]Isadore[/name_m]
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Eulalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Desiree[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]

[name_u]Winter[/name_u] is such a beautiful choice!

I love the flow of [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] but it does feel a bit “themed” to me, and [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] doesn’t feel as fresh to me as [name_m]Foster[/name_m]'s middle name of [name_u]Grey[/name_u]. I don’t know, I guess I’ve seen it quite a bit before. [name_m]How[/name_m] about something like [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Giselle[/name_f] or [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Cosette[/name_f] to get the same rhythm but with a fresh, feminine feel?

My favourite from your list is [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]. I think it’s a beautiful and romantic combo. I really like [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] too but I don’t find the flow quite so good.
