The sparkling Winter names

I am finding myself drawn to [name_u]Winter[/name_u] middle names for my [name_u]Winter[/name_u] baby. Most of the obvious ones do not work for us.

[name_u]Winter[/name_u] - love this but we already have an [name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_f]Snow[/name_f] - love this also in the middle spot but it doesn’t work with our LN
[name_u]Frost[/name_u] - I like this but would prefer a multi-syllable middle name

I recently came across Iverine on here, which I like as it fits with our Norwegian heritage, and although it doesn’t actually mean anything about [name_u]Winter[/name_u], it reminds me of the [name_m]French[/name_m] word for [name_u]Winter[/name_u] (hiver). Looking for some more “off the beaten path” [name_u]Winter[/name_u] names like this.

Lumi- Finnish word for snow
Vinter- Swedish word for winter
Snö- Swedish word for snow (just kidding:))
[name_f]Frostine[/name_f]
Angerona
[name_f]Eira[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwyneira[/name_f]

I love [name_u]Winter[/name_u]! We plan to use it as a middle name for our little girl.

If [name_f]Holly[/name_f] is too obvious, what about [name_u]Hollis[/name_u]?

I like your idea of Iverine.

I also like the sound of [name_f]Anouk[/name_f]. No real winter association, but it conjures lovely images of snow for me.

What about [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]? It’s an evergreen shrub.

Summary/Other suggestions:

[name_f]Anouk[/name_f]
[name_f]Lux[/name_f]
Iverine
[name_u]Hollis[/name_u]
[name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]

Befana (woman from the Italian folklore who delivers gifts to children, much like Sinterklaas or [name_f]Santa[/name_f] [name_m]Claus[/name_m])
Eirwen
[name_f]Holiday[/name_f]
Marzanna (Slavic goddess associated with winter … and death)
[name_f]Natalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Neva[/name_f]
Noëlle

Though probably more of a christmas name, [name_f]Christabel[/name_f] has been used in the British [name_m]Royal[/name_m] Family for [name_f]Alice[/name_f], the Duchess of Gloucester, and [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] of [name_m]Kent[/name_m] who both were born on the 25th of [name_u]December[/name_u], so it’s very much a wintery name to a royalist like myself.

If I have a child in the winter, I would love to do a winter middle name too. Here are some of the one’s I could think of.
[name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
Chione/Khione- (key-own-ee) the Greek word for snow
[name_f]Emanuelle[/name_f]/[name_f]Emanuella[/name_f]
[name_f]Nicole[/name_f]/[name_f]Colette[/name_f]- any variation of [name_m]Nicolas[/name_m] (St. [name_u]Nick[/name_u])
[name_f]Holly[/name_f]
[name_f]Eira[/name_f]
and I’ve always associated Clara with the winter too, because of the Nutcracker ballet.

I love [name_f]Eira[/name_f]. I also know a little girl who was born on [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] and her middle name is [name_m]Nollaig[/name_m], which I believe is [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] in Gaelic.

Lumi, [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], and [name_f]Lux[/name_f] are all on my long list, but none pair that well with my top firsts. So frustrating!

I’m loving [name_u]Winter[/name_u] lately. I had it on my list for several years and it’s one of those that I like more and more the more I hear or see it. I agree [name_u]Winter[/name_u] and [name_u]August[/name_u] might be too matchy, but who cares? Only your opinion matters :slight_smile:
Other names with the [name_u]Winter[/name_u] feel in my opinion
