Hubby wants to know more winter names (other than the ones on the nameberry hot list “winter names”). Does anyone have any ideas? They don’t have to pertain to [name]Christmas[/name], but anything to do with winter (white, snow, etc.).
[name]Crystal[/name]
[name]Nevada/name
[name]Clarity[/name]/[name]Clarita[/name](captures the crispness of a [name]Winter[/name]'s day)
[name]Misty[/name]
[name]Eira[/name] is a Welsh name that means ‘snow’ (also a Norse name meaning ‘healing’) Eirwen is a variation as well as [name]Gwyneira[/name] which means ‘white snow’
[name]Rima[/name] is a Norse name meaning ‘white frost’
I guess all names meaning white would be winter-y, referencing snow, like [name]Alba[/name], [name]Wendy[/name], [name]Blanche[/name] and such ([name]Alba[/name] being the best…)
[name]Nicole[/name]/[name]Nicola[/name] since it’s the feminine form of (st.) [name]Nicholas[/name] the origin of [name]Santa[/name] [name]Claus[/name]…
Lumi is Finnish for ‘snow’
[name]Virginia[/name]
I really love the suggestions of [name]Hollis[/name] and [name]Neve[/name]. Dearest’s suggestion of [name]Wendy[/name] reminded me of [name]Wendolyn[/name] and [name]Gwendolyn[/name].
[name]Nellie[/name] Stevens is a type of holly, so perhaps [name]Nell[/name] could be an option for you.
You may also like [name]Natalie[/name], which means “born on [name]Christmas[/name] day.”
Hmmmm…
Well, I like
[name]Neve[/name] -like [name]Neve[/name] [name]Campbell[/name], right?
[name]Natalia[/name] is already on our ever-growing list (he prefers [name]Natalie[/name] though - I’m rolling my eyes at that one)
[name]Ivy[/name] - I’ve liked for a while, still trying to get hubby to bite.
[name]Noelle[/name] - was on our list at one point, it snuck off though.
[name]Eira[/name] is interesting, so is [name]Gwyneira[/name] - but I’d definitely be worried about pn problems.
[name]Avery[/name] (techinically means elf, and has been used in folk tales as the name of the leader of [name]Santa[/name]'s [name]Christmas[/name] elves)
[name]Nicola[/name] (in honor of [name]St[/name]. [name]Nick[/name])
I was looking up [name]Neve[/name] and found [name]Neva[/name] and [name]Nevara[/name] - I’m not sure on the pn though. What do you all think about those names?
I like [name]Neve[/name], but I’m not fond of names that are one syllable.
Ugh. I like the name ( names with “yooneek” spellings catch my eye), but we had a friend who’s very, very, VERY bratty daughter was named [name]Kayla[/name]. Now hubby won’t even go near names like [name]Kaylee[/name], [name]Kaitlyn[/name], [name]Cailyn[/name] (which was my favorite for a long time), etc.
Completely understand. There are a lot of names that have been RUINED for me by bratty kids. But there are also names that I have changed my mind on when the child is sweet.
