Thank you so much for your thoughts and ideas, everyone. As you can see by my postcount I’m very new but I think I am already in love with this place.
It’s given me a lot to think about.
Some specific replies: my husband has vetoed [name]Isla[/name] but I do like it.
[name]Winter[/name] [name]Iris[/name] loops back to the [name]Winter[/name] + [name]Flower[/name] hot potato question. So many people mentioned it though and it does have a lovely flow to it and its not a super common [name]Rose[/name]/[name]Lily[/name] name. Gives me something to think about.
[name]Winter[/name] [name]Rosamond[/name] is really pretty. I am going to put it on the list.
[name]Winter[/name] [name]Ramona[/name] is a combo I would do in a minute - I have always loved [name]Ramona[/name] but it rhymes our last name really hard, they tangle badly. I loved it with my MAIDEN name, of course. Grr.
[name]Winter[/name] [name]Rose[/name] I have a weird phobia of [name]Rose[/name] as a middle name. I do like [name]Rosemary[/name] and [name]Rosemarie[/name] and [name]Rosamund[/name] though.
[name]Winter[/name] [name]Renee[/name](New birth) - I like this.
[name]Winter[/name] [name]Christine[/name]/[name]Christina[/name] - Really pretty sounding for a different family. Be a bit odd for a Jew and an atheist. People would be weirded out.
[name]Winter[/name] [name]Isabelle[/name] - I know its popular but I would consider this, if not for my husband’s best friend’s daughter being named [name]Isabella[/name].
[name]Winter[/name] [name]Rachel[/name] - I think this is pretty too, but it is a very VERY popular name in my family/culture so that’s why I was thinking of [name]Rae[/name] and [name]Raquel[/name] as variations.
[name]Winter[/name] [name]Isis[/name] - Going to put this on the list.
[name]Winter[/name] [name]Leila[/name] - [name]Love[/name] it, but [name]Lilith[/name] was the only related name my husband and I could agree how it was spelt. I liked [name]Leila[/name] and [name]Laila[/name] and he only liked [name]Layla.[/name] :rolleyes:
Yes, we’re that petty.
I can’t reply to every name in one post, this is too long as it is, but you’re all brilliant! Thank you!
