Winter, for a boy?

[BabyBoyDecember]

My daughter's middle name is Summer, she was born in Summer. I want to do the same for my son - he is due in December! Thoughts on Winter as a middle name, for a boy?

[GettingitwrongHauntingatnight]

Like it!

[Sophronia]

I like it too

[DramaAlpaca]

I quite like it too.

I'd expect a girl if it was a first name, but I don't think it would be an issue for a middle name.

[RebelRogue]

AllI can think think of is "Winter is coming"

[Artandco]

I like it. But would use Wynter or Wyn for a boy.

[Artandco]

Forgot to say my son has 'Wyn' as one of his middle names after my grandmother who is 'Wynifred'

[LittleMissMama93]

Cute name but he might get a bit of a hard time at school once he's older! Sounds more of a girls name.

Gorgeous as a middle name

[PunkrockerGirl]

Awful. It's a season, not a christian name.

[Ellieboolou27]

Sounds like girls name but that's maybe due to having a friend called win (winnifred).
Not keen tbh

[BabyBoyDecember]

Wynter is nice, but I'd like it to actually be the season

[Ellieboolou27]

Oh realised it was a second name, meh nobody really cares about them so sure it will be fine

[BabyBoyDecember]

My daughter has the middle name Summer, also a season, so that's not an issue to me!

[PunkrockerGirl]

Gorgeous as a middle name
No it's really, really not.
I love it when the op suggests a really shit name and posters pile on suggesting variations/different spellings of said name. No, swapping a few letters round will never detract from the fact that it's an awful, ridiculous, made up name
Out of interest, as we're talking about naming children after seasons, does anyone call their child 'Spring'?

[Bellaposy]

I like it for a middle name!

[PurpleDaisies]

I don't like it at all.

[BabyBoyDecember]

If my daughter was born in Spring, her middle name would have been Spring.

[pieceofpurplesky]

I can only think of Winter is coming (like pp).

[AddToBasket]

I was going to say that I loved it but then I saw RebelRouge's post and, yeah, I think best not to.

[YoScienceBitch]

Love it

[AllPowerfulLizardPerson]

It was a boy's name in Victorian times, then dropped out of use.

No reason not to give it to a boy, and 'Summer is coming' (or icumen in, if you prefer the Shakespearian version) is just as common a phrase and doesn't seem to be a problem for that season name.

[pieceofpurplesky]

Summer incumin though is not as popular at the moment as winter is coming .... in true Shakespeare style there are puns everywhere about the phrase

[Ohyesiam]

I liked it until you said about matching it to your dds name. Really don't like that matching family name thing.

[tigerdriverII]

What about Snowdrop for a girl?
