Autumnal/Winter Girls Names

Hiiii,

We are expecting our first baby next year :) and although we are not finding out the sex we are convinced we are having a little girl! Also, we are sorted for boys names (I think).

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas for Girls names that are wintery/autumnal? Something different.

Thanks in advance :)

Winter/ autumn?

How about
Aria?

What’s your boys name out of interest?

My girls middle name is winter. She's a December baby. We all love it! Would have had it as a first name but would have been odd with my other 2s names which are uncommon traditional sources she has another lovely name that suits them as sisters.

Winter is a beautiful name Imo obviously lol

@ThinkPink71

Edison is an excellent name

I personally prefer the spelling winter - I think there’s been a thread on that name recently and the name was really popular - I love it

I still think you could use Autumn- especially as she’s left but it wouldn’t matter if she hadn’t

I really like the names that are already on the list, but if you're looking for some "less obvious" names a few I've found are:
Hollis (holly tree)
Ivo (yew tree)
Ember (like embers in a fire)
Lumi (snow in Finnish)
Ceyln (holly in Welsh)
Hestia (goddess of the hearth in Greek mythology)
Camellia (a type of winter flower)
Eirlys (snowdrop flower in Welsh, another winter flower)

I know these aren't all super traditional, but just some thoughts I had! Best of luck on the search!

Just thought of this while driving home listening to Christmas music

For a little girl you could call her Meredith and her nickname could be Merry
I've always loved Meredith and Merry would be a natural nickname for her

I found the combined name of Autumn and Tara on a baby name website once and thought it was pretty.

Autara.

Autumn is one of the best names. I also love winter spelt the obvious way.

It depends how different you want to go.
A more normal name would be something like Noelia. More hippy would be Solstice. More unusual would be December.

Holly in Welsh is Celyn rather than Ceyln. (Kell-inn)

Eirlys means Snowdrop (Eyr-liss is the nearest pn I can come up with)

Iona (Yonna, not eye-oh-na) is from ionawr which is January in Welsh.
