Due at Christmas time so would like a Christmassy name. Don't know the sex yet so both for boy and girl. Any ideas?

All i have so far is Noel / Noelle...

I always think of that Dick Francis book with two twins, Christmas (Kit) and Holly. If I was brave enough I'd name a Christmas baby boy Christmas, Kit for short! (pretty sure I'm not brave enough though)

Holly is a beautiful Christmassy name, but then I'm biased, I have a Holly, only she was born in April.

My DD was born 2.5 weeks early on Christmas Day, we stuck with our original first name but chose the middle name "Joy".

My best friend has got a Daughter called Noleen Yve (similar to Noelene Eve) and a son called Nicolas Klaus! They are twins born on the 25th December!!!! (I feel sorry for them aswell) Her sister had a girl born on halloween and called the poor think Bellatrix (Draco Malfoy's Mum, Harry Potter)

My kid was born on King's Day (6th January) and her name is Epiphany which mean happy, joyous moment it is also another word for King's Day
