Winter?

What do we think about the name Winter for a DD?

Other names I love are:

Violet
Cerys
Georgia
Avril

DP has mixed feelings with these, though does really like Winter...

Are there any other suggestions along these lines that aren't too "cutesy" but also not too common?

Bandwithering Yeah, Winter has kind of grabbed my attention...Not sure if I'm it loving it but it's sort of caught my eye. So mulling it over really...

With the others I sort of know I do like them, however I'm on the look out for some others.

Goodness it's tricky!!

Thanks PaperBank! Hadn't thought of the whole Bovril thing!!!! Haha!!

My 2 faves are Violet and Georgia too, though DP thinks Violet is a granny name... I keep telling him to just think about the flower Smile

From your suggestions I do like Juliet and Aster.

Winter - not sure. Now awful. I like Win or Winnie for short more than Winter.

Violet - ok, bit prissy. Again, it's kind of nice though. Pretty in a victorian way. It's come back but not as popular as in Victorian times.

Cerys - no really dislike this one. Very harsh

Georgia - I like this one.

Avril - urr, No. Bit frumpy sorry!!

What about Winifred with Win or Winnie for short?

Winter - not sure, would you want to be thought of as cold, chilly, unfriendly?
Violet - like
Cerys - OK
Georgia - like
Avril - too much like Bovril and anvil, prefer April

How about Coralie, Juliet, Ianthe, Aster, Cara, Miranda?
