Welsh name alert.
The welsh word for snowdrop is a fairly popular name. it is Eirlys not Irilys.
It is a pretty name but not easily pronounceable if you do not speak Welsh fluently. Neither is Eira (fairly popular name meaning snow.
Please do not subject your child to a name that only a few people can pronounce or spell.

Winter Rose.

Irilys should be Eirlys if you're thinking of using it.

I don't think it matters so much if your mum's best friend's daughter is called Isla, if you're using it as a middle name.

Other suggestions: -

Winter Simone Stephens
Winter Estelle Stephens
Winter Dulcie Stephens. Dulcie means sweetness.
Winter Celeste Stephens. Celeste means heavenly.
Winter Louise Stephens
Winter Emmeline Stephens
Winter Emily Stephens
Winter Amanda Stephens... Loving the name Amanda at the moment. It means "worthy of love".
Winter Felicity Stephens. Felicity means happy / lucky.
Winter Amy Stephens. Amy means loved.
Winter Beatrice Stephens. Beatrice means "She who brings happiness".

Happy choosing, op.

The more I see Winter written down the odder it looks though!!!

FizzyGreenWater · 10/08/2017 15:38

Flower names are the best option though I think. Winter with another random name generally sounds quite odd but most of the flower ones work.

Winter Jasmine
Winter Rose
Winter Violet

Three syllables seems the best too:

Winter Isobel
Winter Cecily
Winter Emily
Winter Olympics (sorry)

strawberrypenguin · 10/08/2017 15:04

Winter Charlotte
Winter Jasmine
Winter Ariana

Winter Jasmine is growing in my garden - Winter Cicely may also still by growing by November (Myrrh) - it is quite difficult to avoid a middle name that placed with Winter doesn't define an object. Winter Eve, Winter Jade (which sadly sounds a bit like a shade of paint)

You can either go with this and deliberately play on it, bearing in mind you're going to have this with your future little Autumn and Summer when they come along (Summer Rose, Autumn Dawn), or go for traditional names that can't be joined, ie Isobel, Amy, Elise.

Winter Florence just makes me think of winter in Florence (the city).

Choccyhobnob · 10/08/2017 11:33

I vote Winter Florence! Love the name Winter for a middle name, wouldn't use it as a first name personally but that's just my taste.

MammieBear · 10/08/2017 10:55

Willow
Robin
Wren
Heather

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 10/08/2017 10:09

Winter Florence is gorgeous.

PandorasXbox · 10/08/2017 10:00

I like Winter. Florence, Isabella, Rose, Esme all go nicely imo.

MimiSunshine · 10/08/2017 09:38

Winter = slightly quirky / unusual but nice
Winter Khalessi = saddled with soon to date pop culture name

If you want something along that meaning what about
Winter Juno (Roman goddess, wife of Jupiter)
Winter Antoinette (famous French queen)
Winter Cayla (associated with a crown of laurel)
Winter Kelila (as above and similar to Khalessi)
Winter Guinevere (wife of King Arthur)

17caterpillars1mouse · 10/08/2017 09:33

Winter Annabel

grasspigeons · 10/08/2017 08:38

Something warm and sunny in contrast, like Joy or Eldora, Elaine, Helene or Diana.

T be honest I like Rose even if it is twee.

CocoLoco87 · 10/08/2017 08:17

Hanna means flower in Japanese...
Winter Hanna although I think
Hanna Winter Stephens sounds better.

CocoLoco87 · 10/08/2017 08:16

Winter Rose and Winter Willow are my favourite.
