Any ideas for a baby girl born in this snow/cold?

Eirwen is lovely? Er, yes for your Welsh 80 yr old great aunt maybe.
As a name for your DD it is difficult (almost impossible) to say properly if you are not a fluent Welsh speaker, it is unusual, is very dated, is not easy to spell etc.

Tried Google Translate
Winter - Zima (Bosnian & Croatian) Talvi (Finnish). Larna (Romanian).
Snow - Kalla (Swedish).

Eirwen is lovely
Perdita (means 'lost one' but she is in A Winter's Tale)

Estella?
Always loved that name!

AliasGrape · 01/03/2018 19:17

Love both Blanca and Alba, but then I loved the book The House of Spirits when I was young and they’re both characters, Clara also.

I know a Nia which I think means ‘bright’, I think that’s a nice name.

Willow (willows whiten, aspens quiver ... )

I'm guessing you've ruled out The Beast from the East?

One of my girls is called Eira, it’s a beautiful name :-)

BibiThree · 01/03/2018 18:19

I like Robin, for a boy or girl. Wintery links.

Tawdrylocalbrouhaha · 01/03/2018 18:17

Sneachta (shnockhta)(means snow in Irish, but has never totally caught on as a name, for some reason).

BillieN0mates · 01/03/2018 18:15

Olwen is beautiful.

BillieN0mates · 01/03/2018 18:14

Love Blanca but not Bianca or Blanche.

Also Nieves but not with Blanca in front of it !

Niamh? play on Nieve

calmandbright · 01/03/2018 17:45

Eira and it’s variations aren’t pronounced ‘ay’ at all - more like Ey-rah

Itscolderoutside · 01/03/2018 17:36

Pinga I mean....the little sister.

Itscolderoutside · 01/03/2018 17:35
