Found out that my baby is going to be a beautiful little girl💖 had my mind set on a name and now all of a sudden my mind has changed and I absolutely love WINTER with the middle name either Violet or Blossom (both have family history so please no nasty comments about the middle names) I love it but I don't know how other people will react , opinions please xxxx

It’s the kind of thing I normally disapprove of but I like Winter as a name.

I wouldn’t put it with Blossom though as it sounds a bit silly there being no winter blossom.

I like Winter Violet or Winter Rose as you do get both (the latter is calldd Hellebore)

Why not Violet Blossom if you want to use the names? Violet as the first, blossom as the middle

Jollyholliday · 12/08/2018 22:36

I like Violet Winter

bourbonbiccy · 12/08/2018 22:27

I really love the name winter and I like both the middle names, I just don't think they go together.

Winter blossom sounds lovely but just don't know if it lovely as a name, although the more I say it , I must admit I'm warming to it lol but do not like winter violet sorry

@raviolidreaming Grin Wine

ha ha lol at winter Parker! I didn't even think of that as I typed it.

rainingcatsanddog · 12/08/2018 22:09

Winter Parker (Winter Parka) would be an unfortunate combo

raviolidreaming · 12/08/2018 22:06

@YaLoVeras - thank you! My brain was stuck on giving the baby a surname! 🙈 Makes perfect sense now... and probably always did to everyone else Smile

haribosmarties · 12/08/2018 21:56

I think its lovely and also love both middle names.

Lynne1Cat · 12/08/2018 21:55

Why not? If you like it, have it.

My grandchildren are ALEXIA AUTUMN and ELYZA SUMMER

thereareflowersinmygarden · 12/08/2018 21:54

Winter Violet sounds like a porn name

BlaaBlaaBlaa · 12/08/2018 21:53

No, just no. Pick an actual name. Your cute little baby will turn into an adult that has to apply for jobs and will be judged.

YaLoVeras · 12/08/2018 21:53

@raviolidreaming, you cannot work out what my post means?! Confused

Ok, I assume that all OPs want to protect their anonymity, so although I"d like to know the sur name, I don't expect her to tell us. However, if her sur name is Baker and she gives us the sur name Barker or Harper or Parker or Cooper, then it will flow in the same way.

Pompom42 · 12/08/2018 21:47

I like it but only if they will be born in the Winter. It would be weird if they are a spring baby and you call her that

Belindabauer · 12/08/2018 21:43

I agree about it being paired with names that aren't actual things.
So Winter Jones = fine.
Winter Baker = no. In my opinion.
Also I wouldn't use it unless your baby was born in Winter.

raviolidreaming · 12/08/2018 21:41

What's the sur name? Or give a sur name with a similar pattern. ie, if it's wilson say robson. If it's Stone say Stack

I can't work out what this is meant to mean.
OP presumably can't change the surname and I can't see what difference it makes 🤔

MrsRyanGosling15 · 12/08/2018 20:45

I absolutely love that name. I don't think cold, dark and bleak when I hear winter. It's my favourite season. Love both middle names with it.

rainingcatsanddog · 12/08/2018 20:25

If you called her Winter Blossom and I knew you, I'd buy this as a gift after she arrived

PennyGH · 12/08/2018 20:22

I love Winter but do agree that it needs a more traditional middle name. As you’re set on Blossom or Violet as middle names (both great names, by the way) then I think the combo might not work. But it’s not terrible. If you like it, use it! How often do we say our first and middle names together anyway?

I love Winnie as a nickname, too. Winona is pretty as an alternative first name.

LucyFox · 12/08/2018 20:00

I like Winter but not with the middle names you have chosen
Violet Blossom would be lovely or Winter with a different name - a more “common” name like Winter Marie or Winter Alice or Winter Elizabeth or Winter Catherine

kenandbarbie · 12/08/2018 19:36

I prefer your middle name choices to winter. As others have said the combo is too paint colour sounding. Violet winter is nice though.

AgathaRaisonDetra · 12/08/2018 18:24

Where do you live?

In Hull she will be WinTOE
In Essex she will be Win'ARR
In London she will be Winner

Cittadineve · 12/08/2018 18:17

WInnie 🤮

Winter is fine but the combinations of Winter Violet and Winter Blossom are both the ridiculous. As pp said they sound like paint names.

If you ask for strangers opinions on the internet don’t expect them to sugar coat it.
