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

@YaLoVeras this is another reason we like the name as my boyfriends nan was named Winnie and we could use that as a nickname ☺️

I love the name Winter .... Winter was on our list for boys ... i think it could work for a girls name too.

@Firtreefir so I guess you don't like names such as 'summer' and 'autumn' .. and as I said in the thread the middle names have a meaning that is why I am using them and I think they sound beautiful with winter ☺️

I half like it. But.........not quite.

What about Winnie?

I think that as Winter is a word with its own meaning, it sounds very cheesy/twee/childish (also, in the case of Violet slightly porn star-ish) when paired with another name that is also a word. Especially when the other name also has a nature related meaning.

Winter Violet and Winter Blossom are both awful and over the top. If you're using Winter, then pair it with a normal name that is just a name (with no meaning).

E.g. Winter Elizabeth
Winter Chloe
Winter Jane

Awful, sorry.

Cold, dreary, 'wintry mix'. Also, not a first name: what if she ends up with a partner whose surname is Winter?
