Hi all Grin we are due our baby (we haven't found out the gender) on 24 December Smile

Is there any Christmas themed baby names out there? Would love to see what I think of a few as it's a nice idea for a little Christmas baby [santa]

Aside from Holly I seem to be drawing a blank!!

Carol if it is a girl.

Could use Sully as a nickname even.

Rudy
Caspar (was a wise man)
Silvester (new year in Germany if baby arrives late! Could use Suy as a nickname)
Ivy
Holly

Don’t do it. They’ll hate you enough for giving them a Christmas birthday without having a themed name to match. Middle name if you must, but not first name!

^This. Christmas themed first name is ridiculous

I've met a few December birthdays with winter/Christmas names

Hollie
Noel
Joseph
Winter
Rory
Bethel

I like all of them, Winter is the prettiest and the girl I know looks like winter as well, very pale with white blonde hair and pale blue eyes.

Holly, not holy!

ChaosMoon · 03/10/2018 12:42

Celyn means holy in Welsh, but it's more traditionally a boys name. (It's pronounced (Kel-in)

Brandy
Cherry
Stella Maris

Trampire · 02/10/2018 17:48

Seren (star)

Struggling for boys though...

My DD was born Christmas Eve and we gave her the middle name Eve.

Bakerbounce · 02/10/2018 16:11

Holly!

I think gently festive names are lovely. Also love month names for children born in those months - April, May, June etc.

DD was due 23rd. Arrived 5th Jan. not such a Christmas baby after all 😩

smorgasborgen · 02/10/2018 15:19

Hey, I'm due 25th Dec but having a c se tion on the 17th and I'm 80% set on Merryn nn merry/wren for short.
Wanted it t b a happy name but not too clichéd... Obv I'm obsessing if it's right but that's just me!

Thigh

Lol.

Thighofrelief · 02/10/2018 09:16

Sassh - I find it more disappointing when they are not.

I know a June not born in June.
April not born in April.
Tuesday not born on a Tuesday.

It's just not tidy!!!

Booie09 · 02/10/2018 06:08

Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen. Santa??

sashh · 02/10/2018 05:46

ChristmasArmadillo

It's not just Christmas when people can have a lack of imagination, my mum was born in June, so that's what they called her.

Holly
Ivy
Jesus
Shepherd
Sean (as in the sheep - not obviously Xmas)
John and or Lewis
Mary
Joseph
Caesar
Gabrielle / Gabriel
Eve - if actually born on the 24th
Anastasia for the 25th
Stephen / Stephanie if born on the 26th

The last 2 are saints days.

TheDowagerCuntess · 02/10/2018 05:22

There are some lovely suggestions on this thread, and I think Noelle is lovely (Noel less so!).

But as a Christmas baby myself, I'd caution against it. And I say this as someone who adores Christmas!! ☀️🎄

ChristmasArmadillo · 02/10/2018 03:27

As a person with a Christmas Day birthday — please don’t. Grin Of course I’m being lighthearted as you can name your child whatever you like but I do feel like my parents didn’t put much original thought into my name and just chose something vaguely holiday themed.

Thighofrelief · 02/10/2018 02:47

Eeyore - everyone forgets Mary's donkey!

GinIsIn · 02/10/2018 02:41

Balthazar (wise man)
Joy
Christopher
Nicholas
Ivy
David (as in the city/star of)
Brigid (patron saint of turkeys!)
Anthony (patron saint of donkeys)
Estella
Gabriel
