In a bid to try and get this overdue baby moving tonight, anyone have suggestions for a winter solstice name for her?

Ah yes, anything with light - Lucy.

Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe time...

Rowan?

Come on , little one - we want you to come out from the comfy bump and and be named by the MN fairy godmothers :) It's a good night to be born on.

Quite magical. Shooting stars and a full moon.

How much more of an entrance would you like?

I love these names! My pagan heart is lifted.
Ummm.. Holly, Ivy, Lucia (light) pron Loocheeah, Fawn, Dawn, Friga, Bridie, Robyn.

I know a Midwinter (middle name) I think its a fab name.

You could play safe with Claire or Klara.

Maybe a bit too much for you but

Lumen
Aurora

Dawn ( which is so apt)

Wishing you a Happy Solstice Op

Nothing useful to contribute, but just thinking how beautiful and evocative many of these names suddenly sound when I think of them in connection with winter solstice, rather than being just names.
