Opinions on baby girl name

Me and my OH are really swaying towards naming our baby girl Winter...

I realise this isn't a lot of people's cup of tea but I just think the name is so pretty and rare... also a reason is that I really liked the name Winnie however my OH felt like it wasn't substantial as her real first name hence why we then thought of Winter with nickname Winnie.

But I wanted to get a feel for what the general opinion on the name is... I feel like names like summer and April and autumn are accepted so I don't see why Winter is any different or is that just me?

TIA

I personally love it and its actually not too zany in my opinion. However not if child is born outside of Winter. I know a Summer born in December and I find it a bit weird.

Love Winnie! Winter is cute too!

I think Winter is lovely. I'm not a fan of Winnie though and would feel a good name is spoilt by the nickname.

I love it! Why not who cares as long as you love it! My baby girl is April but born in March and I loved it from 22weeks pregnant and I thought who cares if no one likes it I love it! So we named her April and ifs a rolling joke was she born in April but my reply is nope called April born in March 😀 x

I don’t hate it but it wouldn’t be my choice

Honestly the more I think about it the more I like it and I know a couple of Autumns in sensible adult jobs so I think it would age fine.

@dreichsky thank you! And yes she is due beginning of January so I thought that was also a sweet reason as she is born in winter...some might say that silly but each to their own I suppose! I wouldn't consider the name had she of been a summer baby haha!

dreichsky · 14/10/2019 00:25

It's a little out there but I actually rather like it, assuming she will be born during winter and not July?

Love it 💜

I wanted to name our cat Winter just so we could say Winter is coming ... so you might want to prepare yourself for those kind of comments if you do.
