Summer baby named Winter?

I don't think it matters also it's a lovely name

Yes please do update us and good luck @CherryCreme

I love the name Winter and would use whatever month baby was born

I went to uni with a girl called Winter, she however was born in the winter.
She goes by the name Winnie now though! Which is think is lovely.

Winter is a lovely name. And it’s always Winter somewhere in the world 🤷‍♀️

She'll likely get called "Win" rather than Winnie by friends. Winnie also has all "the Pooh" implications.

Most kids round here seem to shorten names to the first syllable. Winn/Wynn as a standalone girl's name also works (means "friend", which is nice, imo.) Though there are all the implications of being called "Winn" - for the win, why are you called Win when you're a loser, etc. But kids will pick on anything really.

I don't know if "Winter is coming" is going to be an issue. Hopefully by the time she's old enough to be bothered by it, pop culture will have moved on.

It is tough because you don't know what your child will be like. All the "the pooh" and "is coming" stuff would bother me and I wouldn't want to live that name, personally, but some people would be happy shrugging all that off.

Conceived in winter?

It wouldn't bother me. I like the name Winter.

I liked Holly but felt it was not right for a summer born baby. Long term it would have made no difference whatsoever though, so I don’t really know why I let that put me off!

I think it's fine if you really like the name, as others have pointed out it will be winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
However, something you might not have though of - I know it's not the same but I wanted to call my cat winter because she's white, however, when I told my husband he burst out laughing and started making loads of game of thrones jokes "winter is coming" etc. Might not be an issue in a few years time as GOT has finished now but just wanted to let you know.
I think it is a lovely name with Winnie as nn though

I would think it strange that someone called Winter wasn't born in winter. I would also find it odd uf an April had been born in October. My middle name is May because I was born in May.

I teach a summer and an autumn and have never considered whether they were born in those seasons or not. I think it's fine and winnie is a very cute nn

Oh it's absolutely fine, how many times do you meet somebody and ask when they were born? Beyond the fleeting childhood obsession with birthdays, it's just not an issue.

I went to school with a Winter (early 80s baby) and never thought anything of it. Also have no idea when she was born, and I don't think it would have occurred to me to ask.

A friend has a summer, was due September I think, and that was classed as a summer date still, but she went two weeks over due and the baby was born in autumn in October, she still called her summer and no one questions it and they have never had any negative comments about the name.

She is also such a lovely and clever girl, the name suits her perfectly!

I have a Summer- wouldn’t have used the name if she’d been a winter born baby though. Imo it’s a bit strange

It’s a ridiculous name at the best of times (since it isn’t a name) and to call a summer baby it is ludicrous and opens them to a lifetime of teasing. You can do better for your child than this.

My goddaughter is called Winter and she was born in the middle of one of the hottest Summers we've had in a long time. I confess that I thought it was a bit of a strange choice initially, but it quickly just became her name and I never think about it not "matching" her season of birth now. Lots of people have names that don't make literal sense. I have 2 colleagues with names that are months and neither was born then, the India I know was born in Birmingham, Jackson's father is called David and Fletcher is a teacher, not an arrow maker.
If you like it, use it. Obviously I'm biased, but I like it too.

My dd is Autumn, born in February. We were talking about her name earlier and she said that 9/10 people she meets tell her they love her name. She is 23 and really suits it. The February birthday has never occurred to me, we just loved it and it really suits her.

I can’t imagine people finding out her name is Winter and then immediately asking what month she was born.
If you love it, go for it ♥️ Xx

Summer born..Winter conceived? 😉

If I met Winter it wouldn't occur to me to confirm that she was/not born in Winter. It's a name. That's all!

I think it’s fine for a Winter to be born in summer. In fact, it’s better that way than if she was born in winter - which would maybe be a bit naff. I like it as a name - spelled that way, definitely not with a Y. I would never assume April, June, etc were born in April or June either. I would assume they weren’t.

I know someone with it as a middle name she was born late Autumn/early winter. I heard a boy called it as well but not Wynter.
