Just for fun, no baby incoming from me Grin
What are your favourite Christmas-related names?

Mine:
Girls: Ivy, Noelle, Natasha (apparently means "birthday of Jesus Christ" in Russian)
Boys: Gabriel, Rudolph (I'd never use this one sadly!), Nicolas

I like a lot of the names here. I find. ‘Clara’ feels very Christmassy to me.
My sister was actually born on Christmas, and her first name is in another language but it means candlelight.

I've always liked Herod. Perhaps Herrodd to make sure it's properly Mumsnet You-nique.
Thinking of Herry or maybe Roddy as a nickname.
TTC so thinking of Salome if it's a girl.

When researching my family tree I discovered a great great uncle called Christmas!

My son was born on Boxing Day, he wasn’t due for a few weeks so hadn’t thought of Christmas names. I wanted to add Stephen as a middle name but B didn’t want to.

daisypond · 17/12/2020 21:55

Tiffany. Really ancient name to do with 12th Night.

I love Christmas names! I've always held it against my in-laws that they didn't give my brother-in-law (born on Christmas day) a themed name Grin

I do know a baby born in December given a Christmas name, Ivy but it is spelled Ivey. No idea why there's an e in there.

Grin I like the urban legend of Russel Sprout too! Could be twisted to be Christmassy?
