Winter as a first name for a girl. What are your thoughts?

Also, do you think as the season spelling 'Winter' or with a y 'Wynter'?

I like Summer, Autumn and Winter as names, but for me the child would have to be born in the appropriate season.

I really love Winter. It doesn’t seem gloomy to me. Not a fan of the Wynter spelling.

I love it, but prefer it a thousand times over with an I rather than a Y. It doesn't feel gloomy to me at all, just pretty!

Winter us a beautiful name, I love it.
Not with a Y though, thats just not nice.

Not sure and I'd think of it more if a boy name

I like Summer for a girl

Winter is quite a common surname too. She could marry one!!!

Please no! I know someone who named their summer born baby winter and its just awful! Far nicer names then the gloomiest time of the year

Why would you want to saddle her with the name of the most miserable season of the year? Sorry but it’s awful.

Bit Game of Thrones. I haven't watched it but even I know 'Winter is coming'

FelicityPike · 02/07/2021 14:23

I can’t stand it, especially not when spelled with a ‘Y’
