If I was having a girl at Christmas what would I call her?
If I was having a boy at Christmas what would be his name?

Ds was due on Christmas Day, he is called Caspar ( 3 wise men reference ).

He was early ( 30th November ) but for us it's already the Christmas season then and we are Christmas nuts in our family so he was still named Caspar.

Nothing Christmas themed. Christmas birthdays are shit enough without your name being defined by it all year round too Confused

This. I have a friend with a late December birthday called Holly and she hates it.

I was due on Christmas Day and was meant to be called Christina. I was several weeks early, and was called something completely different.

I’d use Christmas as a reason to use one of my favourite names, which DH has previously veto’ed - Gabriel.

Not sure about a girls name.

I've always loved the name Noelle.

Unnecessary side note: I had a little best friend called Noelle, until we were 4, and her parents moved back to Crete. Our mums became friends in hospital (both were in hospital with severe HG). I sometimes think about her and wonder if she remembers me too.

This ^
I think it's a horrible idea, I'd absolutely hate to have a Christmas themed name.

Absolutely everyone I know with a Christmas or even just a December birthday hates it so I think being called Gabriel or third innkeeper would really top it off!

Ember for a girl

My cousin was born on Christmas Day 83 years ago. She was born to my Aunty Mary and Uncle Joe ( honestly) her name isn’t vaguely connected to the season 🙂

I actually like Christmas as a name for a boy. There was a well respected judge called that . (Mr Justice Christmas Humphries, if I recall correctly.)

Christmas Birthdays don't have to be bad at all it is what you make of it. Just toying with the possibility of some names nothing set in stone. Thanks for people's suggestions!
