A friend of mine asked me what I thought of this as a potential name for her expected little girl. I said I wasn't sure for a first name but thought it could work really well as a middle name. What do other people think?

It's a bit cold, is Winter.

...or Winter Vomiting Disease. That's unlikely though I guess.

just make sure middle name is not Vomiting.

No. And if the girl married she could end up as something truly risible like Winter Boot.

Don't worry Pink, I'm sure we can come to some kind of amicable out of court settlement

My dd has a friend called Autumn, and people keep calling her Summer by mistake!

Winter is bonkers.

FlightAttendant · 14/10/2009 14:40

I would draw the line at'Spring'.

There is a Winter at DD's nursery. I quite like it as a name, but DH thinks that it's odd.

FlightAttendant · 14/10/2009 14:39

I actually think it is gorgeous.

Sorry everyone!

LowLevelWhinging - I have to apologise, I have been using your nn a lot to describe dd lately. Am I breaching copyright?

purlease · 14/10/2009 14:38

don't like it. It is more like a surname. The only season I think works as a name is Summer and I don't particularly like that either.

kittywise · 14/10/2009 14:38

no, it's a rubbish name

MrsBadger · 14/10/2009 14:38

No

as a a middle name it will sneak past as people will think it is her mother's/grandmother's maiden surname or something

but as a first name, no

colditz · 14/10/2009 14:38

It's the kind of name a nine year old girl who has been watching too much American TV would cook up.

sagan · 14/10/2009 14:38

Nope

LowLevelWhingeing · 14/10/2009 14:37

IMVHO it's a great name for a season.

colditz · 14/10/2009 14:37

No, it's not a good name. It's a silly name.
