Seasonal Baby Names

[Dummyhunter]

Hi everyone

We are due on new years eve and would like a festive name but not obvious.

We are only thinking of girls names as we are pretty stocked up on boys names (family names).

DH has already ruled out

Noelle (l loved this)
Carol
Ivy

Any other ideas?

natalie, natalia?
but maybe your baby will come mid january?

Holly
Mary

Already have a Natalie in the family - shame l liked this too. l know it could be late (DD was a week late by Drs dates bang on for mine) but l am being a bit wimsickle [grim]

Mary, Anna, Salome, Holly, Christina, Angelica, Gabrielle

Oh l love Angelica

Holly - friends daughter
Christina - friend!!
Gabrielle - two little boys at playgroup with thius name
Quite like Mary and Anna though

tiffany relates to epiphany
angelina
gabriella

Christabel
Epiphany
Magdalen (not really seasonal but I got there from Magi)

Maria as an alternative to Mary?

Michaela
Angel/Angelica
Eve?

Emmanuelle

Silvestra

Robyn

Was going to suggest Eve but MagicAnnie beat me to it - so just to add, www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Eve lists some names based on Eve.

Nicholas (as in the saint)
Scarlet

Noelle is lovely. Can you push your OH a little harder?

Thanks guys - sorry l didnt reply the computer had a virus (all better now)

l really love Noelle but unfortunately DH really dislikes it but he is coming around to Anna, Angelica or Faith - any opinions?

aia like Anna since I tend to prefer simple names, I'm also biased becasue have many family members named Anna :)
