Christmassy boys names

[MrsJoeyMaynard]

We are expecting DC3 in December. Not looking for girl's names - DC1 & 2 are boys, so we've got a good idea of favourite girl's names for our shortlist.

One thing we've considered is whether to have a seasonal name, but we're struggling to think of many boy ones except Noel and Robin, which neither of us like. Any Christmassy boy's name suggestions?

I loathe 'seasonal' names. So naff.

That's nice dear.

Op? How about Kris as in Kringle?

Nick, shortened version of Nicholas?

Wenceslas?

Pudding?

Casper is great X

Theodore, named after the bloke in my favourite Christmas-time book, Little Women. Bit of a stretch, though.

I'd ditch the seasonal name idea.

ALL Irish male Christmas babies used to be called Stephen. Probably not so much anymore.

There was a thread earlier about boys called Ivy...!

Robin is fab

I did suggest Nicholas but DH giggled childishly about it sounding like "knickerless" So I guess that's out!
What the hell?

Joseph, Jack, Gabriel, Jesus,

Whathaveilost - maybe it's an accent thing? Or a hangover from DH's school days....

I think my favourites out of the names suggested are Joseph, Casper and Gabriel.

Stephen is nice but is it a bit dated these days? I've met a fair few Stephen's but can't think of any I know under 30 years old.

Nadal means Christmas in Catalan. Rafael Nadal has it as a surname, but is also a first name in its own right.

I'd use a Christmas name as a middle name. That's what we did and our son was born on Christmas day.

I'd go with Gabriel because it's a lovely name and very seasonal but not in an obvious way, like Noel.

Or you could pick from Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Donder, Comet, Cupid or Blitzen.

I'm due just after Christmas and Caspar is on out list. I like it anyway but it's seasonal without being in-your-face Christmassy.

I like Gabriel and Caspar too, though the seasonal aspect of Caspar is something I wasn't aware of?
Joshua And Caleb are lovely too!

Casper is cute on a child but not so much on an adult imo

Stephen is nice but is it a bit dated these days? I've met a fair few Stephen's but can't think of any I know under 30 years old.

If you like it, don't rule it out, its having a bit of a resurgence around here, so its likely to become more popular again.

I know of 3 under 2, friends grandson goes by the NN Stevie

All Irish men I know with Christmas birthdays are Noel. Nollaig is popular no.

This joke about "knickerless" must be very old, I have a Nicholas born in December (which was not expected as I was 2 weeks overdue) and I never heard this kind of joke, other then on MN. It is indeed very infantile.

Nathaniel, means God has given and the shorter "Nat" is nice too as well.
