Christmas themed names

[queenofthedump]

I know the obvious ones (Holly, Joseph, Gabriel etc) but noticed on a thread recently that someone had said Casper was a Christmassy name as it was the name of one of the wise men.

Are there any other Christmas names that we may not have otherwise considered to be so?

Balthazar and Melchior were the other two wise men!
I always loved the name Noelle, I think it's beautiful!

Other ideas:
Nicholas/Nick
Emmanuel, Gabriel
Jasper
Claus
Joseph
Mary (or Marie/Maria), Christian/Christopher/Christina
Gloria
Eve
Ivy
Estelle/Estella
Emmanuelle
Faith
Hope
Angelica
Ember
Hermione
Harmony
Grace
Robin
Bell/Belle
Carol
Joy
Hope
Winter
December
Yule
Angel

Sylvester is new year, well St Sylvester is on the continent.
Nicholas for St Nick
Balthazar is one of the kings though you'd probably need to be pretty bold to go for this (would love to have the courage).

Variations on the theme of "Star" - e.g. Stella, Seren

Natalie, Natalia and Natasha are names that mean born at the time of the Nativity. Interestingly Nathan and Nathaniel sound like they should mean the same but actually mean gift from God.

St. Adele's feast day is Christmas Eve.
St. Stephen's Day is Boxing Day

Ebeneezer?

Mistletoe?

Rudolph?

Natasha is 'Ah, Satan' spelt backwards.

I didn't know it was a Christmassy name.

Beth - for Bethlehem

Natasha is also an anagram for Ah Santa

Carol / Caroline
Natalie

Noel, Noelle, Carol(e)

Lumi is a lovely Finnish name meaning "snow". Neve/Nieve also means snow.

Belen is a Spanish girl's name and means Bethlehem.

David for King David? Herod? (joking, joking...)

Oh and Eirlys - a Welsh name meaning "snowdrop".

Hosanna?

Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and Vixen. Oh, and Rudolph of course (Rudy for short)

Ooh thanks! Some great ideas! I love Noelle...

I adore the simplicity of Holly.

My dd was born on xmas day, she's called Noora (Arabic for light) which coincidentally is quite a Christmassy meaning, as we wanted that name anyway! Middle name we put Maryam since it was Christmas - Arabic version of Mary. The baby in the next bed was holly!

Other Christmassy names:

Eve (if Christmas Eve)
Holly
Ivy
Lucy (means light)
Esther or Estelle (star)
Noelle
Mary
Mariah?

Stephen

If you have a Christmas baby please give it a normal name. I was born at Christmas and I'm so pleased I have a normal name, It's a horrible time to have a birthday and you dont want to be reminded about it all the time!

Robin - christmassy but not too obvious.

My Christmas baby is called
Leah

Nollaig

It may have been my recent thread you saw regarding Caspar, my Christmas Day baby's name. His middle name is Felix which often came up as a suggestion as a Christmassy name given it's meaning of 'happy, lucky' - very appropriate for the time of year and again not obviously linked to Christmas.
