Name for a snow baby

[BlackberryandNettle]

Any ideas for a baby girl born in this snow/cold?

Neige (French for snow)
Theodora
Khione (Greek goddess of snow)

Neige is not a name though is it?

I know a little girl named Alba, also a Polish girl called Pola.

Eira is really nice, but Eirlys (snowdrop) is my absolute favourite girl's name. I'm a little bit sad I can't use it for my summer baby.
I personally would be encouraged, rather than put off, by it being an 'old lady' name. Names go in cycles. (Anyone know an Effie aged between 10 and 70?)

Gwenhwyfar - you say Neige is not a name, well neither are Snow and Winter, are they?

"Wales won't combust if non welsh citizens use welsh names."

Personally, I want the Welsh language to survive so the more people have Welsh names the better BUT I think it's disrespectful not to make an effort to pronounce them properly and that means asking Welsh speakers how they're pronounced and not anyone who may have have heard of the name. If you do call a baby Eira, make sure it's pronounced properly. It's not impossible at all for English speakers, just remember the eyh sound rather than ayh sound at the beginning.

Guinevere - my nick name is just not used as a name these days. Never met anyone with that name.

Milk - no, but some people might not have known that Neige is not a name so I was pointing it out.

"I personally would be encouraged, rather than put off, by it being an 'old lady' name. Names go in cycles. (Anyone know an Effie aged between 10 and 70?)"

Yes, but babies are usually given names that would have gone for their great grandparents rather than their grandparents. You don't see many baby Jean, Barbara or Sheilas.

Arctica

Thora (thaw a) 😀

Skye
Demetria (Greek goddess of winter), could have nn Demi)
Stephanie (on the feast of Stephen, deep and crisp and even)
Angelica, Angel, Angela, Angelina (from snow angel)

Guinevere - my nick name is just not used as a name these days. Never met anyone with that name

I’ve met a Guinevere. It’s rarity is a plus in my book.

Its - ^^

Emma, for the Storm Emma?

Love Emma suggestion

Everything is "not a name", until someone uses it as a name.

Tatiana - I wouldn't want to have a really common name like John, David, Stephen, etc. but having a rare name is quite a big challenge in life, believe me. Even people with quite common names have to repeat and spell their names sometimes. Imagine having to do that all the time and getting comments all the time.

Storm
Ronan Keatings (ex Boyzone) wife is called Storm.
Can you tell us what you decided on as l am fully invested now and need to know!!

I have a really rare name myself and I’m very happy with it thanks. As you say people with quite common names have to spell them, as there can be different versions, it’s no biggie.

In Iceland we have lots of 'snowy' names.

Frosti (frost)
Snædís (snow goddess)
Snæbjörn (snow bear)
Snævar (snow warrior)
Snæfríður (snow beautiful)
Ísólfur (ice wolf)
Ísleifur (ice heir)
Ísafold (ice land)
Þorri (midwinter)

Thora is genius!

Depending on which characters used for writing here are some Japanese winter names.

Miyuki can mean Beautiful snow
Yuki can mean Snow
Yukie can mean snow blessing

Pronounce syllables like this:

Mi rhymes with "me", but shorter sound...like the word "mimicry"
Yu rhymes with "you" but shorter sound....like the word "ukelele"
Ki rhymes with " key" but shorter sound....like "kiwi fruit"
E sounds like the "e" in "elephant".

Those four syllables make up all the names above.

Love this thread my sister had a baby boy last night and I'm almost disappointed she didnt name him Olaf or Kristoff!

Good luck with your baby OP

Miyuki is lovely.
