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

Emma?

I think you would be extremely unreasonable if you call the baby anything but Beast.

Can't believe someone suggested Frostie

I think it's gr-r-r-r-eat!!

Candida means white and is a lovely name.

(It is also the name of the yeast that causes thrush as my DD reminds me from time to time)

neveradullmoment99 · 02/03/2018 20:53

Bianca = white in Italian

Belle (snowbell)
Heidi and Silke make me think of snowy mountainous regions...

snowgirl1 · 02/03/2018 21:28

Nieve - Spanish for snow.

narnia :)

Was just about to suggest Lucy. It's tenuous but she was the little girl in Narnia...

The latin name for a Snowdrop is Galanthus Nivalis (milkflower of the snow). Nivalis is the bit that means 'of the snow'. Would Niva work? (pron Neeva)

Aurora (as in Aurora Borealis, Northern Lights)?

to be fair though, the ei- in eirlys, eira etc is pronounced differently by fluent welsh speakers from various regions. I'm a welsh speaker, my child is called Eiry. she goes to a welsh school. most of us (her family) pronounce it as Eye-ree or thereabouts, some of her teachers do too, others (including me) say it more like Ay-ree as do various other teachers. its a regional accent thing.

TheOriginalEmu · 03/03/2018 00:23

AND she was born in August. so, sue me. there are no laws you can't name a child a name from a different season!

ChampagneSocialist1 · 03/03/2018 09:07

I like Winter or Snow as a middle name to mark the occasion but doesn't sound mad so for example:
Jane Winter Smith
Rachel Snow Evans

How about Lara? (Dr Zhivago)

I also think Emma would be lovely.

Glowerglass · 03/03/2018 10:36

Neva - frost in Spanish, I'm told

FeedtheTree · 03/03/2018 11:30

@PyjamaLlama - oh that's the best suggestion. Great name and very frosty film.

BitOfFun · 03/03/2018 12:41

Ooh yes, Lara is a beautiful name!

Wdigin2this · 03/03/2018 12:53

Eira is snow, or Eirwen which means Snowhite.

MikeUniformMike · 03/03/2018 12:56

TheOriginalEmu, it's not a regional accent thing. The 'Ay' sound doesn't occur in Welsh.
Who on earth would want their child to be called Airy however it was spelt?

MikeUniformMike · 03/03/2018 12:58

I know a RL Gwenhwyfar. Gaynor/Gaenor is more popular and is a form of Guinevere.

ProperLavs · 03/03/2018 17:52

mike are you MN residential welsh language expert whose knowledge surpasses all others?

DullAndOld · 03/03/2018 17:54

yes Mike is the resident Welsh language expert...(also known as a 'Welsh speaker')

ProperLavs · 03/03/2018 17:57

Ah Ok, I am properlavs I am fluent and native speaker of the english language. I am an expert in my language. I have spoken it all my life and I know better then all you other native english speakers out there. Come to me if you are not sure about how to pronounce things and I will put you right.

DullAndOld · 03/03/2018 18:01

Grin @ properlavs - that is different.

Honestly the average English person cannot even say ' Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch ' properly!
