Winter Ivey Sage H for a boy.

What do you think?

Open to suggestions that include Winter, but also fit the WISH theme.

The initials are really cool imo :)

Hang on...you're looking for names beginning with specific letters just so you can make a cutesy cringeworthy acronym out of them? Hmm
This is genuinely the way that my DD named her Guinea Pig. She's 10, by the way. You're naming a human child and are presumably an adult.

For the sake of your poor child, don't make childish decisions when choosing the name which has to last them a lifetime.

How about Winter Idris Storm if you like names that are a bit different but a little more masculine? I have heard of Winter as a boys name, but Ivy and Sage seem a bit more girly to me.

Buddyelf · 28/06/2018 13:59

a pp mentioned a relative called William Wynter. What about something like that? William is a really lovely name and having the middle Winter/Wynter gives you the opportunity to use it as a nn.

Winter is awful, even worse if it's a Feb-October birthday,
Ivey - looks like you can't spell Ivy
Sage - not too bad
H...

Agree with pp, Winston is a good name.

How about Winston Arthur Sage

It's usually Lesley for females, Leslie for males

I actually don't mind Winter, I think it's suitably unusual that it can be a unisex name.

Definitely not Ivey or Sage though. Winter with two masculine middle names would be fine.

It's like word association!

Winter for a girl is nice, Ivy is a girls name. Please don’t set your child up for a lifetime of ridicule. He’s not a rabbit.

Winter Isaac Scott?

KitchenFloor · 28/06/2018 18:15

Definitely not Ivey

TempleOfBlooms · 28/06/2018 20:47

My friend had a son called Winter. I like it.

Agree with others that Ivey is too feminine.

SoupDragon · 28/06/2018 20:53

Why would you give a boy names that are usually female?

AuntieStella · 28/06/2018 21:03

I wouid assume Winter was a boy, because that's what it was in Victorian times and I've only really come across it in that context and via genealogy.

I wouid go for: Winter Ignatius Sebastian or Winter Ivan Saul

FawnDrench · 29/06/2018 15:03

Ignatius Sophocles
Israel Spencer

FizzyGreenWater · 29/06/2018 16:34

It doesn't matter anyway. You'll realise just how pointless all the middle name angst is in a few years.

But, first name. Winter is very much a girls name so no, and a double no combined with Ivy (which is just what it will sound like if the poor muffin ever had to say it out loud).

What on earth is Ivey?

Twillow · 29/06/2018 17:04

Winter igloo snow house 😂
Sorry op I couldn’t help myself.
😂😂😂

Wynter works. The others are girls names, noooo question.

EmmaC78 · 29/06/2018 17:08

If you are insisting on winter then I agree that you deinately need two less feminine middle names. Perhaps Isaac Samuel.

FizzyGreenWater · 29/06/2018 19:11

Wyn-Ta?

BlatantlyPlacemarking · 29/06/2018 19:15

Wyn’ta IV-Sage?

Your naming a person, not a hamster.

OlumOrange · 29/06/2018 19:29

Genuine curiosity but why WISH?

MariaMadita · 29/06/2018 19:36

Olum

Probably because the surname start with an H? If it started with a T they might have wanted... GIFT. With a J Joy etc.
