WISH

[HisGirl2009]

Winter Ivey Sage H for a boy.

What do you think?

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

Reminds me of the cheap shopping app 🙈

I like Winter but would assume a girl
Ivey again I would assume a girl
Sage - I like it with a Sunday dinner

When is your DS due OP?

OP why does it need to spell WISH?

Agree with pps. If you are going to call him Winter I would pick 2 boys names that are not also objects/seasons/months/colours/fruit etc

Winter Isaac Stephen

I don't think the initials matter much, I rarely use mine. If there are other names you like better/family members you would like to honour, I think those would be better middle names.

Winter, Ivey and sage are names I would normally associate with a girl.

I've only heard of one male being called ivy and he was the sort you wouldn't mess with. It sort of suited him 🤷‍♀️

If you specifically want his initials to spell WISH I'm not sure why what about;
William, Walter, Wilbur, Wesley, Weston, Winston,
Ivan, Ian, (struggling with 'I')
Samuel, Shane, Sebastian, Solomon, storm,
Then your surname..

You could probably get away with one of those names, but all 3 together is very feminine IMO.

It sounds like you wanted a girl. I know a boy called Willow, poor kid, because his parents wanted a girl. Don't do it.

How interesting to see that posters are rather less keen to have a boy be given “female” names in comparison to the responses to the thread about calling a girl Cooper.

I know 2 Winters, both girls.
I S names:
Ivan Stephen
Ian Samuel
Isaac Sennan

I thought you meant the name was “Wish”. That’s adorable!

Poor boy will get bullied for life with a name like that. Don't do it!

I like the name Winter. I don't see that it is attached to a season at all.

I'm less keen on Ivey and Sage. I did like someone else's suggestion of Storm although that would be a lot of weather connotations. I love the name Idris.

Honestly, all that crap about a child being bullied about their name... does that still happen? Maybe by all the posters children who have made such awful comments?

I also like Winter Idris.

How about
Winter Idris Sterling
Winter Idris Struan
Winter Idris Sholto
Winter Idris Santana
Winter Idris St John
Winter Idris Sparrow
Winter Idris Soren
Winter Idris Spiridon

Love Winter for a boy or girl. How about Idris Sebastian H ?

You can tell the name suggestion is a little, let's say, off the wall, when somone thinks these are more reasonable suggestions!

How about
Winter Idris Sterling
Winter Idris Struan
Winter Idris Sholto
Winter Idris Santana
Winter Idris St John
Winter Idris Sparrow
Winter Idris Soren
Winter Idris Spiridon

How interesting to see that posters are rather less keen to have a boy be given “female” names in comparison to the responses to the thread about calling a girl Cooper

It's simple - boys are far more likely to be bullied for being too girly than girls are for being too boyish.

I'm all for tackling that phenomenon and bringing down the gender norms that harm boys perhaps even more than girls, but I wouldn't do that through my child's name. They're an individual in their own right, not a chance for me to express my wokeness.

How interesting to see that posters are rather less keen to have a boy be given “female” names in comparison to the responses to the thread about calling a girl Cooper.

Cooper for a girl is equally awful IMO. Although I don’t even like it for a boy. These stupid American trends should go back to America and stay there.

OP hasn’t said when she is actually due.

I wonder if “Winter” is going to be born in high summer?

What? No, if anything a girl called Cooper is an even more appalling prospect.

I like the name Winter. I don't see that it is attached to a season at all

Not attached to a Season? It is a season!

It's also a surname though.

Some words belong in more than one category.

Fwiw Twillow, I know boys and men who bear all the S names I posted with the exception of Sparrow, as first names. And I think it is clear that the OP was open to unusual names. Why mock that?

How about Wystan (WH Auden). Then you could call him Wish for short.

Seriously, give him at least one name that’s isn’t a. A noun and b. A girl’s name so he doesn’t have to go through the hassle of deed poll when he wants to get rid of the ridiculous name when he’s older.

OP the responses here are a clear insight into how everyone/general public will react to your son’s name if you go with those names... if you’re cool with that then OK! (But I’m assuming not as otherwise why ask what we think?)

if you’re cool with that then OK!

It isn’t her who has to be cool with it, it’s her son.
