Winter ?

[kaylanelson]

Found out that my baby is going to be a beautiful little girl💖 had my mind set on a name and now all of a sudden my mind has changed and I absolutely love WINTER with the middle name either Violet or Blossom (both have family history so please no nasty comments about the middle names) I love it but I don't know how other people will react , opinions please xxxx

Winter coat.

I know a little girl called Winter nn Winnie. Suits her perfectly. Go for it-people will always have an opinion but it’s yours that matters!

Winter? Reminds me of Mrs De Winter from. "Rebecca". Why don't you call her Rebecca? Or even Manderley? Winter is just bleak and dreary.

Nothing wrong with Winter, I have a Summer myself. And I think the middle names are lovely in their own right, I think though paired with winter they become a little jools Oliver esque! A bit hippyish

As I was searching for names I came across the spelling 'wynter' which I really liked but I felt like people would always be pronouncing it 'why-n-ter' ... or do you all prefer this spelling?

@Cbeebiesrehab thank you so much !

I like it.

Summer is pretty common around here so why not?

I love it!! but would not be brave enough to use it

I love the name Winter, makes me think of beautiful frosty days and cosy fireplaces.
If you love a name it’s best not to ask for opinions really as everyone will think differently.

Don't be daft. It's not a name.

I like Winter with both middle names. I wouldn’t choose it for my own kid but I think it’s a really nice name. I don’t like the spelling with the y though. Winter can be beautiful and poetic - so your child can own it!

I think its a lovely name, think i prefer the spelling wynter...but both are nice!

Sorry, I think it's awful. She's going to have to grow up and be taken seriously at some point.

Having said that, I don't mind Summer and Autumn so maybe if Winter was used more and became more popular I wouldn't mind it.

I don't like Winter as a first name. As well as a season it's a surname to me.

I like Violet as a middle name very much. I'm not going to comment on the other suggested middle name, which probably tells you what I think of it.

I used to teach a little girl to swim called Winter Rose. It is a pretty name that once you associate with a child doesn't seem an odd name choice. Although when I met her again at 18 she was going by Rosie.

Please don't give her a unique spelling. If you like Winter then use that spelling.

I don't mind Winter on it's own but Winter Blossom sounds like a character from My Little Pony. Winter Violet is marginally better. As you're dead set on one of those as middle names then I would consider a more traditional first name.

I think it's lovely OP!

I wouldn't worry what most people on here say, if you've read other threads most mumsnetters only like names in the top 10 or suggestions like Gary & Wendy 😂😂

I like Winter, most importantly if you like it then that's all that matters!

I love it.
Winter Blossom or Winter Violet are lovely.
I think either would work well.

Winter Violet is beautiful - love it

Don't like it at all. I have a friend named Violet but she hates it. Winter is too Game of Thrones - in my opinion (which you are of course allowed to disagree with) it just isn't a name. Blossom... hmm...

I want to call my DC Cassius or Valentina. Couldn't care less what people think so I'm not asking!

I like Winter, and it's not my style of name at all. I think it's nicer than both Summer and Autumn, and I'm not sure why. I don't like Winnie, though. I see what people mean by Winter Violet or Winter Blossom seeming like paint colours or a little twee, but they're middle names - it doesn't really matter. She/you might get a lot of "winter is coming" comments, though.

Winter and Violet are good names but not together imo as it sounds like paint or a candle fragrance name. (Blossom makes me think of cows- sorry!)

Winter is coming...

I like Winter, it's floating around on our list but I don't think we'll be brave enough to actually use it. It came about as I suggested Winnifred but DH doesn't like it... We'd use Winnie as a short form too. I'd 100% use it as a middle name but we use Irish origin middle names. I do agree that it's probably not the best match with Violet or Blossom despite liking it - especially the sound of Winter Violet.

I don't think many peers of a Winter born now will know the Game of Thrones reference especially as t's ending next year. Adults will but would an adult openly make fun of a child's name to their face/in front of their parents?
