Opinions on baby girl name

[maym]

Me and my OH are really swaying towards naming our baby girl Winter...

I realise this isn't a lot of people's cup of tea but I just think the name is so pretty and rare... also a reason is that I really liked the name Winnie however my OH felt like it wasn't substantial as her real first name hence why we then thought of Winter with nickname Winnie.

But I wanted to get a feel for what the general opinion on the name is... I feel like names like summer and April and autumn are accepted so I don't see why Winter is any different or is that just me?

TIA

I like it.

I wanted to name our cat Winter just so we could say Winter is coming ... so you might want to prepare yourself for those kind of comments if you do.

Love it 💜

It's a little out there but I actually rather like it, assuming she will be born during winter and not July?

@dreichsky thank you! And yes she is due beginning of January so I thought that was also a sweet reason as she is born in winter...some might say that silly but each to their own I suppose! I wouldn't consider the name had she of been a summer baby haha!

Honestly the more I think about it the more I like it and I know a couple of Autumns in sensible adult jobs so I think it would age fine.

I don’t hate it but it wouldn’t be my choice

I love it! Why not who cares as long as you love it! My baby girl is April but born in March and I loved it from 22weeks pregnant and I thought who cares if no one likes it I love it! So we named her April and ifs a rolling joke was she born in April but my reply is nope called April born in March 😀 x

I think Winter is lovely. I'm not a fan of Winnie though and would feel a good name is spoilt by the nickname.

Love Winnie! Winter is cute too!

Love it

It’s a cool name x

I really like it

I personally love it and its actually not too zany in my opinion. However not if child is born outside of Winter. I know a Summer born in December and I find it a bit weird.

Winifred would be a much better choice, imo. I'm not a huge fan of seasons as names, but I definitely wouldn't choose Winter, the coldest, most miserable season as a name for my child.

"Now is the winter of our discontent..."

Cold, miserable, dark, frosty. Not good associations. Haha @Henty.

I like it!

It’s lovely. I know a Winta, same pronunciation just different spelling.

Love it. Our surname starts with a W and DD1 was a winter baby so I wanted to call her Winter W----

Go for it

I like it and wouldn't consider it hugely 'out there'.

I have a Summer and 95% of the comments I get are about how lovely it is, the other 5% are generally older people making "jokes" about the time of year, having a sibling called Winter or Autumn blah blah blah. Lovely name, go for it, but be prepared for comments from people used to more traditional names!

Love it.

I like it.

Winnie is great.

Lovely name!
