Little but in love with the name 'Winter' for a girl but think I'll get some stick for it. Thoughts?

It's ok. I like Winnie.

I don't think it's 'out there', I quite like it.

It’s a great name love it

There was a thread on this name recently on here and many people said they loved it even when they don’t normally like unusual names

I like it, and I usually cringe at "out there" names.

drigon · 05/11/2019 13:28

Like it. Are you a Taboo fan?! There was a girl called Winter on that.

She may have to deal with predictable wisecracks from Game Of Thrones fans whenever she enters a room: "Winter is coming"...

Seriously, though, I like it as a name.
Prefer it to Summer.
Autumn also nice.

Too popular to be 'out there'; I've met 5 locally (North West)in the past year and know of 3 in Chiswick alone! All born in the last 12 months.

Makes me think of beautiful snowy landscapes, which is rather lovely.

Littlebittasunshine · 05/11/2019 13:41

@Kit30 oh wow I've never heard of it used where I am. I'm in the south west and anything untraditional is frowned upon in my little town

I love it

CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook · 05/11/2019 13:54

Love it. Definitely go for it!

But I agree it's not that 'out there.' I think if you suggested 'Spring' then that would be really pushing the barSmile

She could have "Winter" by Tori Amos as her special song.
Wonderful!
(If poignant).

Hanab · 05/11/2019 14:01

Its beautiful 🌷

Kit30 · 05/11/2019 14:08

If you love it, use it Littlebitta. Even if you meet one (or more) children with the same name, they're still individuals and she's still uniquely yours, so does it matter what other people think?

Iwantacookie · 05/11/2019 14:13

I know 2 Winter's its beautiful

SingingSands · 05/11/2019 14:14

Ooh I like it! Does it go with your surname?

Reminds me of a lovely girl at school who was a couple of years older than me, called... January!

NoNameNoGame · 05/11/2019 14:15

I have a niece with the same name but spelt: Wynter.

Paraballa · 05/11/2019 14:23

I don't think of it as a name and would silently judge you if I met you but I doubt you care what I think.

diddlediddle · 05/11/2019 14:24

I can get on board with it. Definitely don't spell it Wynter.

January on the other hand is fabulous!

PsychosonicCindy · 05/11/2019 14:27

Winter is a beautiful name. I wish I could have used it for dd3 born in January but my surname doesn't go with it sadly

ChelseaCat · 05/11/2019 14:37

Winter is actually quite pretty but agree with PPs, don’t use Wynter

YellowsunriseClara · 05/11/2019 14:37

Love it, you should go for it

Shadow1234 · 05/11/2019 23:24

Love it!

Jossina · 05/11/2019 23:57

I don't think it's too out there at all. It's just inventive enough. But go with the normal spelling.

Littlepond · 06/11/2019 00:00

I love it! What a brilliant name
