UK mums advice needed on odd name!

[GemmaWild14]

So me and my partner are due to have a baby in April, it's our first together but we both have 2 children each from previous relationships. He has a girl and boy named Hollie and Charlie, I have two boys name Logan and Leo.
We have both come up with the name "Winter" for our expected baby boy, my partner and I love it, however i am so worried it's too "out there" i like names a little different but not bizarre and I feel this name is just bizarre, im worried what people would think especially family members and I dont want to set this child up with a ridiculous name that will have any sort of effect on his life, I really would appriciate unbiased opinions of this name please from uk mums, thankyou x

Think about your child. Will they be happy when they are a teenager with this name, when all of them mostly just want to fit in.

Awful. Even if born in winter. Daft if born in spring.

My mum has a seasonal name and wasn't born in the season of her name. She was named after someone in her family but gets completely sick of having to explain her name and the story behind it.

It's not out there but Its a girl's name.

It's not out there but it seems like a girl's name and I wouldn't choose it for a boy.

Me and my sister were just discussing this name today!! But we spelt it 'Wynter ' I love it for a boy, my sister thinks it's more for a girl. Amazing name

If your surname is the same as your username i.e. Wild, then definitely not.

No

I don’t dislike it although I wouldn’t use it. I see it as a girls name and all your other children have regular names, why be so different for this one?

Lovely for a girl born in December.

Agree with PPs Winston, Hunter.
Aspen? Jasper?

Another no. Especially with an April birth!

Give him a normal name like all his siblings.

It’s usually a girls name, and it doesn’t go with your 4 children’s names at all, so I wouldn’t.

Winter is traditionally a boy's name (as those who dive back into their family trees and find a rich vein of Victoriana will know)

But I do think it's odd on an April born boy. Though there have been plenty of posts on other threads saying that girls do not need to be born in April to be called April/Avril, so perhaps that doesn't matter.

I really like Winter, but only for a girl. It’s not a name I would have the nerve to use for my own kids but I do really like it.

I would think it was cute if I had met a child with that name, but slightly odd if I knew they were born in April.

Not a good choice.

Back to the name book, please.

It's an ok name but imo not for a boy born in April. And it doesn't go with your other kid's names also only my opinion and names dont have to go.

I quite like it but only for a girl born in winter.

I like it but definitely think of it for a girl rather than a boy.

I know a little boy called Winter, never occurred to me it was a girl's name. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I prefer it for a boy than a girl personally, but I know it’s used more for girls.

I think Winter sounds stronger and less light and airy to me than either Autumn or Summer so definitely think it would suit a boy more. It wouldn’t put me off using it if the birth month was in a different season.

Winter is definitely a girls name. I'd say yes for a girl no for a boy..

It’s a lovely name, for a girl.

I actually know two Winters. Both girls.

I know someone called October, it has never occurred to me to think she should have to be born then to warrant the name( it did make me think of the U2 album though)

I absolutely love it
