A middle name for Winter

Hi all,

Looking for some inspiration for a middle name to go with Winter - we don't know what we are having (due on Wednesday) but would be using this name for a little girl.

Want to avoid any flower names (Rose, Violet, Jasmine, Ivy etc.) as think it makes it sound too much like a plant. Also don't want Grace - over done and also a bit twee with Winter.

I quite like:

Winter Eden
Winter Esme
Winter Isla

Not set on any of them though!

Not looking for opinions on the name please - know it's not everyone's cup of tea and that's OK!!

Thanks in advance all!

I think on its own like PPs suggested. My fave that's been mentioned is Winter Wren.

I like Winter Ofourdiscontent.

I wonder what proportion of these name threads on MN are actually real?

Winter Rae is lovely .

IrishPeaches · 10/02/2020 20:19

Thanks so much everyone! Some amazing suggestions and lots to think about. Really love some of them and appreciate you taking the time to share some ideas. Totally get what a couple of PPs said about skipping the middle name - DD1 has a middle name so I suppose in my head I want to give one to this one too.

Also, thanks for all the joke suggestions. You guys are hilarious... Hmm

Not sure what you are talking about @donquixotedelamancha - if you don't like it, you don't need to comment. It's a real name used by people. Not that weird.

Winter Rose!

Slinkymalinky1 · 10/02/2020 22:39

And Winter Evangeline, definitely feel like it needs a long name after it. Don't know why people bother with the sarcy replies,
Winter isn't something I'd choose personally, but can appreciate it as a beautiful name that I just wouldn't choose. Life would be very boring if we all chose Jane and Catherine 🤷‍♀️

Bunnyfuller · 10/02/2020 22:40

Winter is coming?

IrishPeaches · 10/02/2020 22:40

Thank you @Emthebaker Thanks

I think Winter Elizabeth is a strong contender now. Never thought of it before. I really like how it sounds and it grounds the name of you get my drift. The surname is two syllables and begins with a P and that flows quite nicely with it!

There's so many lovely suggestions here. Decisions decisions!

I will definitely come back and let you know. Hopefully won't be too much longer. If it's a boy then will struggle even more Grin

I would avoid any that sounds like a description so no Winter Eve or Winter Hope or Winter Joy etc.
Other than that, do you have any ideas. Maybe put them into nymbler and see if there's anything else you like.

Astronica · 10/02/2020 22:41

Winter is a lovely name!
Winter Carys
Winter Jessamy
Winter Thomasin
Winter Jemima

I like all GordonBennett20's suggestions
Winter Alexandra is lovely.

IrishPeaches · 10/02/2020 22:43

Exactly @Slinkymalinky1 not every name can be liked by everyone! It won't be to everyone's taste and that's absolutely fine.
