Summer baby named Winter?

So, just that really. I love the name Winter/Wynter (not sure which spelling) with Winnie being a NN. My baby girl is due mid August.

Are all children named April/Autumn/Summer/June born in these months or seasons? Am I setting myself up for "oh was she born in the winter"?

Am I going crazy trying to decide on a name? 😂

Winter is coming

I know a Summer that was born in February. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don't think there is anything wrong with it but you need to decide if you will be bothered by people thinking she is a winter baby. I met a mum of a Summer who was born in October and she was almost apologetic when she told me. I felt sorry for her, seeing her look uncomfortable, since it is a lovely name too. Similarly, people might presume she is named after month of conception.

Don't use the 'Y' spelling. She will forever be the girl with the illiterate mother.

I would definitely assume April, June, Holly, Winter and Summer were born in April, June, December, Winter and Summer but I would just think it was mildly surprising if they weren't, I wouldn't think it was silly.
I’m Holly and not born in December! I know another Holly also not born in December.

Please update what name you chose, congratulations BTW xx

Why not? I know a winter born Summer. And a june born April.

We chose the name Piper in the end! She definitely doesn't look like a "Winter" Smile it was her being born in August that put us off the name

Congratulations OP

I was coming on to say I was at uni with a Summer, her birthday was in November. Her mum gave birth on a wintery, rainy day and wanted a name that didn't reflect that.

I think it's fine.

itsjakeandamy · 22/09/2020 14:42

I love Winter. I don't think it is relevant when she's born. None of the Summers I know (a name I really am less keen on) were born in summer time.

Congratulations @CherryCreme - beautiful name choice and thank you for the update!

Winter is totally fine any time of the year but glad you've found a name you're 100% happy with all the same! Maybe next time you'll have a winter baby xx
