Winter as a first name for a girl. What are your thoughts?

Also, do you think as the season spelling 'Winter' or with a y 'Wynter'?

I think it’s lovely. I know a Winter.

I really don’t like it when it’s paired with Rose and hyphenated. Awful.

Eira is snow in Welsh if you like cold theme names.

That's beautiful.

All I can think of is 'Winter is coming - but when she grows up it probably won't be an issue. Definitely not Wynter though.

Looks like an unpopular opinion but I love it. Winter is also my favourite season, it’s Christmas and is always such a happy time for me. When are you due? Smile

Beautiful.... but please spell it with an i!

I love the name Winter. It’s my favourite season too.

DD had a (male) friend called Winter. Unfortunately his surname was an item of clothing (think along the lines of Winter Coate) which caused much hilarity amongst his class mates.

Winter is a beautiful name imo - but don't like the Y

Absolutely love it! With an I not y though.

Nicer than Summer which is a bit naff

I love it, Winter is the heroine in one of my favourite books Shadow of the Moon by M M Kaye, who wrote The Far Pavilions

I love that book too. I was going to say that I think that's why I love the name and why I see it as elegant and classy.

I'm on the fence
She needs a much nicer middle name she can use
It's more of a surname and I hate kids being given surnames as first names
