Dd2 is due January and agreeing on a name has become difficult! Dh has vetoed all my suggestions and these are the only two names left.
One is an absolute love of mine and the other is dh’s favourite. What would you go for?

@nannybeach

Neither, you're right Ivy IVI (ex nurse) winter is a season. Would you call someone Spring
Summer and Autumn are both popular names...

Both nice, prefer Ivy

Thanks again everyone!
I’ve managed to convince dh of my way of thinking and she will be a Winter. Winnie as a nickname. Although he did make comments regarding whether I wanted to put Paddington in there as a middle name too... HmmGrin

Both gorgeous names whichever one you pick will be fab.
I personally would do: Winter Ivy as it sounds a bit silly to me.
One or the other.
Good luck

Wouldn’t do* winter Ivy

Winter definitely, it's striking, has an air of drama. Ivy on the hand is cute.

How about Winter Jasmine?

Ooo Winter Jasmine is beautiful @WhoppingBigBackside

WhoppingBigBackside · 10/12/2021 18:01

It has its charm @BlueFlavour, Lenten Rose is also pretty

Ivy. I just struggle to see a child hot and tantrumming or having a lovely time on a beach being called Winter.

Reminds me of the devil child we came across at mini golf called Blossom ‘Blossom! No stop it Blossom! No don’t hit the statue darling Blossom!’ Etc
