If I was having a girl at Christmas what would I call her?
If I was having a boy at Christmas what would be his name?

I’d pick something completely unrelated to Christmas 😄

AliBaliBears · 04/08/2022 22:09

Noelle or Holly or Ivy
Robin or Noel or Nicholas

(If I wanted Christmas themed names, which I don't think I would)

Jesus

Nothing Christmas themed. Christmas birthdays are shit enough without your name being defined by it all year round too Confused

Christmas Birthdays don't have to be bad at all it is what you make of it. Just toying with the possibility of some names nothing set in stone. Thanks for people's suggestions!

I actually like Christmas as a name for a boy. There was a well respected judge called that . (Mr Justice Christmas Humphries, if I recall correctly.)

My cousin was born on Christmas Day 83 years ago. She was born to my Aunty Mary and Uncle Joe ( honestly) her name isn’t vaguely connected to the season 🙂

Tiffany is a dress worn on the twelfth night.
Holly is also nice

This ^
I think it's a horrible idea, I'd absolutely hate to have a Christmas themed name.

Absolutely everyone I know with a Christmas or even just a December birthday hates it so I think being called Gabriel or third innkeeper would really top it off!
