Lumi vs Winter for our December baby girl??

[Samzzz]

Lumi is Finnish for Snow and is pronounced Loo-mee. Have always had a soft spot for Winter but I know it's not everyone's taste.

What would you choose out of the two?

I love Lumi, but when I asked DH if he liked it he said "I like halloumi"

I also like Winter, but worry it's a bit trendy. For all the hate it gets in here, it's rising sharply along with many other Win- names. Also not keen on Winnie as a nickname.

I have a Lumi(e) alarm clock. Is it used as a name in Finland? It doesn’t really sound like a name to me.

I don’t like Winter either. Go for something a bit more subtle. What if she is a winter hater!

PP’s suggestions of Natalia(/Natasha) and Noelle are nice.

Both awful

Lumi = tech device / brand name

Winter. Love it. Winnie for short.

I really like Winter

I like Lumi, I think it’s really spunky and fun. I never used to like the name Winter until I heard it on a little girl in the zoo and I was spellbound, it was so beautiful and suited her so well.

Either name would be an excellent pick!!

Lungi? That's unusual.
Yes, its Finnish for snow
Oh are you Finnish then?
No.

Repeat with every person she meets for 50 years.

Lumi not Lungi (whatever that is)

Lumie is a brand of SAD lamps.

Huh? No-Lee? You mean No-elle surely?

I pondered Lumin at one point.

Think Lumi is cute and like the meaning behind it.

Winter is pretty but a bit overdone IMO

Christ alive, they are both AWFUL

Winter is nice

Both of them are awful. Glumi and bleak midWinter

I really like Lumen but no one else will 😃

I speak a little Finnish but I wouldn't use either. Lumi sounds like a mobile 'phone, Winter just silly.

I like them.
what about Eira (I think it means snow on Welsh, I’m sure someone cleverer can correct me )

I like Aster or Wren or Robyn

You could consider Jan(uary) or North

My friend has a Lumi :)

Eira is indeed the Welsh word for snow, and is used as a girl's name.
It's also a norwegian name.

The pronunciation is not the same for them.

They don't mean the same either.

What about something meaning Light, like Lucia, Lucy, Nora and so on? Lumi is lovely too.

I love them both! When some people think of winter they think of a cold and miserable scene. I don't, I think of crisp snow crunching underfoot and being the first to walk in it. I think of cosy scarves and hats, of hot chocolate, open fires, rosy red cheeks and Christmas. Lumi is very cute too but maybe a bit too cute for an adult?

DD2 middle name is Wynter - she really suits the quirky twist.
I like lumi in theory, but others comments have put me off a bit.

I prefer Winter. I’ve looked after a few children named this and it’s very wearable in my opinion, compared with Lumi.

I love Winter.
