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?

Neither. Awful.

I think Winter could be mistaken for the surname. I dismissed Lumi because it is linked to gadgets or Harry Potter Luminosa! luminious - light. I would have loved Lumilla which is a form of Ludmila but my partner didn't like it. Lumilla with a nickname Milla / Mila?

I actually like both! I think I see Winter as more masculine but can totally imagine it would work on a girl and like Winn too.

I’m due end of November and on the off chance it snows I’d use Neve in the middle I think.

Clementine?

@ElizaSkye never had I considered Clementine as a Christmassy wintry name but you are right!

I’m so sorry op, but lumi is a self cleaning toilet brush, or a lumie alarm clock or shortening for lumi spa Or like a Phillips lumea I love the name wynter or winter tho

Lumi= SAD alarm clock.

I love Lumi. I also love the fact so many people don’t like it on here. Makes it far more interesting! Everyone will associate it with her name.

Winter! Gorgeous name

Christ alive, they are both AWFUL

Christ-alive does fit with the christmassy theme although it's a little on the nose.

I do know a winter baby called Neiva which is snow in Spanish, I believe? I always thought Natalia was pretty.

Lumi is not nice.

I think Winter is too on the nose, and I really want to like Lumi as it's very pretty but unfortunately I can only think of my alarm clock.

If pushed I'd go for Lumi, though.

Lumi is what influencers call their overpriced pedigree cats.

Winter is ok I suppose.

Smilla's sense of snow -> Smilla

Taiga
Eira or Eirwen as mentioned before or Eirlys
Snowdrop
Alba
Krista
Kirsi (means both Christian and frost in Finnish)
Frost
Ice

No-Lee??? I have never heard this pronunciation. It's usually No-Ell.

I like Winter and Lumi! All the comments here suggest Lumi wouldn't work well. Winter is pretty.

I prefer Winter.
I like Lumi though it does have an unpleasant meaning in Spanish, if that matters to you. I also think it's a bit random to give a British child a Finnish name if you aren't Finnish... But most people aren't aware of name origins and probably won't care.

I'm not sure either to be honest..

Lumi was the name of a light company, if you Google it now lots of companies have it and an app..

Winter is just very dark and heavy and wordy..

I think Winter is such a beautiful name. Makes me think of snow.

I'm not keen on Lumi but it's probably because I watch a Youtuber whose cat is called Lumi.

Wynter

All I can think of is 'Winter is coming' .....sorry

I like Winter and Midwinter.
I think that Lumi doesn’t work well in an English speaking country. It’s too like Loony.

Noele is not going to be pronounced No lee.
Noelle is nice

Lumi is lovely and the name of the mother in A Boy Called Christmas

What about Eira? The Welsh word for snow is used for a girl's name. Pronounced Ā-rah

Equally awful.

Not keen on either

Prefer
Holly
Fritha (snow goose)
Freya (ice Queen)
Jasmine (as in winter flowering)

Lumi in Finland is not pronounced the way you think it is, and Brits will definitely not pronounce it correctly.
