Girls names for a December baby

[RoseApp]

Still struggling for ideas for a December baby. Suggestions other than Noelle?

If my January born dd had come in December I was planning to call her
Gloria

& Brenda

I was going to suggest Gloria.

I really like Natalia/Natasha, Estelle and Stella. Christmassy without being overly so.
Joy's an obvious one that's not been mentioned, unless I missed it.

Winter- rather than Christmas-themed, maybe Laura (laurel being evergreen).

Wish Solstice was a name, it's such a pretty word

I do have to say the suggestion of Lametta wins the thread.

Solstice is used, rarely, as a girl's name.
Lionel Shriver used it in one of her novels.

Solstice
Decca
Nieve

Yuley.... like Julie.
Adventa
I/Emma/nuel
Myrrhy
Ginger
Pepper
Birdie
Elva
Eve
Holliday
Angel
Figgy

And my personal favourite Tannenbaum.

Any Irish connection? Nollaig (null-ig, more or less rhymes with twig) is an Irish girls name and also the word for Christmas.

Sprout
Satsuma
Santa
Nemo (from the Latin)

Oh gosh please don't give her a seasonal name. I'm a very early January baby and it already feels like your 'big day' isn't so big, it's just swallowed up by general Christmas and NY stuff. A name like Holly or Noelle would have been a permanent 'Christmas paper on a birthday present' feeling.

Santa or Elf

I'm another one saying don't give a seasonal name. A birthday close to Christmas is not great.

Why Nicola? lol that's my name and I was born in December in the 80s but I don't think it's a December name specifically is it? Bit surprised to see my name on here I thought that nobody calls their kid Nicola anymore lol is it making a comeback

@Ihopeithinkiknow good old saint nic.

How about Holly, Ivy, or Eve? If they are all festive, but not overly Christmassy and that they all feel festive, but timeless, then that’s something.

Good luck naming it.

As a December ex-baby, why do this? Christmas already overshadows everything. Let them have an identity separate from commercialised madness.

Curious why people think Ciara and Niamh are in any way related to December/Christmas?

Eve (biblical and ties into Xmas)
Merryn (tied in with being merry , I also love this name)
Joy
Felicity (happiness is the meaning behind it apparently)
Angelina
Noelle (or be different and try Noella?)
Faith
Cady (associated with present - French)
Berry
Mary
Josephine
Lucia
Angel
Alegria (Latin - Christmas connotation)
Avery (medieval British meaning the ruler of elves)
Belle
Chiara (Italian - pronounced Key-ar-ah, meaning Christmas lights)
Cindy (from the grinch)
Darina (Slavic, meaning gift)
Eira (Welsh - pronounced A-rah, means snow)
Gabrielle
Grace
Jolee
Merri
Nara (Celtic for happy)
Nessa (Hebrew, meaning miracle)
Nora (Hebrew, meaning light)
Oriane (Hebrew - pronounced Ori-Ann, is one of the gifts brought for Jesus by the 3 wise men)
Ruby
Scarlett
Zia (Arabic, meaning the birth of a girl in the season of the lights)

Hollie
Marley (or, Marleigh to feminise 😃)
Elsie - for Elsa vibes
Robyn
Sylvia (silver bells)
Donna (and Blitzen, maybe not 🤣)

Diamond/Diamonte (twinkly snow)

Julia is a subtle one. Jul means Christmas in Swedish.

You shouldn't choose your baby's name because of the month it's born in, you should choose it because you like it.

As someone who is a december baby, please don't give your baby a Christmas name

Xmas DD is Ella, short for Emmanuella.

Please from someone who was born on December 25th, avoid Christmas themed names. It's twee and shows complete lack of imagination. Luckily my parents gave me a name with no link to Christmas. If they had I'd have changed it the minute I turned 18.

Tinsel or Tinsella

I think something wintery rather than full on Christmas is nicer - like

Joy
Hope
Ivy
Holly
Caroline
Winter
Rose (as in Christmas rose)
Rosemary
Viola (means winter flower)
Scarlet
Natalie/Natalia
Clementine
Eve
Clara (from the Nutcracker)

DD was almost Gabriella - not born near Xmas though! But Angel Gabriel.

Or Goldie (lot of gold at Xmas!)

Or Angel??
