Not all Welsh folk pronounce it the same way though.
Mother-tongue Welsh speakers would not say it Eye-ra, because it's a phonetic language.
It's like saying snow rhymes with know. It doesn't and it's insulting or ignorant to say it does.

But snow does rhyme with know 😵‍💫😵‍💫

@AllHisCaterpillarFriends , the regional accents vary in Welsh but there's a
standard pronunciation.

It doesn't compare to scone because both pronunciations are correct, and because Welsh is phonetic.
If eira was pronounced 'eye-ra' it would be written as aira.

Neve is snow is Italian (pron. neh-veh). But Neve (N-eve) would work well in English.

I always liked Holly and Ivy for wintery names

Anxioustealady · 19/11/2024 17:22

From my head -
Whitney? Don't know what it means but it's almost like "white"
Ivory

From google -
Janus (male)/Janara (female) - God/goddess of snow in Roman Myths
Zane - white as snow
Cypress - winter tree
Noelle
Robin
Crystal/Christina

Ember (kind of opposite what you asked but I think that's a nice idea for a baby born in winter, cosy)
