Christmas themed names for a girl

dd2 is due on Xmas day, and DH & I are thinking of using a Christmas themed name as a middle name, or first name if she is born on 24th, 25th or 26th December.

We so far are aware of Hollie, Mary and Star, and that's about it

But surely, Hollie is not an abnormal name?? Agree Star is for a first but who really introduces themselves as XXXX [middle name]?

Seren, Angelica, Eve...

As a middle name it's fine, but not the first one pleeeaaaaaase. Sorry, am overly involved, will back away from the thread.......

I'm with seeker on this - I just don't understand WHY you would want to do it.... Have a niece called Holly all because she was born in Dec...... I just don't get it....

Eve and Natalie are very pretty, and I don't think anyone would make an automatic Christmas association.

And what about Belle, Carol, Gloria...?! Actually, I love Belle, but Carol and Gloria are a bit of a challenge - probably turn out to be desperately cool in the so wrong it's right sense of the word.

I'm sure DH would love Scrooge . I can imagine buying her a personalised National Trust mug inscribed Scrooge

I hear ya, LilRed

Nothing wrong with Mary, Holly, Stella, Estelle, Noëlle, Carol, Robin. All perfectly nice names.

Not Star though.

Why? Because i want to, because we want to. We are very excited about her, and we are enjoying exploring names.

I really like the name Holly. You can use it all year round, as holly is evergreen. i have a holly plant in my garden, it has red berries at the moment.

I really like Seren and Eve so far. Hollie is nice for a first name for a 24, 25, 26 Dec baby? (I prefer ie, not y)

I know someone with the middle name Tinsel!

Gabriella?

Natasha - Russian pet name for Natalie meaning Christ's birthday. I wouldn't hear that name and think of Christmas, but it is linked.

We called our dog Tasha as she was born at Christmas.

Seren is gorgeous.

pigsinmud · 09/10/2009 13:27

Seren sounds lovely btw.

Seren wouldn't 'match' the other dc for a first name though . This baby is dd2 - dc4.

What are your others? Or what kind of names, if you don't want to say.

spiderlight · 09/10/2009 13:30

I was going to suggest Seren too.

I'm back. Yup - my name is Scrooge.

I like Eve and Seren too. Neither are overtly Christmassy and I think both would go with your DC's names.

LilRedWG · 09/10/2009 13:36

In fact Evie would go really well with the others.

I am now broody - thank you Scorps.
