Christmas themed names for a girl

[Scorps]

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

Personally I wouldn't choose another -ie sounding name as would find it too confusing How about a name that means something Christmassy? Like, XXX meaning 'gift'

Josephine

I seem to like ie names...can you tell?

Not keen on Evie TBH, but Eve is sitting ok for a middle name. Seren very good for either, I'm thinking.

Hmm, now I am incredibly nosy intrigued, LilRed.

Eve or Natasha woudl go nicely with your other DCs names.

But not Eve if she arrives on 24th.

How about Rowan as an alternative to Holly/Hollie?

Seren is gorgeous and not too obvious

If you are wanting a christmas-y link, are there any famous folks born on christmas (Other than the obvious) who's name you could use?

I think Einstein was born on Xmas day, wasn't he? I will google, may be interesting, thanks.

Add my vote to the many others than Seren sounds a beautiful and unusual name, appropriate but not corny.

Can someone pronounce Seren for me please, I've not heard it before.

say serr (as in sarah) and ren (as in the bird wren)

in welsh, the r is sort of rolled iykwim?

Thank you!

My dd is holly born Xmas eve, we chose her name because we love it and not just because she was a Xmas baby. I can honestly say no one on hearing her name has asked whether she was a Xmas baby. I think its a name people choose all year round,and we found it to be perfect for her.go with a name you love.

Gabrielle/Gabriella shortened to Gabby would suit other DC names.

I also know someone with the middle name Tinsel!

Rosie Webster was born on Christmas Day!!! hahahaha

I know someone born on Christmas Day called Gabriella, not sure she's overly keen on it tho!

I absolutely adore Noëlle and desperately wanted it for our baby girl but DH said "I'm not having any child of mine called Christmas"

So that was that

This is interesting. Ds2 was due December 15th and not a single mother-to-be on my antenatal thread considered a Christmas name

Have been reading a book called 'The Great Lover' (about Rupert Brook) and there is a (female) character in it called Noel, without any 'le' on the end. IMO it's a really lovely name for a girl. It must be an early 20th century name as Noel Streatfield (writer) was born around that time.

But agree that Seren is a brilliant name.

I love Seren.

Jabberwocky, DS2 was born on the 12th last year and non of us considered Xmas names. But I do know someone in rl that had her DD on the 24th and called her Eve just because she was born on Xmas Eve.

Robin?

Gabriel?

As you have a Welsh connection how about Celyn (pr. Kellin) which is Welsh for Holly and not quite as obvious?
