While the holiday season may be over, it’s still the season of snow and cuddly sweaters. There are so many non-holiday related wintry baby names that would be lovely for a New Year’s baby. Here are a few of my favorites…

Neve

Meaning “Snow” and having a Latin origin, this name, pronounced to rhyme with “leave”, is feminine and unique.

Nameberry

Aster

Meaning: “star” and of Greek origin, the Aster flower has been considered enchanted and in ancient times it was thought that it could drive away evil (like Sage). In modern times, it’s considered a sign of love and patience.

Nameberry

Paloma

Meaning “dove” from spanish origin and used typically in Italy, Spain and Hungry it is a unique and delicate name with peaceful connotations.

Paxton

Meaning “peaceful” and of Latin origin, Paxton is a striking name (probably because of it’s central X) with peaceful connotations and a great option for a cute nickname: Pax.

Primrose

Meaning: “first rose”, this name may sound familiar if you’re a fan of the Hunger Game’s series as it is the name of one of the characters, this name is found a lot in Brittish writing but is still “catching fire” in the US (Get it?)

Freesia

Meaning: the exotic flower, it is a great name choice for parents who love floral names but want something more unique

Nameberry

January

Quite a pretty little girl’s name, the name comes from the —- god of new beginnings, Janus. (It’s also the name of a popular and lovely actress, January Jones)

Nameberry

Thaddeus

Meaning “gift of god”, Thaddeus is a strong name, to be sure, but it might just be the perfect one for your little man. With a vintage feel and cool options for nicknames like Thad, Tad, or Thade.

Nameberry

Whittaker

Meaning “white field” and of English origin this name is cool in it’s full glory or shortened to “whit.”

Nameberry

Gwen

Meaning “blessed” or more holiday specific, “White” is of Welsh origin. Although it’s commonly a nickname (for longer names like Guinevere) it’s pretty all on it’s own and has become much more common thanks to stars like Gwen Stefani.

Nameberry

Belle

While it’s of French origin, it’s become a well loved name in English cultures too. Meaning “beautiful” it is also pretty as the shortened version of elegant names like Anabella or Isabella. It was one of the Top 100 most popular baby names in the 1880′s, you know, if you like vintage things.

Nameberry

Nora

Meaning “light”, Nora is a name making its way back up the charts in its highest rank of popularity since the early 1900′s. Perhaps that is due to quirky and cool charm thanks to movies like Nick & Nora’s Infinite Playlist and musical artist Norah Jones.

Finn

Meaning “fair” and of Irish origin, Finn is a name with quirk, energy, and charm, this name comes from Irish mythology where Finn MacCool was a warrior with mystical powers of wisdom and generosity.
