45 winter baby names for boys and girls

Parents welcoming children December through March might be interested in baby names that reflect the season.

There are many reasons to choose a winter-inspired name: Maybe you have a soft spot for Christmas or Valentine’s Day or you'd like to commemorate a special memory that took place in the cooler months.

In that case, consider girl names like December, Ember and Neve, or boy names like Blaze, Wolf and Colden.

Famous personalities with wintery names and nicknames include January Jones, Ice T, Vanilla Ice, LL Cool J, Ariel Winter, Holly Madison, Neve Campbell and Robin Williams.

Celebrities who chose winter-inspired names for their children include:

North (the daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West), Stormi and Aire (the daughter and son of Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott), Bear Blaze (the son of Kate Winslet and Ned Rocknroll), Jagger Snow (the daughter of Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross), Winter Mercy (the son of Alanis Morissette and Mario “Souleye” Treadway) and Lyra Antarctica (the daughter of Ed Sheeran and Cherry Seaborn).

According to Laura Wattenberg, the creator of Namerology, it's all about style — not season.

“Once upon a time, a April was most likely to be born in April and Natalie in December,” she tells TODAY.com. The name Natalie is French with Latin beginnings and means "birthday of the Lord" so it's associated with Christmas, according to Nameberry. Is it strange to mention Nameberry so close to Wattenberg's quote? I couldn't find an explanation on Wattenberg's site but I can reach out to her, if needed.

“The calendar simply isn’t a significant factor in 21st century baby naming," she adds.
