Winter
English word name
December 21st marks the first day of winter, so what better choice for Nameberry of the Day than Winter itself? A unisex name that most certainly works as a December baby name, Winter landed on Nameberry’s list of names all your friends will think are cool—cold, even. A word name popular among celebrities, Winter feels distinctly 21st century but has been in use as far back as the 1600s.
Winter is my dog’s name and it suits her perfectly. Someone actually DM’d me saying they named their daughter Winter and I think Winnie is such a great nickname for it.
