I want to personally wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

Regardless if you celebrate or not, what would you name a child born on Christmas day?
I would love to hear your thoughts!

Girl's Options: Noelle, Christiana, Juliet

Boy's Options: Christian, Nicholas, Toby

 

Merry Holidays!

[Barbie]

Thank you!

I'm curious why Toby is a Christmas name, I get the others... would you mind telling me? I love the name Toby and would love to hear your reasoning! Thanks Bailey <3

Haha, well I felt the need to list 3 names per gender and I was just thinking of Christmas-y things. So Mistletoe came to mind. I wouldn't go Mistle, but I thought the Toe -> Toby kind of made sense at the time.

 

I'm honestly not even sure.

What a clever idea! Very cute

I recently watched a Christmas special and the elf was named Tobias... didn't know if that happened to be a common elf name or not!

My girl ideas are:

Felicity Asha Mae-- means star of hope and happiness
Faith Elina-- means a shining light of hope and trust in God
Hope Skye- means filled with heavenly expectations through faith

Those are some wonderful meanings. I've never heard of Elina, but it's a gorgeous names. What about for boys?

[Barbie]

Boys names are harder for me, so I only thought of two:

Toby Isaiah-- Toby means "God is good", and He certainly is for sending His Son; Isaiah foretold Jesus's birth.
Asa Jack-- Asa was a Jewish king in David's line; Jack is a fun, little reference to Jack Frost

Love it!!

I wouldn't every really change my child's name from what I love just because they were born on a holiday, but it's fun to think about:

 

Harper Galen Frost - Harper makes me think of David's harp and winter in general, not sure why. Galen reminds me of the cold wind, and Frost is a fun tribute to Jack Frost. 

 

Shepherd Bonaventure Levi - Shepherd after those that watched their fields the night Jesus was born, Levi's a biblical choice in the same fashion, and Bonaventure is a GP of mine that has special meaning [that has particular meaning around Christmas]. 

 

Juneau Frances - Juneau as in Alaska, where I spent my very first Christmas on this earth. Frances is just one of those names that feels wintery to me, a bit like Harper.

 

Flannery Eloise - Flannery makes me think of flannel (is that bad, lol?) but in a cute way. My grandpa always called me Eloise growing up, and I loved the books (and now the movie) Eloise at the Plaza and Eloise at Christmastime.
