I’m not naming a new baby in December; instead, I’m celebrating my little one’s first birthday! If I were still expecting and looking for a name, these “wintery” baby names would be towards the top of my list.

Some are inspired by the season, while others are inspired by the holidays – but no matter what time of year your baby is born, these baby names are all lovely!
