Christmas and Holiday Baby Names




It's the most wonderful time of the year! In honor of Christmas, I compiled a list of baby names with holiday spirit. To make things simpler, I've split them up into different categories—Traditional, Christmas Spirit, Christmas Tales, and Winter Nature Names.


Some of them have obvious connections, and some of them have meanings that are seasonal. But all of them have just the right amount of holiday spirit, and there is bound to be one or two that fit your style perfectly. Happy holidays!

  2. I think cute twin girl names (that were born on Christmas Day or Eve) would be:
    Merri-lee and Natalie
    and then middle names like Joyce, Hope, Grace, Mercy, Love, or Faith:+)
