Festive Names! Part I - Girls

So its one more sleep until its my favourite time of year again. Decorations (This year I have organized to have a snowman and snowflake painted on my toes!). That Christmas-sy cinnamon-ny smell. Over eating. Over Drinking. And of course presseeenttss!

So in the spirit of Christmas I have decided to post a few appropriate names for this ever so jolly Christmas.

Noelle - An obvious choice for a little Christmas girl. Sweet.

Holly - A gorgeous name for a little girl. I love the link to Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's. And according to the Christmas carol the holly wears the crown.

Natalia - Meaning born on Christmas day and originally from Italy Natalia is a classy choice especially for Van Morrison fans.

Carol - OKay so this one may have been used by the generation before us but I still think it is a nice strong name. And it's likely you know someone you can honor by using this name.

Neva- A gorgeous little name meaning snow and is originally from Spain. This is my favourite of the Christmas names. It just sounds so feminine and pretty.

Eira-Another name which means snow. But even if your a southern hemisphere-er and don't have the whole white Christmas thing this Welsh name is a beautiful chioce for bubby girl.

Atalya - This is another form of the above name Natalia from America and thus shares it's meaning. Cute.

So for now, at least untill I brainstorm boys names, Merry Christmas!

Royal names part 2- Boys

Want a noble name for your little knight? Here are our top choices:

William: A classic name which we can safely say has not gone out of fashion. William the Conqueror invaded England bringing about Norman culture and political change and reform in 1035 AD. A name with this much history has to be a winner, also the name of the charming 2nd in line of England.

Alexander: Alexander the Great was an Ancient Greek king. He was one of the most successful military commanders of all time. This noble name can be shortened to Alex, Xan or Xander. We hope your noble son won’t bring about as much war in your family.

Harry: King Henry VIII nicknames “Harry” by his close companions is not renowned for his “women skills” but how can you not love this name? He was a tough leader, passionate always about his religion. Your child’s name will have history oozing out of it.

Edward: This name is classy, elegant and totally royal. Edward the Confessor is regarded as the patron saint of kings, difficult marriages, and separated spouses and for some time Saint of England. This name not so frequent currently can allow your babe to be the new trendsetter.

Napoleon: French military and political leader Napoleon had and has a significant impact on the history of Europe. He was a general during the French Revolution, the ruler of France within the new French Republic and Emperor of the First French Empire. This name shouts style and is perfect for first or middle names.
