Unique Seasonal Baby Names

Hello friends! I have a bonus post this week, and I thought that with the seasons changing, I would write all about unique seasonal baby names. I think there's nothing cuter than paying homage to when your baby was born by giving him or her a seasonal name, and these are slightly more unique than Summer for a summer baby or Nicholas for a Christmas baby. I have 80 names in total, girls' names listed first (although many are gender-neutral, it's just how I prefer them, and followed by meaning), so let's get started!

Winter:
  • Noelle (Christmas) // Noel (Christmas)
  • Aspen (aspen tree) // Frost (frost)
  • Holly (holly berry) // Olwen (white footprint)
  • Lumi (snow) // Colden (dark valley)
  • Iclyn (compassionate) // Aubin (white)
  • Alaska (great land) // Crispin (curly-haired)
  • Eira (AY-ra: snow) // Oakley (oak tree)
  • Wren (small songbird) // Aster (star)
  • January (first month) // Tannon (fir tree)
  • Neva (snow) // Holmes (holly)

Spring:
  • Flora (flower) // Attwell (lives by the spring)
  • Arizona (little spring) // Denver (green valley)
  • Maelyn (May) // Caldwell (from the cold spring)
  • Maia (May) // Wilton (from the farm by the spring)
  • Leilani (heavenly flower) // Lark (songbird)
  • Fleur (flower) // Rowan (rowan tree)
  • Mailee (May) // Holden (from the hollow in the valley)
  • Nova (new) // Knox (round hill)
  • Zara (dawn) // Ryland (from the rye fields)
  • Kalina (kalina flower) // Pax (peace)

Summer:
  • July (youth) // August (great)
  • Ruby (gemstone) // Phoenix (deep red)
  • Electra (fiery sun) // Orion (son of fire)
  • Mira (of the sea) // Tide (ocean movement)
  • Waverly (from the quaking aspen meadow) // Beckett (bee cottage)
  • Isla (island) // Dax (water)
  • Kyra (sun) // Leo (lion)
  • Idalia (beyond the sun) // Bay (auburn-haired)
  • Marina (of the sea) // Reed (redhead)
  • Vega (eternal laws) // Arnett (little eagle)

Fall:
  • Fauna (young deer) // Fox (fox)
  • Peregrine (wanderer) // Barrett (mighty as a bear)
  • Sage (wise one) // Forrester (keeps the forest)
  • Scarlett (scarlet red) // Crimson (crimson red)
  • Rhea (goddess of fertility) // Radley (red meadow)
  • Eve (to live) // Fletcher (arrow maker)
  • Ginger (ginger root) // Saffron (saffron spice)
  • Sparrow (sparrow) // Sawyer (cuts timber)
  • Maize (MAY-zee: corn) // Lennox (elm tree)
  • Aurelia (golden) // Birch (birch tree)

I wish you all the best,
Erin
