If you’re on the hunt for a beautiful baby name for your December arrival, we’ve rounded up a few of our favourites inspired by the most magical time of the year!
With snow falling outside and lots of festive cheer in the air, December is such a lovely time to welcome a newborn, and the cold weather is such a good excuse to cosy up by the fire and get all the cuddles.
Although they may not be entirely delighted that their birthday falls so close to Christmas (and as a result end up getting a ‘two-for-one’ present!)
Ailbhe
Pronounced: ‘al-va’ – Meaning: ‘white,’ ‘noble,’ ‘bright’
Ailbhe is said to be derived from the Gaelic albho, which means white. And since December usually sees a snow day or two, it’s a lovely nod to the season.
Fiadh
Pronounced: ‘fee-ah’ - Meaning: ‘little deer’
Fiadh or Fia means ‘wild’ or ‘deer’, an animal that we tend to associate with winter and Christmas.
Nollaig
Pronounced: ‘nul-uhg’ - Meaning: ‘Christmas’
How adorable would this be for a December baby?
Niamh
Pronounced: ‘neeve’ – Meaning: ‘brightness’ or ‘radiance
Niamh is similar to the Spanish word for snow, nieve, making it perfect for a December arrival.
Realtín
Pronounced: ‘rail-teen’ – Meaning: ‘little star’
Realtín is perfect for your little star!
Oisín
Pronounced: ‘ush-een’ – Also meaning ‘little deer’
Faolán
