My friend named her Christmas baby “Revel.” He was not supposed to be a Christmas baby, but with a name like Revel he just had to make his parents wait.

Thanks, Elisabeth! Re Zuzu, I have friends who named their baby Zoe just so they could use that as a nickname.

Ooh, glad you did this!

I too love the colors of the season, and the characters from movies is a door I almost left ajar but was afraid it would be too much. Glad you devoted a separate list for them. Zuzu in particular is kind of a favorite of mine.

It’s always nice to be reminded of cognates. Mary in particular seems to have infinite manifestations…Marijke and Miriam are very special I think.

Well done ladies!

Merry Christmas.

My grandmother’s name was Stella… well, Estella, but she went by Stella, and since she passed away, I’ve had Estella at the top of my girls’ name list…

I love the color names. Very original! I know it was on the other list but I also love Joy and Noelle!

Also…
Joshua- Jesus is the Greek form of Joshua, so why not?
Natalie, Natasha, etc.- means ‘born on Christmas’
Stella- means ’star’, as in the star of Bethlehem
Israel- the country where Jesus was born
Bethlehem- cute place name, sports nickname Beth
Elizabeth- Mary’s cousin whom she visited
Christopher- ‘friend of God’, first syllable is Christ
… of course, the best is Mary Christmas.
