New Year Baby Names

I’d use Nova if I had a girl around New Years

One question regarding Idony: I’ve never heard of her as anything else than Idun for the Norse goddess of eternal youth, is Idony what she’s translated as in English?
And why don’t you ever suggest Idun? It’s similar to the more popular choice of Eden and it fits better with the names people choose these days, so to me it has better chance of being used if only people knew about it…

Just a thought

Happy New Year!

I get a Chevy vibe from Nova, but oh, I do love Sahar and Idony.

I love Nova! If were to have a New Year’s baby, it would definitely be in there as a mn at least

Great New Year’s Blog! Here are three more names for January in other languages, to add to your list:

EANÁIR (Irish – pronounced an-arr. Sounds like it could be a strong name for a boy.)

GENVER (Breton and Cornish. Sounds like it could be a girl’s name, possibly an alternate for Jennifer.)

JANVIER (French – pronounced zhan-vee-ay. Possibly a name for a boy?)

Happy New Year to you, Linda & Pam!

– Nephele

Whoops! I just saw that you already included EANÁIR and JANVIER! Haha! *Nephele throws a snowball at herself*

Thanks Nephele–and to you!

January in Welsh is Ionawr, pronounced YONN-ow-r (“ow” as in bough or flOWer or our).

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!

love
Ailsa

Aurora, Amaryllis, and Zara are all gorgeous and names I would consider using!

Nice blog!

I’d just like to add Elpis and Elpida , two greek female names meaning hope (both “i” pronounced like “i” in “sit”).

And since you propose Neo (for newness meaning) , Nea in greek means new for female (“e” pronounced like “e” in “set” and “a” like “a” in Sarah).

Happy new year to all!

Great blog!

Happy New Year to everyone!
