We already looked at autumn names this year and whilst for most seasons there aren't that many obvious names there are some that have subtle but clever connections.
Here are some winter themed names for you to ponder...
Angerona: Angerona was the the Roman Goddess of the winter solstice, death and silence.
Eira: A girl's name of Welsh origin meaning 'snow'.
Eirwen: A Welsh girl's name meaning 'white snow'.
Frediano: An Italian boys name derived from a Latin word meaning 'cold'.
June: Another name from the month. June in Australia is the start of winter.
Lumi: A girls name from Finland meaning 'snow'.
Mazin: An Arabic boys name meaning 'rain clouds'.
Morana: Perhaps not the most cheerful meaning, Morana was the Slavic mythical goddess of death and winter.
Pertida: A name coined by Shakespeare for a character in his play A Winters Tale.
Rain: Sparse in some areas and abundant in other, rain tends to be a key feature of winter and this word name is commonly used as both a boys and girls name.
Winter: A modern English name derived from the name of the season. Nicole Richie's daughter Harlow's middle name is Winter.
Yukiko: A Japanese girls name meaning 'snow child'

It completely slipt my mind that its Winter down under. Here rain (in the states) is usually associated with Summer and early Autumn.

Eira-this is really sweet!
June-Here, June is the start of Summer, that is so wild.
Lumi-I love this, another sweet name. Don't know if I'd ever use it myself.
Mazin
Morana-there is also the modern Polish form of Marzenna (mar-ZHEN-nah), which also happens to coincide with the modern Polish word for hopes and dreams
Winter
