Christmas Names
December 7, 2010
Merry … whatever it is you celebrate! 
Around here, we’re getting ready for Christmas. This being Leo’s first Christmas, it’s pretty exciting.
In honor of the holiday spirit, here is a list of names having to do with Christmas. Some of them are pretty obvious, but some of them may be reaching a bit. Which may be exactly what you want, so as not to club people over the head with “my-baby-is-named-a-Christmas-name.”
I would tend to give people a lot of leeway with this, mostly because I love Christmas time (and Christmas names).
Some of these might also be good choices if your holiday celebrations include a new puppy/kitten/rabbit/goldfish/iguana/etc.
Enjoy!

Our son was born on December 17. A friend suggested we name him Alexander Noel. Wish we had – it was such an inventive middle!
I actually love the name Nicholas or Nicolas spelled for me
. Also I like your name Xanthe feminine form of Xanthus, right? I actually like Xanthus (spelled like X-anthus for me like Xavier) better sry
