August
It officially marks the last month of winter on the calendar for the Southern Hemisphere but it's also a gorgeous name for a little boy.
With nickname potentials of 'Gus' or 'Auggie' and a Latin origin meaning "great, magnificent" it's a strong name.
Blaze
Coming from Latin origin meaning fire, it's the perfect name for embracing the cooler seasons without going full on with anything too cliché.
It's also not a bad gender neutral choice, although leans more towards boys.
Douglas
Meaning 'dark', Douglas – which is also a very traditional kind of name – is perfect for a little bub born on a cold wintery night.
Douglas also evokes the reference to the Douglas fir, a stunning Christmas tree you'll often see dappled with snow as the cold hits other parts of the world.
Edur
If you are on the hunt for a unique name with meaning, Edur is for you.
A Basque name which means 'snow' the unique name is perfect for your little boy born during the colder months. If you're a couple who have a strong connection or passion for the snow, it's a meaningful option for you.
Frost
OK, so this one is very obvious but perfect for the parents who want to go with a name that's a little bit out there and less than traditional.
Frost is a boy's name meaning 'freezing' and while it's more common as a surname, some parents are turning towards it as a unique first name.
Jack
Jack, which comes from English origin meaning 'God is gracious', is a strong boys name in general.
But with associations to Jack Frost, the personification of frost, ice, snow, sleet, winter, and freezing cold, it's another option for your winter babe.
Robin
Another name which falls into the gender neutral category is Robin.
The name translates to 'bright and shining' but it's the fact that a robin is a winter bird which gives a really lovely nod to the season.
Wolf
When you picture these animals, often the first thing that comes to mind is a wolf in the snow.
For parents looking for a strong and edgy name, Wolf is up there, and also lends to the season without being a total winter inspiration name too.
Alaska
When you think of cold places with plenty of snow, Alaska often comes to mind.
According to Nameberry the moniker is of Native American origin meaning 'great land'.
While not a common name by any means, Alaska has been rising up the charts slowly as more parents turn to naming their children after places.
