I think you know the drill by now ~~~
Here's today's Advent calendar ~~~
It's getting busy now as the 25th approaches, so thought I'd share some quick Christmas Trivia today and ask you a quick question:
what's in a name?
For a boy you could have:
Casper Christian Claus Gabriel Joseph Nicholas Noel Rudolph
For a girl you could have:
Carol Gabrielle Holly Ivy Mary Joy Noelle Virginia Gloria Belle Natalie Natasha Angela
Some more unusual suggestions include:
Cookie Candy Giftson Gifty Star Peace Melchior Balthazar
Do you know someone born in December who has been given a Christmas name?
Until next time ~~~

Deb, some of those names for Christmas babies are unusual indeed. I can't imagine some of them. Both of our children were born in December. Our daughter was born on Christmas day and her name is Noël! After she was born they brought her to us in a red stocking. It was and continues to be our most exciting Christmas. xoxo ♥
ReplyDeleteHello Martha Ellen ~ yes, they are unusual, aren't they? I was thinking of you particularly when writing this, knowing you have December babies! Imagine receiving a baby in a red stocking!

My niece was born on Dec. 2, but her name is Sara. Nothing Christmas related there. We have a friend, John, born on Dec. 24. I suppose you could stretch it by saying Elizabeth was expecting John the Baptist, when Mary visited her after the Gabriel visited her with the news of Jesus coming birth. My Grandmother was also born on Dec. 24th and her name was Lillian. I can't think of any Christmas related person, but maybe you know of a Saint or something. Interesting blog as always! Love, Jane xoxo
ReplyDeleteHello Jane! I've been thinking, Lillian is a derivation of Elizabeth, but it is also considered by some to come from the Latin root for lilies. Lilies, of course, have many connections with the scriptures, Christ and Mary.

Oh, that's good, Deb. I hadn't thought of that. Of course, lillies and scripture connections! I should have thought of that. Thanks for sharing that bit of information.
DeleteI can't say I know of anyone born in December, but some of the names are different, indeed. You have a good selection listed and tho there were some I would have guessed, some were new to me. What a nice little trivia game to think about.
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs,

I know quite a few, including some Christmas Day babies. My cousin is a Nicolas. Some of those names smack of a Jamie Oliver twist! lol
