BOOK CHARACTER NAME OF INTEREST: Winter

Today is the first day of Winter ❄ so I will talk about the chill(y) name πŸ“›Winter   which belongs to Winter Santiaga - the winsome, tough and slick main character of the classic urban novel  πŸ“˜The Coldest Winter Ever by Lisa "Sister Souljah" Williamson.

Winter candidly shares how she was got her name at the very start:


🫣

"Winter entered the U.S. Top 1000 in 1978, it was been used as a first name as early as the seventeenth century," Nameberry traces.

"Fresher, brisker and, yes, cooler than Summer or Autumn or Spring, Winter is now a full-fledged female choice," Nameberry praises. 

Winter is the preferred spelling over variant πŸ“›Wynter: "less month, more trendy, more times needing to spell it to people." Nameberry says Winter has risen in popularity significantly over the past few years and is #385 on the Most Popular Baby Names of 2024 list for girls. Winter is #38 on baby name πŸ“ƒlist: 1,081 Feminine Boy Names. Winter also is a surname.πŸ“›

πŸ“Montana πŸ₯Ά is where most Winters live

I love the truly 😎 cool (or rather cold πŸ₯Ά) name πŸ“›Winter (although it's my third favorite of the season names: πŸ“›AutumnπŸ“›SummerπŸ“›Winter & lastly, πŸ“›Spring). I also love the alternative spelling of it: πŸ“›Wynter. I prefer Winter more for a girl but as a boy name works well too (I would spell is however: Wenter). πŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎ
