NAME OF THE DAY: Snow

With a historic nor'easter  in the 🗽New York Metropolitan tri-state area causing a snow ⛄ day, I decided to talk about the fitting name: 📛Snow 

Everyone surely knows the 🧚‍♀️fairytale character Snow White.🤍 With how popular the Brothers Grimm story 📖 is you would think there would a lot of little girls named Snow but the icy name ranks📉#3625 in 2024 on the US Top 1000 popular 📛names chart.📊 Once upon a time, Snow once peaked high on the Top 1k chart at 📈#1469 in 1894. ⏪ However, Snow ranks right above 1k at #728 on Nameberry's🍒 Top 1000 list. 📃  

Snow is from the English word, derived from Old English snāw. Snow is also a surname. 📛

The most Snows live in 📍Vermont 🥶 and 📍North Carolina. 

Nameberry🍒 describes Snow as: "brisk, fresh, pure, evocative -- and magical. A haunting middle name choice."

Behind the Name comments on the super rare, dainty name Snow are divided 🤔:

I'm a 🧚‍♀️fairy tale fan 🙋🏾‍♀️ so I love 💗 the name 📛Snow. I think it's really darling 🥰 and 🦄different.  End of story. 📕

NAME OF THE DAY: January

Being it's the start of January 🎉 I will be discussing the first month of the year name: 📛📅January 

January "the term originated before the year 1000 from Middle English, ultimately deriving from the Latin noun use of Jānuārius, equivalent to Jānus. In ancient Roman culture, Jānus was a god of doorways, beginnings, and the rising and setting of the sun. His name comes from the Latin jānus, meaning 'doorway, archway, arcade.'"

Behind the Name explains that 📅January "briefly charted on the American top 1000 list for girls after it was borne by the protagonist of Jacqueline Susann's novel Once Is Not Enough (1973)." 📛Nameberry🍒 believes it was because of the character 📅January Wayne in Susann's 📘book that boosted baby girls to be named after her in the 1970s.

The second cultural influence that helped spike January as a baby name is — 📅January Jones 🎥 — who played Betty Draper on the wildly successful 2007 📺show Mad Men. The mother-to-be of Jones was inspired by 📅January Wayne's character so much, she named her baby daughter after her. Now Nameberry says, "📅January has joined 📅March, 📅April, 📅June and 📅August as a plausible month name."

📅January's rank on the US Top 1000 name chart 📈 is #749. And as of 2024, "📅January was only used on 11 girls in the US, making it a very rare choice." 

📍North Dakota 🥶 has the most Januarys along with supposedly ☀ sunny 📍California. 

📍Brazil, has the city of Januaria, which is used as a girl's name and means 'January' in Portuguese.

📛📅January 🥇 is just like the month name 📛October to me, one of my favorite names ever. I've loved 🥰 the name 📛📅January since I was in high 🏫school in fact. It's a name I would have loved to have been named 😭 as I was born 👶🏾 (and if I had a daughter and she were born in January, 📛📅January would be my top pick 👌🏾) in January (btw today is my 🎂birthday! 🤗).

📛📅January is a beautiful name with significant history behind the name. I definitely prefer📛📅January more so for a girl 💗 but boys named 📛📅January 💙 are just as cool. 😎 I'm surprised 📛📅January is not a top month baby name by now... 🤔 I hope it will start to rise 📈 on the name charts again. 🤞🏾 Nameberry has hope it will too pointing out: "January was used by Emily Henry in her popular contemporary romance novel, Beach Read, which might inspire parents-to-be in coming years."

BOOK CHARACTER NAME OF INTEREST: Winter

Today is the first day of Winter ❄ so I will talk about the chill(y) name 📛Winter  — which belongs to Winter Santiaga - the winsome, tough and slick main character of the classic urban novel  📘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 📛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 📃list: 1,081 Feminine Boy Names. Winter also is a surname.📛

📍Montana 🥶 is where most Winters live. 

I love the truly 😎 cool (or rather cold 🥶) name 📛Winter (although it's my third favorite of the season names: 📛Autumn, 📛Summer, 📛Winter & lastly, 📛Spring). I also love the alternative spelling of it: 📛Wynter. I prefer Winter more for a girl but as a boy name works well too (I would spell is however: Wenter). 👍🏾👍🏾

NAME OF THE DAY: Holiday

With the holiday season here, today I will be discussing the festive name: 📛🎀Holiday 🎉

Holiday is a word : "from the Old English hāligdæg meaning "holy day" as it was originally used to mark religious festivals and celebrations," Nameberry explains.

Nameberry recognizes 🎀Holiday as a girl's name and points out 🎀Holiday has been "a quietly used option since the 50s" and "in a recent count, just 21 girls were called 🎀Holiday in the US, making this a rare choice that doesn't sound too out there." But Behind the Name proclaims Holiday as a masculine name as well. However, Holiday is more so used as a surname.📛  

Other forms of 🎀Holiday include: 📛Holliday, 📛Holidae, 📛Holidaye & 📛Holladay

Nameberry's say on 🎀Holiday: "A fun and confident choice, Holiday is a celebratory name, particularly associated with Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hannukah, and New Year, and with rest, leisure, and vacations more generally. Fitting for a winter baby, but totally sunny too." The most Holidays live in 📍California and 📍Wyoming. 

The name 🎀Holiday made it onto the 📛Nameberry🍒 Baby Name Trends 2026 📃list as a 

✨Showgirl Name📛: "Showgirl names appear to be all about glitz and glam, but scratch the surface and you'll find a wealth of strength behind them."

I really love the name 📛🎀Holiday. 💗 It's a very pretty, 🦄 special, 😃 happy name. I do like it more so as a girl's name because of the 'Holi' part in it — but it being a boy's name could work — if the 'Day' part was used as a nickname. 👌🏾
