Christmas is fast approaching, and so too is the expected summer heat wave we generally experience every year here in Australia. Thinking of relating your baby's name to the season in which it is born? For fellow Australians, here is a list of names that relate to summer:
Coraline - meaning natural sea growth, it is a variant of Coral.
Deniz - a Tukish boys' name meaning sea.
Dylan - Welsh name that means 'son of the sea'.
Kai - Hawaiian name that probably works best for boys.
Nerida - a Greek name that means mermaid.
Nerissa - Greek, meaning 'from the sea'. Also a character from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice.
Oceane - French for ocean. Very popular in France!
Sky/Skye - a clear sky in summer!
Summer - an obvious choice!
Sunny
To my European and American readers, I haven't forgotten which season you are in! Because I have every intention of experiencing a white Christmas in the not too distant future, here is a list of names that relate to winter:
