1. Aspen. Like the wintry Aspen tree and the posh ski resort in Colorado, this English baby name works equally well for boys and girls.

2. Branch. A Latin boy’s name for paw, claw or tree branch — all reminiscent of a stroll through a wintry forest. And if you're a Trolls movie buff, you have another reason to choose this one!

3. Clark. As in Griswald from the movie Christmas Vacation! Clark is a gorgeous, unisex baby name choice that means “cleric or scholar" in the French tradition.

4. Eira. This pretty Welsh name for "snow" makes the perfect short-and-sweet choice for your little girl.

5. Elsa. Meaning “noble” in German, this name is short for Elizabeth, or “consecrated to God,” in Hebrew — and if you’re a Frozen fan, this is a gorgeous moniker for your little snow queen.

6. Ember. This one conjures up images of a warm and toasty fire and is a unique choice for a fiery little girl. It's the French version of the English name Amber.

7. Farr. We love this modern, jet-setter English boy’s name that means “traveler,” just like the three wise men. For a more formal-sounding variation, try Farren or Farron.

8. Fraser. As in the fir tree, Fraser is a lovely baby name for a boy born in the winter months. You'll love the meaning even more: "strawberry" in the French tradition or “curly-haired” in the English tradition.

9. Holly. Nothing says holiday cheer like the name Holly. Or for a boy, try Hollis, which is an English name meaning "near the holly bushes."

10. January. Actress January Jones may have made it famous, but it's still unique enough not to be too trendy.

11. Izar. A one-of-a-kind Basque girl's name meaning “star,” like the Star of Bethlehem leading the three wise men. You might also like the variations Izarra or Izarre.

12. Lumi. A good choice for your little boy or girl that's the literal translation for “snow” in Finnish.

13. Mac. We talk about the Maccabees each year at Hanukkah. The baby name Mac pays homage to these Jewish rebels; Mac is also a Scottish name meaning "son."

14. Nicholas. Jolly old St. Nick, the patron saint of kids, inspires this baby name. It means "victorious people" in the Greek tradition.

15. Neva. A baby girl name in the Spanish tradition for snow (nieve) — or “new” in the English — this is also a river in Russia near St. Petersburg.

16. Noel. Another holiday-inspired moniker, this French baby girl and boy name (often spelled "Noelle" for a girl) means "day of Christ’s birth."

17. Olwen. This pretty Welsh baby girl’s name means “white footprint” — a lovely image for a snowy winter day.

18. Vale. Although Vail is the name of the popular winter skiing destination, this alternate gender-neutral spelling English name also brings to mind wintry scenes and means "valley."

19. Wynter. This super cool baby name, meaning “winter” in the English tradition, works equally well for a little boy or girl snow bunny. Cute nickname: Wynn!
