Garnet
January's births tone. We love a gemstone baby name!
Winter
This one speaks for itself...
Alba
Latin for 'white', and a character in The Time Traveller's Wife, this is one of our favourites.
Bear
Bear is becoming more popular amongst parents - we're thinking of fluffy polar bears, and brown bears in cold regions! Bears definitely give us wintery, January vibes.
Robin/Robyn
For the famous and beautiful winter bird we see a lot of in the UK.
Una
Latin for 'one', and January is the first month of the year...
Iris
A winter flower
Neve
Gaelic name meaning 'bright' - think fresh white snow, and the bright winter sun!
Nova
Latin for 'new' - very apt, we think.

Also a Latin variation of 'new', as well as meaning the same in the Tswana language, this is a great choice.
Eira
Welsh for 'snow'
Lumi

Aspen
A graceful tree that towers gloriously in some colder countries in the winter.

'A new dawn, a new day...' as the song by Nina Simone goes. A new year, too!
