Christmas is cool in the same way Easter or Winter is, IMO. My mother has cousin who was born around Christmas who is called Mary Nollaig (Nul-ig). Nollaig is the Irish for Christmas and Noel. I thought this was very funny the first time I heard it. Incidentally my mother was born in December and her mother considered calling her Carol or Noelle.

Nollaig is not that rare as a first name though - it is used for men and women.
