Another name I always thought of as being particularly fitting for a New Year's baby is Dagny, a Scandinavian name meaning "new day." I know it's day and not year...but still. :)

Other names that mean "new" in some way include Neville, Newton, Nova, Signy and Torny.

Finally, for January babies in general, you could always consider the names Janus (the Roman god on whose name January is based), Garnet (the birthstone for January), or Winter (the season within which the month falls).
