Holly? More seasonally appropriate than Autumn.

Sophia and Emily are my favourites from your list, if that helps.

Congratulations Flowers

Emily, Lauren and Sophia are my favourites from your list. But if you want a seasonal, nature name how about Rowan, Robyn or Ivy?

I like the idea of a seasonal name.

Natalie (born at Christmas)
Nieve (Spanish for snow)
Love Robyn and Ivy.

Victoria is my favourite, it's quite unusual nowadays but is a pretty, classic name.

Eira is the Welsh word for snow, so would be seasonally appropriate.

Although words for rain might be more appropriate this year!Smile

I love Robin and would have named my second dd it if I wasn't for the fact my dh brothers called it!

Autumn is the only one that you say you love so go with that one, it doesn't matter if she wasn't actually born in the autumn X

Personally, I love Robyn or Noëlle for a December-born girl.

As you mentioned the name Autumn (which is gorgeous but I agree isn't quite right for anyone December born) - what about Winter? I'm not usually a fan of Nicole Richie, but I think her dd has a beautiful name (Harlow Winter Kate). I like the Winter Kate bit Smile

Nooo we're not changing up seasons round here! I've done well having one baby for each season Blush

Emily and Sophia are beautiful names.

Victoria is quite nice, though you will probably get people saying it's dated. But Tori? Don't know about that, because of the political associations! You might not be able to stop people using 'Vicky' instead, anyway.

I love all the names on your list except for Autumn. It really stands out as the only non-traditional name, and I would go for traditional personally and I would go with Emily from your list. But go with what you love.
