I love nature names, love autumn and baby is due now! Is this too wacky as a name? This is so hard!

It's a gorgeous name. I wish I had chosen it. It sounds very elegant. I know of two Autumns who are very elegant and stylish!

Oh good! It's always been on the list but it was a bit of an outlier and then dh said he liked it this morning (for the first time!) so I'm considering it carefully. HmmHmm

This year has been one of the best Autumns in a long time - little rain and wind so trees are looking amazing. The perfect year to call your baby Autumn :)

That's what I thought - it's so beautiful out there and I've been on ml now for several weeks, enjoying the sunshine and colours.

I'm quite surprised how positively it's been received. We were considering Francesca but it isn't quite 'me' somehow. But maybe Autumn Francesca Surname.

My baby is due today, we have another name chosen but given what a GORGEOUS sparkly autumnal day it is I have been thinking about this name. Love it!

I like it but I would say that!

It would also be the perfect middle name for anyone born on a day like today.

That's my name Smile I get complimented about it often. She will be plagued by terrible seasonal jokes! But I still think it's a great name.

It's the only seasonal name I like - hate Summer & Winter as names but I do like Autumn.

I really love it, but my DH wouldn't even consider it!

I am not personally a fan however it is much more mainstream now that there is an Autumn in the royal family, I believe it's in the top 100 girls names now.

Absolutely love it. Autumn is also my favourite season due to the prettiness of the colourful leaves and how warm and cosy it is.

I really love it but I also like names that can generate nicknames or pet names so I personally wouldn't chose it because it can't really be shortened to anything. Then again that's the exact reason why some people chose names because they specifically don't want them abbreviated! I love nature names too, DD due in December and really trying to push Snow as a middle name but DH not going for it so far
