Autumn?

This is purely hypothetical as I'm not even pregnant yet!

But is Autumn for a girl awful? I think it's really pretty, DH is a bit dubious. It is also my favourite season.

I love it. It's cool but sounds quite serious (unlike summer). A bit quirky but not mental.

I probably wouldn't use it myself as DH would never agree, but it is a nice name IMO (as long as the baby was born in the autumn months)!

I know of a baby born last month called Autumn. I wasn't keen at first, but I think now it's grown on me. I like it!

I don't think it's one I'd use but if it's good enough for the Queen's granddaughter-in-law... I don't think I'm quirky enough to pull it off but I really like it.

I want to like it because I like the leaves, and I Summer as a name, and Autumn is a bit different without being too unusual. But the sound of it Aw Tumm. no. Sorry. I'm dubious too.
