Summer/Autumn

Currently pregnant with DC3 and he/she is due on the equinox in September (the equinox is the official end of Summer and start of Autumn and I think it's when there's exactly the same amount of daylight as darkness.

I am now considering the names Summer and Autumn for a girl. If she's born on or before 22nd Sept, call her Summer, and if she's born after call her Autumn.

I've suggested this to hubby and he straightaway said no (although we definitely considered Summer during our previous two pregnancies, so I'm sure I could convince him!)

What do you all think to the names? Our only other alternative for a girl is Scarlett.

What's your favourite? Scarlett or Summer/Autumn?

Not keen on Scarlett, but I really like Summer and Autumn.

I wanted Autumn for DD but DH said no. He then said he liked it after she was named.

I think Summer, Scarlett and Autumn are all beautiful names Smile

Watching with interest as my name may be either Summer or Winter.

I know a Summer and it really suits her. I like all those names so I'm afraid I'd be useless at choosing.

Both lovely names . We have both scattered in our family Grin

I much prefer Autumn to Summer Smile . One of my daughter's goes to school with an Autumn & it's really lovely when you hear it said out loud. I'm not the world's biggest fan of Scarlett in general.

For some reason I'm not keen on Summer, but love Scarlett & Autumn. If she's the end of September then Autumn Scarlett is a name to be proud of!

Love the name Winter though! Grin

How about Augusta for an August baby?

Or Julia for a July one?

Not keen on Summer/Autumn names myself.
