Autumn Smile

Autumn. Freya is a good name but I think it's past it's sell by date now.

Mum2OneTeen · 25/09/2017 01:37

Freya

Buntysoven · 25/09/2017 00:18

Both lovely. Sorry no help at all

tigerlil6571 · 24/09/2017 17:21

Autumn is beautiful

Freya is bland, boring and common (sorry)

bridgetreilly · 24/09/2017 17:19

Freya.

user the penny didn't fail to drop.You were trying to be witty-you failed.

MammieBear · 24/09/2017 15:41

Have Freya Autumn.

Rocketbuddies · 24/09/2017 11:45

Love Freya. Would have chosen it for DD if it didn't remind me of an old 'friend' at school!

ilovesushi · 24/09/2017 11:42

Both are utterly gorgeous. For me Autumn just about pips it, but only if she will be born in autumn.

LilaoftheGreenwood · 24/09/2017 11:35

Keira Iris Emmeline Winter is absolutely gorgeous! Flowers

BewareOfDragons · 24/09/2017 10:51

Freya. Such a lovely name.

Autumn is a season.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 24/09/2017 10:47

Freya.

Geegee4 · 24/09/2017 10:37

I have a Freya but love Autumn too. It sounds lovely pronounced with an English accent but when I say Autumn it sounds all wrong...

PandorasXbox · 24/09/2017 10:17

Autumn.

Bootstrap my arse.

KeiraH · 24/09/2017 10:12

Freya. I have a Freya so I might be slightly biased but I absolutely love that name. Saying that I love season names too and my second daughter due in December will have Winter as her second middle name, Iris Emmeline Winter 😊 Autumn is really beautiful though, could you not use them both? I think they work well together.

JemimaLovesHamble · 23/09/2017 23:29

There's an Autumn Kelly in the Royal Family, married to Princess Anne's son. It may come down to your surname. The example I just gave "scans" well, some others might not.

Tealdeal747 · 23/09/2017 23:09

Autumn

Thingstodotoday · 23/09/2017 23:08

User - the penny drop needed is that you worded your sentence in a way that implied that bootstrap is a season as well as "not being a name"?

ElizaDontlittle · 23/09/2017 23:00

Freya - but NOT because Autumn is a bad name à la user above, it's a pretty name, but because I think Freya is really beautiful.

user1480267413 · 23/09/2017 22:57

Oh dear. Didn't quite get the gist did we?!! Never mind. I expect the penny will drop later.

JemimaLovesHamble · 23/09/2017 22:22

Autumn. Freya sounds close enough to fryer to make me smell rancid grease when I hear it. (I appreciate not everyone has this issue though!)

MadisonAvenue · 23/09/2017 22:18

Autumn.
Not keen on Freya at all.

early30smum · 23/09/2017 21:47

Freya

womanbehavingbadly · 23/09/2017 21:44

Autumn is beautiful
