I love this name for a girl (due in Sept) but worried it's just a bit too 'out there.'
Thoughts?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Not at all. There is a 3 year old Autumn in dds dance class and when I first heard it I thought what a lovely name it is

I love it. It's my DD's middle name and she was born on a beautiful October morning.

I've heard it used more and more so possibly not such an 'out there' name as it may have been back along.

It’s not out there at all
According to official stats:
Over 400 baby girls were given this name in 2018. It’ll be top 100 by the time the 2020 stats come out I bet

It’s a gorgeous name @DomTH

I love it for a girl born in Autumn.

I quite like it - it is very 'American' and you might get some rolled eyes or people telling you it's pretentious but if you like it then go for it. Just remember you do have to live with it forever and so does she so consider the possible life scenarios in which she'll have to use her name both nursery, school, work, social etc. However seems to me like Autumn would be fine in any of those scenarios it's not 'little girlie' that wouldn't go well in a work environment. As I said at the start, I like it :-)

I love it too!

I love it! I would’ve used it for my DD but it doesn’t go with our surname. I don’t think it’s particularly whacky.
