I'm having a girl after three sons she is due September and I want to call her Autumn other half does not like the name and suggested we call her Dayna 🤦‍♀️
The other options I have are which we both said are nice .
Emilia
Faye
Scarlett
But I still prefer Autumn her middle name will be lily or Rose.
What do you guys prefer please I don't want to her to be four in the class kind of name but also not to eccentric.
Something pretty but unique yes it's impossible I know

It's a short surname so a long middle name could work also.

We've got a longer middle name after Autumn and sounds really nice.
Francesca
Annabelle
Felicity
Sofia
Maria
Katherine
Elizabeth
Mathilda
Depends on your surname though really

Autumn is fine, all your middle name options are ubiquitous filler names this past decade, do you need a middle name just for the sake of it? No flower or virtue or noun words, with a season before them, they’ll sound ridiculous. ‘autumn grace/summer patience/spring honour/winter lily’ see? 😄

Autumn is quite lovely and the best name on your list. Works really well with the brothers' names too. 2nd choice from list is Scarlett. Not so keen on the others. Autumn Grace is a nice combo.

Autumn Sylvie
Autumn Katie
Autumn Phoebe
Autumn Lucy
Autumn Claire

Not sure about Autumn. I wouldn’t have thought of Faye but think it’s nice.

My neice is called Autumn and she is a beauty inside and out. Lovely name.

Bubbletrouble43 · 18/04/2020 18:55

Emilia Faye runs nicely

Whatsyourflava · 18/04/2020 18:55

What’s your boy name if you don’t mind me asking

Bubbletrouble43 · 18/04/2020 18:53

I like Autumn, but if you are over ruled Emilia is also lovely. So much nicer with that spelling.

I like Grace but not sure if it's to popular I know a few but it is a gorgeous name I agree.

What would you choose as a middle name with Autumn then instead of Rose I'm open to anything else

OP posts:
Ingridla · 18/04/2020 17:49

I think Autumn is a lovely name

I think I can sway him maybe with a little begging Smile

I love the name Autumn. DH vetoed it because DD was born in the spring.

Wouldn't go with Rose or Lily as a middle name though. Too nouny.

RedandBluebox · 18/04/2020 17:30

I really like the name! Use it if you can

maria860 · 18/04/2020 17:22

Yes I think rose is very popular now maybe Grace instead of Rose

Blursula · 18/04/2020 17:02

I love the name Autumn and obviously your due date fits it nicely! Personally I find every other person currently gives Rose as a middle name though, which for me has made it feel a bit less special. I love Scarlet too and Faye is quite underused.

OnlyJudyCanJudgeMe · 18/04/2020 16:40

Out of that list, yes.

maria860 · 18/04/2020 16:37

So do you prefer Faye ?

OP posts:
OnlyJudyCanJudgeMe · 18/04/2020 16:30

Faye Rose is fine. No one ever uses middle names apart from on paperwork and no one outside the immediate family know them anyway.

I love Autumn Rose too it's a beautiful name I don't know why he dislikes it. We agreed a boys name within five minutes so I'm looking for alternatives.

Autumn Rose is a beautiful name. A shame your husband doesn't like it. Scarlett would be my next choice.
