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

I love Autumn I don't know why I just haven't heard of another Autumn.
My DP said it's a dull name as he hates the season ha that's all he said about it..off the list he prefers Faye but a middle name for Faye is very hard I've tried to find one.

I like all the names except Faye and Dayna. Dayna reminds me of the character Dayna Skully in the X files!

Although she will be born in Autumn in the northern hemisphere, she may not always live here. Not that its really a reason to not choose it. If you like natural names, I also like Daisy, Willow and Brooke.

Absolutely love Autumn I wanted it for my girls but exh wouldn’t agree to it

I have an Autumn. Have heard of others but have never met one. I (obviously) think it is a beautiful name but your do doesn't like it.

MurrayTheMonk · 18/04/2020 16:12

I really like it!

Pipandmum · 18/04/2020 16:12

I have an Autumn in my family too - she's three.

NuffSaidSam · 18/04/2020 16:11

I quite like Autumn, but if DP doesn't like it you can't use it.

Your other names are all nice. I think I like Scarlett best.

Not sure about colour name and flower middle name though. Scarlett Rose sounds like a stripper or a type of paint.

Faye is nice and really underused.

Prefer Emily to Emilia and a bit popular for me.

I like Autumn. There is an Autumn in the Royal family if anyone says anything snobby.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autumn_Phillips

(Well there was but they are divorcing, but the point still stands)

MsMcGonagall · 18/04/2020 16:10

I know 2 teenage Autumns and I think its a lovely name.

Of your other choices my favourite is Scarlett.

Then Faye. Not a fan of Emilia

Season names are awful in my opinion. Lily and Rose are much nicer. I’m a very judgmental person though.
