Can I use June if the baby isn’t born in June?

It would be a middle name and chosen because it’s also my grandma’s middle name. Baby due mid July so June birthday is not impossible but unlikely.

I always thought it wouldn’t be an option but I was thinking today I know a Summer who was born in January. It was a bit weird when she was born but years later it’s just her name. Most people would have no idea when the birthday fell. And most people would never know your middle name.

I know an April born in Oct, a June born in August and probably lots more I don't even know.

I love this name!

Of course. I’d be less inclined to use it if the baby was born in June!

Of course you can, and especially if it's a family name and a middle name.

Yes of course! It's a lovely name :) I have an August who wasn't born in August :)
