They are surnames as first names which is American

Yes all of them with the possible exception of Autumn.
They all have a certain vibe.
I would only call a daughter Autumn if she was born in Autumn. I just think it sounds naff otherwise.

It sounds like an American preschool class, and I live in the USA. I do know a girl named Delaney, too.

(if I’m going to be specific the collection as a whole sounds upper middle class Southern, though the style of name happens elsewhere too. Madison had a whole vogue.)

I know someone whose daughter was born in July who was called Snow Winter. Why would you????
