She was born in July?

And it is a middle name (not that that matters!!)

Just wondering what you think?

It's pretty but a little odd, for a summer born child.

I don't think so, but then I have an August born Holly Grin I think it's fine if it's a name you love, others will probably disagree!

No, not odd at all :) If you like it, use it. There are many names where the meaning is not to be taken literally.

Well, you could say it is because she was conceived in the (late) autumn?

AnaisB · 08/07/2011 20:52

was just about to say the same Oakmaiden!

I have a July baby with a middle name Summer, but Autumn is a lovely name.

LetThereBeRock · 08/07/2011 20:56

Not at all odd imho.

Rhubarbgarden · 08/07/2011 21:05

I don't think it matters for a middle name.

JambalayaCodfishPie · 08/07/2011 21:19

I know an Autumn, born in April. :)

MelinaM · 08/07/2011 21:20

Autumn is lovely, no I don't think it mattersSmile

Jezabelle · 08/07/2011 21:48

I love Autumn, do it!

No , especially not for a middle name. I'm considering Holly for an August baby though!

lisianthus · 10/07/2011 20:45

I don't understand why Holly has to be a Christmas name. After all, holly is around all year. People don't get funny if your daughter Rose wasn't born in June, or Daisy wasn't a spring baby.

Autumn is a lovely name.

Not at all - I like Autumn (dh vetoed it but I like it and it's my favourite season - all the colours). I wanted Blossom as a middle name but dh didn't like that either - he's a bit more traditional. Never mind - you go for it!
