Autumn?

This is purely hypothetical as I'm not even pregnant yet!

But is Autumn for a girl awful? I think it's really pretty, DH is a bit dubious. It is also my favourite season.

I like it - it's my favourite season! I agree with others who say the baby should be born in September/October/November. One of my nephews and his wife have just had their third baby, born in September. They named him August. I see some bullying ahead in that boy's future.

I also went to school with a Windy and a Rainy, as well as an Allegra Rainbow, and twins Morning Star and Evening Star Ramsay. Hey, we were born in teh '70s and it was a laid-back hippy town.

My daughter is called autumn. Smile

She was born in January

No, but I don't like any names that are names of objects / months / days / seasons, be it flowers, cars, alcoholic beverages, or times of year.
Give the hypothetical child a name that doesn't provoke all new people into asking them about it as soon as they introduce themselves, is my thinking.

Thanks for the replies! I still think its lovely, but not sure if DH and I are cool/quirky/posh enough to pull it off. Our other dc have fairly common names so don't really know if it will go.
