Middle name to go with Autumn?

Hello fellow Mumsnetters...
So, we have found out we are having a little girly.
I love the name Autumn, my husband likes it too, but is reluctant as you cant shorten it. We are thinking of a middle name so we can shorten her name to AJ ( eg if she was called Autumn Jessica)
I originally wanted Autumn Saffron, but this would make her initials ASS as my surname starts with S.
So, can anyone come up with some nice middle names? Or ideas for shortening Autumn. To be honest I don't thinks its a big deal to not be able to shorten it, but its important to my husband.

I was reading this and about to give ideas when I spotted the date! So nice you can back. Autumn Elizabeth is a gorgeous name!

Ignore the miserable ones on here!

Also interested to know nick names?

Thanks all for the replies. Everyone we come across seems to really love her name and it really suits her as she has long brown hair with streaks of blonde which remind me of Autumn colours.

As for nicknames/shortening- nope! We have our own little in-house nicknames, but we don't shorten it. 😊

Great final choice! Names that spring to mind that go for number 2 are; Juniper, Elsie/Elspeth, Willow, Lilac or Emerald for girls. And for boys; Eric, Ash, Max, Beck and Laurie. I know these won't be to everyone's taste though!
