Summer/Autumn

[mandbaby]

Currently pregnant with DC3 and he/she is due on the equinox in September (the equinox is the official end of Summer and start of Autumn and I think it's when there's exactly the same amount of daylight as darkness.

I am now considering the names Summer and Autumn for a girl. If she's born on or before 22nd Sept, call her Summer, and if she's born after call her Autumn.

I've suggested this to hubby and he straightaway said no (although we definitely considered Summer during our previous two pregnancies, so I'm sure I could convince him!)

What do you all think to the names? Our only other alternative for a girl is Scarlett.

What's your favourite? Scarlett or Summer/Autumn?

Scarlet Autumn or Scarlet Summer?

I love the name Summer. It makes me happy, and I just like the sound of it. Autumn is lovely, too.

I don't like Winter, because it gives me images of coldness and austerity.

Scarlett is one of those names I kind of want to like, but don't.

I wanted Summer for DD but DH worked with a girl who was a part time stripper and Summer was her stage name...

I've heard people say that Summer is a bit stripper-ish, but...meh. I don't think so.

Mind you, I watched a movie yesterday in which a girl became a porn actress, and her name was Tess (as her porn/stripper name, not her real name). Which leads me to think anything can be a stripper name!

Dd was born last October and we named her Autumn...we love it and so does everyone else who hears it

I love Autumn and prefer it to Summer. Where I live people might pronounce Summer as "Summuh" which would put me off a bit.

Autumn is very pretty

I like Autumn out of the three.

I second the suggestion of September.

Don't like Scarlett (I keep thinking scarlett harlot)

Prefer summer to autumn x
