Autumnal girls names

I'm 40+6 and haven't decided on a girls name yet. I'm trying to find names which capture the magic of autumn. My own birthday is in October and I remember walking home from school in the leaves, smelling bonfires and having that frisson of excitement about toffee apples and Halloween. I like unusual, gothic, Victoriana, romantic names but can't find the right name which encapsulates all of the above. My current name is Violetta which ties in loosely with an aunt of dh also but all suggestions are welcome.
