Autumn Wren - please tell me it's ok?

[LovedByAll]

Baby girl is 4 weeks old. We love Autumn Wren. Is it just too 'Yankee'?

ofhorse - erm, because she was born in Autumn?

I love both names individually but I'm not keen on two nature names together. I think it would be better if one name was just a name, rather than a word with a meaning, iyswim.

But I don't think its an awful combination that will scar your child for life or anything .

December is Winter

But it doesn't matter anyway. Autumn is a nice name

Actually you're incorrect winter isn't until the end of December

It's too descriptive. Autumn wren. Winter robin. Spring sparrow. Summer starling...

Erm December is winter

Winter starts on the 21st of December. Google says so

Yes December 21st was when winter started. She was born way before then. Please educate yourself before trying to make a point!

It's lovely and it would just be Autumn really.

I really love it! And I am generally one for traditional names. But as pp have noted, December is meteorological winter. Early December does qualify as astronomical autumn though www.metoffice.gov.uk/learning/learn-about-the-weather/how-weather-works/seasons/winter/when-does-winter-start

I like the names separately. Not together.

Kids find out middle names as a curiosity/asking and comparing and by seeing it written down... once they knew she was "Autumn Wren" i dont think it'd be soon forgotten and she'd be teased regularly, sorry.

I can see why season names are attractive to people but season names followed by something nature related always brings up the image of a scented candle for me, whereas something like Autumn Jean doesn't

Cool your jets OP. She's gonna get a lifetime of people having this exact conversation with her, after all.

Gorgeous! Really love the combination!

Poor child!! Have you considered Summer Seaweed? Winter Walnut? Spring Wallpaper? Please don't set her up for the teasing and embarrassment. So unfair.

Autumn Violet was our other choice, but would like to save Violet for a future child (if we happen to have a second daughter).

user - not sure if you're aware that Wren is actually used as a name. I'm pretty sure there is no one called Wallpaper, what an odd comment

Sounds like a paint.

I love it, if I'd had a daughter we would have used Wren as a first name. When I had DS 3 we used it as his middle name. Anyway how often do you need to give your full name out.

Autumn Gwen?

Oooh Shaida's own house is nice.

Haha wrong thread!!

Violet is my dd's middle name. I wish I'd used it as her first name or saved it

I love it.

We considered this combination nearly 3 years ago (did go with Autumn though) but decided that on application forms and in adult life it was too twee and could be embarrassing. We imagined applying for a top end job and while most are not prejudiced there may be a few who with form opinions before meeting her so we went for a different (still nature based) middle name. Go for it though if YOU like it and think it suits your baby.
