I wouldn't.

Foncy87 · 15/03/2017 21:35

I don't think so...sorry!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 15/03/2017 21:37

No!

NuffSaidSam · 15/03/2017 21:40

No, although they're both nice individually

smilingsarahb · 15/03/2017 21:44

Yeah, why not. They'll spend most of there life not referred to as a pair.

stickygotstuck · 15/03/2017 21:46

Yes, without a second thought!

Imaginingdragonsagain · 15/03/2017 21:47

Don't see why not.

RuthB4 · 15/03/2017 22:22

I dont see why you can't!

RuthB4 · 15/03/2017 22:23

It's no different to siblings who have 'themed' names, such as floral, nature or musical names! Go for it!

IvyLeagueUnderTheSea · 15/03/2017 22:24

Only if you promise to go on and have a boy called Winter or Tuesday.

NellWilsonsWhiteHair · 15/03/2017 22:29

I think it's fine.

DramaAlpaca · 15/03/2017 22:31

They are a bit 'themey', but if you like them together then why not?

DPotter · 15/03/2017 22:34

They could both have the middle name 'budget ' !
I have a problem with names of months and seasons being used as names for people, after meeting a young child with the name of a season, whose birthday was not in that particular season.
All I can say is - please don't

Ellieboolou27 · 15/03/2017 22:38

You can but I wouldn't

rosy71 · 15/03/2017 22:38

Yes, but only if they were born in Autumn and April.

MsJolly · 15/03/2017 22:41

No sorry

Abetes · 15/03/2017 22:43

No

regularbutpanickingabit · 15/03/2017 22:47

No. Not least because they have the same initials and that is beyond irritating.

1horatio · 15/03/2017 23:07

Are they born in Autumn and April?

Yes, sure :)

What about Avril or Flora?

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 15/03/2017 23:15

Of course you can.

MoreThanUs · 15/03/2017 23:16

Yes

thebakerwithboobs · 15/03/2017 23:18

I lose count of the number of threads I've commented on where people say you can only give month/season names if the child will be born then but it's just silly. I was born in June. My name is January. I was called January as my parents, for various reasons, saw me as a new beginning. I genuinely cannot recall ever being asked if I was born in January when I give my name.

They are great names OP. I have heard plenty worse!

GinSwigmore · 15/03/2017 23:39

I think Autumn and Avril sound better.
I love Autumn but would never have used it on my Spring, Summer and Winter babies (sorry ^January) Wink

BasicBetty · 16/03/2017 13:34

Yes, why not. Both lovely names.

user1489672271 · 16/03/2017 13:53

Yeah, I think that's fine Smile
