It sounds daft and may be embarrassing for your children In their late primary years when bullying over silly things can peak. Some people are being disingenuous claiming they can't see any possible issue whatsoever with it. If you have a clutch of other children so that it is Autumn, Jenny, Billy, Mary, George and April, that dilutes the effect somewhat.

Yes they are lovely names. I honestly can't see a reason why not xx

They're your kids, I understand asking if people like a name but you are asking if you can call them those names... You can call kids pretty much anything (only in rare cases has judges stepped in) and if your kids don't learn to like it they can change them.

My suggestion is Autumn and Summer (or Winter for a boy).

You can do whatever the hell you want to do.

Yeah I think they are fine! The only Autumn I know was born in June and nobody seems to think anything of it!

I wouldn't.

GreatFuckability · 17/03/2017 06:35

Yes. I don't see a problem at all.

Yes, it's fine! Both lovely nature names, and I don't think it matters what time of year they were born either. They do both begin with the same letter but have different sounds.

You can as long as you don't mind people commenting on it.

hoddtastic · 17/03/2017 11:48

no

Autumn and April sound fab. What about Willow? Autumn and Willow also has a nice ring to it Smile

No I think it looks a bit tacky

Notmyrealname85 · 18/03/2017 01:17

Sounds like you're commemorating when they were conceived :/

I think they go well together. I also think calling other peoples name choices "a bit tacky" is a bit tacky...
