Her sister is Violet.

Thanks!

Autumn.

Or even Iris? Smile

Autumn!!

I don't particularly like either, but Fern is the better of the two.

Violet is lovely and traditional. Rose or Lily would be fitting for her sister.

Autumn, as I've never liked Fern, sorry

Sophronia · 05/10/2017 09:20

Autumn

Bowsandbugs · 05/10/2017 10:26

Autumn 100%

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 05/10/2017 10:47

I really like Fern.

SupermarketSally · 05/10/2017 10:53

I'm going to say Fern As a mother to 4 year old Autumn whose name is growing in popularity Wink

PandaCat · 05/10/2017 10:54

I prefer Autumn

Scoleah · 05/10/2017 11:00

I like Fearne.
I know a Fearne that has a sister called Tarn. Never heard anyone else with that name either :)

Both lovely. My favourite is Fern - very sweet and feisty.

early30smum · 06/10/2017 10:53

Autumn

RoadrunnerMeepMeep · 06/10/2017 20:30

Fern. My ds would've been a Fern.

Buntysoven · 07/10/2017 01:55

My bump will be a Fern so I'll say Autumn 😂

Smoliver · 07/10/2017 08:50

Autumn and Violet sound lovely together!

ErrolTheDragon · 07/10/2017 08:56

Fern.

Autumn is pleasant-sounding too, but while it is the 'season .... of mellow fruitfulness ' its also the season of mists (and storms). The end of summer.

RainbowHash · 07/10/2017 09:44

I love them both, but I think Fern sounds 'stronger' (and a bit less American)

MikeUniformMike · 07/10/2017 14:59

I like both. Prefer Fern to Fearne.

Yika · 07/10/2017 19:37

Fern. Cute, sassy.

Ropsleybunny · 07/10/2017 19:41

Both are lovely but don't really match with Violet.

RoboticSealpup · 07/10/2017 21:41

Autumn! Fern sounds like a surname.

DramaAlpaca · 07/10/2017 21:57

Fern is lovely. As long as you don't mess about with it & spell it Ferne or, even worse, Fearne. Just Fern is perfect.

I'm not mad on Autumn as a name.
