I am liking these names what do people think?

Phoebe Autumn
Cleo Autumn
Lucy Autumn
Zoe Autumn

Like Autumn as a first name but baby won't be born in Autumn

Austin Sidney
Flynn Sidney
William Sidney

I also like Sidney as a first name but don't know whether we could go with it. Any more suggestions are appreciated

Your girls names all end in an open vowel sound which makes them mush in to Autumn. Not a huge issue because middle names are rarely said aloud but it does make it quite strange to say (for me anyway). I suppose Phoebe is the best of them, the ee at the end is quite different.

William Sidney is the best of your boys in my opinion, I don't really like the other two (no reason). Sidney Flynn sounds good though.

I actually love them all
I’d go with what works best with your surname, taking into account initials for the girl as Autumn starts with an A

Fulltimemummy85 · 08/06/2019 09:38

Last name begins with a p, Zap sounds pretty cool. Although I don't think any would put me off ☺️.

I love Sidney Flyn but I arnt sure we are brave enough x

How about Imogen Autumn?

Out of your girls names I love Phoebe.

Boys William Sidney

Sidney is a great first name, I love Sid as a nn, and it works for tiny babies and adults. It’s a classic and won’t age like more unique names do.

Fulltimemummy85 · 08/06/2019 09:45

I love Imogen and nn Immie , dh hates it. Generally we like old fashioned or traditional names. Cleo is slightly different for us 😂

I like all your girl names. I would go for Zoe. Flynn and Austin aren’t very traditional or classic, though. I like Sidney. I would put that as a first name.

Fulltimemummy85 · 08/06/2019 09:53

We also like Harriet as a mn after my grandad

Sorry I should have said names that have been around for a while. I agree Flynn isnt, I just saw Tangled and fell in love with the name 😂

Lucy and William
My nephew has the initials ZAP. Lucky thing!

Sophronia · 09/06/2019 10:06

Cleo and Austin

bridgetreilly · 09/06/2019 10:08

Phoebe Harriet and William Sidney

Sexnotgender · 09/06/2019 10:10

Phoebe is lovely.

Imogen is great but hate Immie as a nn, so wet and non descript.

William for a boy.

Fulltimemummy85 · 09/06/2019 10:47

Zap would be amazing initials. My husband really dislikes Imogen so not an option.

Like Autumn but not as a mn. It's 'stronger' and more stand alone than all of the names you've put before it imo.
Love Sidney, but again don't see it as a mn kind of name.

Astronica · 10/06/2019 08:19

I like Autumn best of all as a first name, and I would use it especially for a baby not born in Autumn. I don't get why an Autumn should be born in Autumn at all. I also like all your other options, but my favourite is Cleo Autumn.

I like William then Flynn for a boy. Not so keen on Austin. All fine with Sidney.

SnowyAlpsandPeaks · 10/06/2019 09:49

Zoe is a horrible name- only because everyone I’ve ever met has been a complete bitch and not very bright. Oven obviously had bad luck! Lol

I like Harriet, Cleo and Imogen. Autumn is pretty I don’t think it matters that she won’t be born in autumn. What about:-

Willow
Eden
Clarabelle
Annabelle
Bethany
Clover
Daisy
Esme
Genevieve
Hattie
Hallie
Harper
Josie
Ettie
Lorna
Laura
Nancy
Nellie
Ophelia
Piper
Reese
Elsie
Thea
Violet
Hazel

Boys names:- I love Austin and Sidney as a first name. Or you could have Sydney for a girl........

Fulltimemummy85 · 10/06/2019 18:33

I love Piper and it would be my first choice if our last name didn't start with a P.

Actually the only Zoe I ever knew was a bitch at school 🙈

I like the fact people are saying Autumn can be born in another season. I always got slated for it when thinking about my youbger daughters name.

Fulltimemummy85 · 10/06/2019 18:34

Some lovely options there to show my dh thank you, Ettie is my favourite ❤️

I like Cleo- it's an alternative spelling to Clio/Kleio who is the Greek Muse of History or short for Cleopatra so it's probably equally as old fashioned as some other names you have.

Austin Sidney is the one I like best too, although I guess it sounds a little like a car?

Fulltimemummy85 · 11/06/2019 20:25

I had a Clio, awful car 😂
