We've just found out we're expecting in late Sept/early October 🥰 baby boy name is already chosen, but literally starting with a blank slate for girl's names. I love autumn, it's my favourite season, so love the idea of having a name related in word/sound/meaning to the season and would love suggestions. I like the name Autumn - pretty straightforward - but DH isn't keen 😔

Another for Hazel and Amber. Both on our list. Also Robin/Robyn. Maybe something celestial like Luna, Celeste

Selene means moon, which feels autumnal to me.

Crisanti/ Crisanta - Autumn is the season for chrysanthemums.
Opal (the birth stone of October).
Safira (sapphire is September's birthstone; Safira means 'blue').
Garnet - nice deep red stone.
Persephone - associated with the changing season.
Tess/ Tessa - from Greek word meaning harvester.
Aurelia - means golden/tawny.
Keziah - same meaning as Cassia - both refer to the acacia tree, aka Chinese cinnamon (both real cinnamon and ground cassia can legally be sold as cinnamon in the US and very few people can tell the difference).
Orla - means golden princess (Irish name).
Astraia / Astraea - the constellation Virgo, goddess of justice.

Erica (means Heather in Latin)
Equinox (I know this is not a conventional name, and could also be applied to spring)

Briar
Octavia

The thing is, unless you call her Autumn, I doubt anyone will think that the name evokes that season. People don’t generally think that hard.

thatmustbenigelwiththebrie · 25/01/2020 07:53

Doesn't Octavia mean 8? Ie August?

MrsBertBibby · 25/01/2020 08:03

Bryony

What’s your boy name out of interest @bluemoon2468

Whatsyourflava · 25/01/2020 08:06

I really love autumn ❤️

ChaosMoon · 25/01/2020 08:16

@thatmustbenigelwiththebrie October was named after Augustus Cesar, whose original name was Octavian.

Family name: Octavius.
Female form: Octavia.

@Whatsyourflava Franklin - unrelated, has been my favourite boy's name for years and luckily DH loves it too

Heather?

If just use Autumn as a middle name if your dh isn’t keen.

What other names do you like and do they suit Autumn as a middle name?

ilovemykids5 · 25/01/2020 14:01

Willow
Amber

Beautiful names

GrannyHaddock · 25/01/2020 16:18

Fallon?

bluemoon2468 · 25/01/2020 17:21

@Calendars middle names are already chosen as family names - Rose for a girl (I think Autumn Rose would be so lovely but DH just isn't on board 🙄)

I have a thread on here about combination names/made up names, so thought I’d share one I found on a baby name website years and years ago.

Autara. Autumn/ Tara. I loved it. Could you take the Au bit and play around? Might come up with something that works and that DH likes while keeping the essence of the Autumn theme.
