I'm having a girl after three sons she is due September and I want to call her Autumn other half does not like the name and suggested we call her Dayna 🤦‍♀️
The other options I have are which we both said are nice .
Emilia
Faye
Scarlett
But I still prefer Autumn her middle name will be lily or Rose.
What do you guys prefer please I don't want to her to be four in the class kind of name but also not to eccentric.
Something pretty but unique yes it's impossible I know

Season names are awful in my opinion. Lily and Rose are much nicer. I’m a very judgmental person though.

MsMcGonagall · 18/04/2020 16:10

I know 2 teenage Autumns and I think its a lovely name.

Of your other choices my favourite is Scarlett.

Then Faye. Not a fan of Emilia

I like Autumn. There is an Autumn in the Royal family if anyone says anything snobby.

(Well there was but they are divorcing, but the point still stands)

I quite like Autumn, but if DP doesn't like it you can't use it.

Your other names are all nice. I think I like Scarlett best.

Not sure about colour name and flower middle name though. Scarlett Rose sounds like a stripper or a type of paint.

Faye is nice and really underused.

Prefer Emily to Emilia and a bit popular for me.

Pipandmum · 18/04/2020 16:12

I have an Autumn in my family too - she's three.

MurrayTheMonk · 18/04/2020 16:12

I really like it!

marriedtoboris · 18/04/2020 16:13

I have an Autumn. Have heard of others but have never met one. I (obviously) think it is a beautiful name but your do doesn't like it.

ForestYeti · 18/04/2020 16:15

Absolutely love Autumn I wanted it for my girls but exh wouldn’t agree to it

Elouera · 18/04/2020 16:17

I like all the names except Faye and Dayna. Dayna reminds me of the character Dayna Skully in the X files!

Although she will be born in Autumn in the northern hemisphere, she may not always live here. Not that its really a reason to not choose it. If you like natural names, I also like Daisy, Willow and Brooke.

maria860 · 18/04/2020 16:17

I love Autumn I don't know why I just haven't heard of another Autumn.
My DP said it's a dull name as he hates the season ha that's all he said about it..off the list he prefers Faye but a middle name for Faye is very hard I've tried to find one.

@flamingo that's why I liked the name I saw her name in the paper 😂

Autumn Rose is a beautiful name. A shame your husband doesn't like it. Scarlett would be my next choice.

maria860 · 18/04/2020 16:26

I love Autumn Rose too it's a beautiful name I don't know why he dislikes it. We agreed a boys name within five minutes so I'm looking for alternatives.

OnlyJudyCanJudgeMe · 18/04/2020 16:30

Faye Rose is fine. No one ever uses middle names apart from on paperwork and no one outside the immediate family know them anyway.

maria860 · 18/04/2020 16:37

So do you prefer Faye ?

OP posts:
OnlyJudyCanJudgeMe · 18/04/2020 16:40

Out of that list, yes.

Blursula · 18/04/2020 17:02

I love the name Autumn and obviously your due date fits it nicely! Personally I find every other person currently gives Rose as a middle name though, which for me has made it feel a bit less special. I love Scarlet too and Faye is quite underused.

maria860 · 18/04/2020 17:22

Yes I think rose is very popular now maybe Grace instead of Rose

OP posts:
RedandBluebox · 18/04/2020 17:30

I really like the name! Use it if you can

Poorlyweasels · 18/04/2020 17:38

I love the name Autumn. DH vetoed it because DD was born in the spring.

Wouldn't go with Rose or Lily as a middle name though. Too nouny.

maria860 · 18/04/2020 17:47

I think I can sway him maybe with a little begging Smile

OP posts:
Ingridla · 18/04/2020 17:49

I think Autumn is a lovely name

maria860 · 18/04/2020 17:49

What would you choose as a middle name with Autumn then instead of Rose I'm open to anything else
