Autumn

What are your honest opinions on the name [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]?

This is a name that has always stuck with me and I’ve only met someone with this name once. I love the season and it’s when I’m most creative and at peace. It just encompasses nothing but positive vibes to me. That being said, my naming style has moved away from this name as I’ve discovered other names but I think of it from time to time and wonder if I ever would use it. SO I’m curious to see how the general public receives this name.

So what do you think of the name? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you have middles that you like with it? Or similar names as suggestions?

I actually really like it. I had heard of it long ago, but I didn’t think about until I loved the name [name_u]Auden[/name_u] and wanted to find something that sounded similar. And the funny thing about the name [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] is: it is unlikely you will meet an [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], and if you do, you certainly won’t meet more! And yet it’s in the Top 100 and has been for a long time. Strange, that.

Names that are similar to [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]: in sound, [name_u]Auden[/name_u] and [name_f]Audrey[/name_f]. In meaning, [name_f]Summer[/name_f], [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_m]Aki[/name_m] (means born in autumn), [name_f]Jora[/name_f] (means autumn rain), [name_m]Sarad[/name_m] (means born in autumn), [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] (a herb that harvests in autumn), [name_u]Sage[/name_u] (another herb that harvests in autumn) and every other nature name that relates to the season.

Middles that I like with [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]:

That’s what I can think of on the top of my head. I hope this helps!

Thank you for the suggestions! That is a strange thing. I saw [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] was in the top 100 yet I’ve only met 1 in my life. I’ve never even heard “Oh I have a friend named [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]”. Maybe there’s a town where all of the [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]'s live and that’s why we never see them xD

I really like [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]! I haven’t met maybe…well, any. It reminds me of colorful mountainside landscapes of trees, and clear lakes, campfires, canoes, moonlight, corns talks, pumpkins, crisp air and breezes, and [name_f]Apple[/name_f] cider. The downside for me is the lack of nicknames, but most people could get past that - I mean, it’s only two syllables to begin with. When I was toying with [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] briefly, I fell in love with [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] as a combo. [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] seems to make the images have of [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] even more vibrant.

[i]I just adore [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]. Its my favorite season name and I love the image it gives. I once read a book with a character named [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and I have always think that its a wonderful combo.

My DH loves this name. He has tried for years to get me on board, but I am just not a fan. I also know 3 people who have used it within the last 3 years.
I have said I would possibly use it as a MN.

I don’t know why I’m not really a fan of [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]. I just doesn’t “wow” me I guess. It’s not a bad name, it’s just neutral for me. I do like it over [name_f]Summer[/name_f] though.

Such beautiful imagery! It’s exactly why I like the name :slight_smile: a lack of nicknames is actually a plus for me as I’m not really fond of nicknames. The ones I do use have zero to do with the persons actually name xD
[name_f]Autumn[/name_f] [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] is lovely! I really like the idea of a name that accentuates [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]'s colours and imagery.

I have always been a fan of [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]. It’s a really pretty name.
For a middle I like Dahl from your signature. [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] Dahl sounds lovely to me.

I also suggest [name_u]Auden[/name_u] or [name_u]August[/name_u]

[name_f]Autumn[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is lovely! It’s a pretty popular combo from what I’ve seen online. I really like [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] :3

Completely understandable, it’s definitely not everyone’s style for sure.

[name_f]Autumn[/name_f] and [name_f]Summer[/name_f] have always struck me as super hippy or stripper names, honestly. Which is totally subjective, because I know most strippers don’t go by their real names :wink: For some reason, [name_u]Winter[/name_u] is the only season that I consider edgy and ready for use. But then, I’m not into names like [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_m]Arrow[/name_m], [name_m]Asher[/name_m]. Plus, I feel like the punny jokes would be written for her. For any season. Which is what keeps me from using [name_u]Winter[/name_u]. I’d love to see it in the middle spot, that’s where the fun parts go, IMHO.

I didn’t even think of [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] Dahl but I like it :3 [name_u]Auden[/name_u] is appealing to me as well.

That’s understandable! I actually love “hippie” names so that’s no big deal to me :slight_smile: I actually really like [name_u]Sage[/name_u] and [name_m]Asher[/name_m]! I’m completely comfortable using odd names as firsts, I actually prefer it. I do understand the “use odd names in the middle” mentality, it’s just not one DH and I have. Thank you for sharing your opinion, it’s nice to see other trains of thought and to be well informed on how people might view a name :slight_smile:

I love [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]. It’s sweet and cool, and I tend to like nature-y names. I’ve only ever heard of one, so it always surprises me that it is in the top 100. It feels familiar, yet relatively uncommon.

I know three little Autumns. But none of them live near each other. I love the name. It just makes me happy to hear and say it.

[name_f]Autumn[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Autumn[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_f]Autumn[/name_f] [name_f]Greer[/name_f]

I love this name, love the season and everything related to it. The name itself sounds very gentle to me and I associate the season with a rush of energy after a lazy summer and reflection. [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is a nice combination or [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] [name_u]Rain[/name_u].

If you love [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], it is usable, so go for it.

That being said… I would never use it because of how common it seems to be.

[name_f]Autumn[/name_f] is my favorite time of year as well, I love everything about it. The cool breezes, sweaters, pumpkin everything, hayrides, and fires. It is absolutely everything that I love.

I would chose a name that relates to [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], rather than [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] itself.

[name_m]How[/name_m] about:
[name_f]Maple[/name_f]
Amarillo
[name_f]Scarlet[/name_f]
[name_f]Crimson[/name_f]

[name_f]Maple[/name_f] is a front-runner for me, warm maple syrup, crisp red maple leaves, climbing trees, etc.

Good luck!
Best of luck!

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_u]Rain[/name_u] are gorgeous with this name but they’re extremely common to be paired with [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]. Understandably so!

I use [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] quite often on nameberry and I love it.[name_f]Autumn[/name_f] [name_u]Rain[/name_u] is pretty too.

I love the name [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] and [name_u]Winter[/name_u] too.[name_f]Summer[/name_f] has lost. some luster for me.I’m still not sure about [name_f]Spring[/name_f].

[name_f]Autumn[/name_f] is a good if you want something not too classic but not unheard of for a name.

The only problem I have with is it’s similar with other favorites-[name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u]., [name_f]Augusta[/name_f]. You could only use one.For example even for twins I don’t want the too similar.

I really love A names for girls I also like [name_f]Alexx[/name_f], [name_f]Agnes[/name_f], [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] and [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] and [name_f]Azalea[/name_f]. Yes I even like [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] and [name_f]Agatha[/name_f]!

Autumn Annabel is my favorite…
