Month baby challenge 🗓

General Name Discussion
1

We see month names all the time - April, May, June, August… but there are also months that aren’t so commonly used as names that need appreciation. March, September and November I think are especially beautiful, and can really add a lot of feeling + meaning to a name!

Challenge: Name 12 kids, each name including a different month of the year.

  • doesn’t have to be a sibset/be matchy
  • can be any gender of name
  • month can be first or middle name

I’ll go first:

Emeline January
Bo February
Imogen March
April Clementine
Beatrice May
Clemence June
Aviva July
August Celandine
Marnie September
October Inez
Lyra November
Ruthie December
