🐚 Seasonal Name Questions

Based on this chart, would it be strange to have the following names to represent each season? Would it be better to use all seasonal names in different languages ([name_f]Talvi[/name_f], [name_f]Suvi[/name_f], etc.) or use only one seasonal name & then use other parts of each season to represent them?

[name_f]Spring[/name_f] - [name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_f]Mai[/name_f] or [name_f]May[/name_f]
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] - [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Juni[/name_f], [name_f]Junia[/name_f] or [name_f]Juno[/name_f]
[name_f]Autumn[/name_f] - [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] - Шinikᴀ

My rule on seasonal names:

Spring, [name_f]Summer[/name_f], [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] & [name_u]Winter[/name_u] - no
[name_u]June[/name_u], [name_u]July[/name_u] & [name_u]August[/name_u] - no
Anything else - fine

I’m a little confused as to what your asking? Are you asking if it’s ok to use multiple seasonal names? Like ‘[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]’ [name_u]Or[/name_u] have multiple children named seasonal names like sisters named [name_f]Summer[/name_f], [name_u]Winter[/name_u] & [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]? (Forgive me if I totally misunderstood I’m Running on 2 hours of sleep today!)

If it’s the latter I wouldn’t use all seasonal names, (aka [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_f]Summer[/name_f] & [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]) but I would say a sibset of [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_u]June[/name_u] & [name_u]Harvest[/name_u] would be fine

I love all of them, with the exception of [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]. It’s not really my jam, but [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is adorable, and [name_f]Juno[/name_f] and [name_f]Junia[/name_f] are :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:.

@ethelmary Thank you. I just wasn’t sure which approach to take. This helps firm up my decision on this a bit more.

@katkabet As they are going to be MNs and special months to me, would that be an exception?

@LibelluleClaire Multiple children with seasonally-related names. The last part of your reply definitely helps.

@Ellory [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] is a bit more mundane to me in comparison to the rest of my names, but the only other [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] name I’ve found I really like is [name_f]Jora[/name_f]. Unfortunately I’m not sure how much it fits with my other names.

@katkabet Thank you! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I think it would be a bit matchy if you used them all as first names but as a mix as first or middles, I think they work

@Greyblue Thank you! That sounds like an excellent idea. I know a couple of them are going to be MNs for sure, but I wasn’t sure of the possibility of having the other two as FNs together.

In my opinion, [name_f]Summer[/name_f] and [name_u]Winter[/name_u] are lovely names, but it’s really obviously seasonal. [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] I love, and I don’t know but it just doesn’t scream “I’m named after a season!!” as much as the others. [name_u]July[/name_u] and [name_u]August[/name_u] for girls are really seasonal but [name_u]August[/name_u] for a boy isn’t so much. I also love [name_u]June[/name_u] for a girl and it’s beautiful. I’ll make a list

Too obvious: [name_f]Summer[/name_f], [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_u]July[/name_u], [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_f]April[/name_f], and [name_u]August[/name_u] (f)

I love: [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Mae[/name_f], and [name_u]August[/name_u] (m)

@eleanore3 Thank you. I do love the more subtle nature and season names so this makes plenty of sense. I agree on [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], for some reason it doesn’t scream “I’m named after a season!!” as much to me either.

I think it’s because [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] isn’t the “main name” for its season. Since almost everyone calls it Fall, [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] isn’t as strong. Whereas [name_f]Summer[/name_f] and [name_u]Winter[/name_u] are just said all the time and it’s impossible to ignore the season name.

I really like [name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_f]Juno[/name_f] and [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]
I really like the portuguese version of spring and autumn: [name_f]Primavera[/name_f] (peer-muh-vair-uh) and outono (auw- tho-nU)

@Mar Thank you! [name_f]Primavera[/name_f] is great, but it is too tied to an online school in my area and that’s all I can think about when I hear. I hadn’t heard Outono before, but I will be adding it to the list… I really do like it as a more subtle (for my area) variation of [name_f]Autumn[/name_f].

If it’s something like [name_f]Spring[/name_f], [name_f]Summer[/name_f], [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] and [name_u]Winter[/name_u] then I would say no. But if it’s [name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_f]Junia[/name_f], [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] and [name_f]Winika[/name_f] then it’s fine. What about [name_f]Aviva[/name_f], [name_f]Blossom[/name_f], [name_u]Aki[/name_u], [name_f]Jora[/name_f] or [name_f]Apricity[/name_f]?
