In your opinion, which is worse? The cliche of naming a fall baby [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], or an [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] born in another season?
I could ask the same question of [name_f]Spring[/name_f], [name_f]Summer[/name_f], and [name_u]Winter[/name_u], of course, but ours is due in [name_f]October[/name_f].
Honestly, I wouldnât really bat an eye either way. [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] has become coommon enough that I just think of it as a name, not necessarily a declaration of a birthday. Although I guess it would help friends and acquaintances remember her birthday, which could be useful
I donât see a problem with either one. Both [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]âs Iâve known were born in [name_f]February[/name_f], but I wouldnât have thought it was weird if they had been born during the fall either. The only [name_f]April[/name_f] Iâve known was born in [name_f]April[/name_f] and the only [name_f]Spring[/name_f] Iâve known was born in [name_f]Spring[/name_f].
So I donât see a real problem with either, but I prefer when the name doesnât line up with the time of year. âWe picked [name_f]Summer[/name_f] because you wereâŚborn in summerâ âWe named you [name_u]August[/name_u]âŚbecause you were born in [name_u]August[/name_u].â Maybe itâs me but it just feels so generic when they line up.
An [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] born in another season, definitely. Once knew one born just after [name_u]Christmas[/name_u], and she was as bizarre as her name choice was for me⌠why should someone carry the name of a season with her that she has no special connection (e.g. being born in it) to?
Agreed. The thought of someone born in winter, spring, or summer being named [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] is quite strange to me, actually. I donât see how it would be cliched or generic to name an autumn-born daughter [name_f]Autumn[/name_f].
I love the name [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]! When I meet an [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], I tend to see it as just a name rather than a season. I wouldnât think it was weird either way, and [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] could be born any time of the year!
I think either is fine. It is quite likely that sheâll occasionally be asked if she were born in [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], but thatâs not the end of the world.
If you like [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], I think you can use it for a baby born in any month, especially if you tell her why you chose the name so that she has an answer for curious questioners.
I wouldnât at all expect an [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] to be born in [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]. In the same way I wouldnât think it was weird for someone named [name_m]Austin[/name_m] to be born in Chicago, or someone named [name_u]Hunter[/name_u] to have never gone hunting.
One of my favorite names is [name_u]June[/name_u], both because of how it sounds and because itâs my favorite month. I would absolutely use it for a baby named in [name_u]December[/name_u].
I donât think that either option is bad. If you want to name your child [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] (or any of the seasons) then you should, regardless of when theyâre born. I love [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] by the way! Itâs a beautiful name!
