Seasons name question.........

[melissa31]

My baby is due this winter........I'm talking January! However, I have ALWAYS loved the name Autumn Estelle, and also Summer.
Would this be unacceptable to name my daughter one of these names since she will be born in the winter. (Winter is also a favorite, but the husband says no). Thanks!

Hmm, I think it's fine. It might confuse some people when it comes to remembering her birthday, but I don't think that's such a big deal. I love both Autumn and Summer. Autumn Estelle is too cute.

My daughter wishes her middle name were Winters. It is my husband's grandmother's maiden name. My daughter was born in the fall.

Yeah, I don't think it's too weird. but my husband does! I'll have to talk to him!

January is high summer in Australia where I live so Winter would not be suitable here.

Estelle is very pretty but Autumn would not be a first name choice for me.

Autumn ranked in at #89 last year. I bet that at least half of those little Autumns were not born in the Fall. It's not my personal taste, but since you really love I think you should go for it!

I actually think the irony of a baby born in January being named Summer is pretty cute. It would brighten up your winter. You could think of her as your little bundle of sunshine!

I think these days names and name origins are so flexible that a seasonal name would not be inappropriate no matter when your daughter was born.

go for Autumn

I dont like Autumn but Summer is cute. I bet you wint be the only one out there who has named their child Summer while it is winter. Maybe instead of using a specific season use the name Season that is one of my very favorite names. congrats on the baby!

I really don't see why not. By the time she is born you can say that you've been wishing for Summer all Winter ;)
Winters is a last name on my maternal grandmothers side. I've had past interest in using it as a middle name but it never seems to fit with the first names that I like.
I think Noelle is a fine name to use all year even if not born at Christmas time.
