Once August turns into September, autumn is officially upon us, and we for one cannot get enough of this season of crisp mornings, fallen leaves, cozy nights in and pumpkin spiced everything.
If you on top of all if this is also expecting a little bundle of joy right about now, sure you have yet another reason to embrace this truly lovely time of year.
And if you are stuck for a little inspiration when it comes to naming your little fall babe, let us help you out with some gorgeous – and perfectly seasonal – monikers to chose from:
1. Ash (or Asher)
These robust names come from the Middle English word ‘asche’ – referring to the tree, of course. In other words; perfect for a fall baby!
2. Aurelia
Aurelia, which is a name of Latin origin, means “golden” – and if this time a year is anything, it is golden, no?
3. Autumn
Well, duh!
4. Bruno
Sleek, stylish, and VERY European, this Portuguese name means ‘brown’ – making it perfect for this time a year.
5. Hazel
A lovely name taken from nature, this old fashioned moniker is derived from the tree of the same name.
6. Hunter
While many will think Hunter is a very boy-ish name, in recent years it has actually been chose by parents of both boys and girls, making it a great unisex choice. The name itself is of Old English origin, and the meaning of Hunter is “hunter, pursuer”.
7. Linden
Another popular unisex name, this one means “linden tree hill”.
8. Olive
Referring, of course, to “olive tree”, this is a very pretty nature name which would be perfect for your autumn baby.
9. Rhea
Another moniker inspired by nature, this greek girl’s name means “a flowing stream” and is taken from the earth mother of all gods.
10. Rowan
The name of a tree with red berries and that means “little redhead.” Works equally well for boys and girls. CUTE!
11. Roux (pronounced ‘Roo’)
This gorgeous moniker comes from a Latin word meaning russet or brownish red, and we think it is also all sorts of cute.
12. Sapphire
The birthstone for September, this name is bright, dazzling and beautiful.
13. Willow
An ancient tree that is believed to possess magical powers, Willow is a lovely and graceful name.
