For seasonal names, I don't think it matters, but it would be kind of neat to match. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-names#post-1740968 Sat, 05 Jul 2014 10:01:49 +0000 turquoisemama 1740968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could always go based on when the baby was conceived :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-names#post-1740961 Sat, 05 Jul 2014 09:49:02 +0000 Mae 1740961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughters middle name is June and she was born in May. Didn't occur to me that would be weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-names#post-1740949 Sat, 05 Jul 2014 08:56:49 +0000 loveisstrange 1740949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. My daughters middle name is June, even though she was born in April. She's named after her great grandmother. We also very seriously considered naming her Autumn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-names#post-1740937 Sat, 05 Jul 2014 08:19:50 +0000 Kimberlybee 1740937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I don't think they have to coincide to when they were born. My first thought would be there is a special reason or meaning behind the name. I know 2 ladies named June and both were named after their parent's anniversary month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-names#post-1740886 Sat, 05 Jul 2014 02:19:21 +0000 Snowdrop 1740886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it does sometimes. I know of a summer may and she was born in winter. That is a lot of different seasons! But I agree, names like april are common enough not to be season specific. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-names#post-1740883 Sat, 05 Jul 2014 01:41:53 +0000 Crystal 1740883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it matters too much... That wouldn't be my first thought when I heard a seasonal name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-names#post-1740879 Sat, 05 Jul 2014 01:38:23 +0000 MoonMoon 1740879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted other-some seasonal names are so common, like April, they can be used for anyone. But some sound a lot more tied to their season to me, like Summer.</p> <p>We considered Leo as a boy name, but decided against it because of when he'd be born. Although writing this out makes my logic sound a little weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-names#post-1740877 Sat, 05 Jul 2014 01:25:15 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1740877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I don't think it needs to coincide. When I hear the names Winter, Autumn, Summer... it doesn't cross my mind to think, "oh they must've been a summer baby" or anything like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-names#post-1740873 Sat, 05 Jul 2014 01:12:36 +0000 Skadi 1740873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It varies by name. April has become such a common name that I wouldn't think anything of it if she was born another time of year. But as a general statement, I do think they should coincide. Most seasonal names are sufficiently rare enough that there is some expectation of that by society. That said, if you really love a name, use it anyway.</p> <p>I'm probably biased because our daughter's middle name is Winter and she was born in January. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-names#post-1740871 Sat, 05 Jul 2014 01:07:29 +0000 Meowkers 1740871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like a handful of seasonal names such as Summer, April, June, Autumn and August. But I was wondering, do seasonal names need to correspond to when the baby is born? Is it silly to name a baby born in winter, Summer? </p>
