She was named after her grandmother (ex-stepfather's mother) who died before she was born. She was due in a different month but was a preemie so ended up coming in her name month. It's a tad awkward but with the story, fits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonmonth-names#post-2669351 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 14:00:28 +0000 littlebug 2669351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: Agreed. An April born in April is just not my style. A January born in April is cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonmonth-names#post-2669318 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 12:56:48 +0000 ValentineMommy 2669318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>August was on our short list for DS2 (and he was born in July). We just liked the name and it didn't matter when his birthday month/season was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonmonth-names#post-2659690 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 01:56:39 +0000 birdofafeather 2659690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonmonth-names#post-2659667 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 23:46:00 +0000 daniellemybelle 2659667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know an August not born in August and I think it's a great name :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonmonth-names#post-2659582 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 20:21:55 +0000 skipra 2659582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do like some of these names, June and Summer in particular but I don't think I'd ever use them because I wouldn't know if they should or shouldn't be used to match the birthday. Growing up I knew an April, born in September and I thought it was so weird! (Perspective as a kid - I don't think it's weird now) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonmonth-names#post-2659577 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 20:05:48 +0000 erinbaderin 2659577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's better if they weren't born in the month/season - if they are it feels a bit too cutesy, if they're not it's just a cute name that you liked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonmonth-names#post-2659558 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 19:11:36 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2659558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has a month name and he was not born in that month. We decided on the name long before we conceived, but I am not sure we would have changed it if his name month was his birth month.</p> <p>I really like seasonal/ month names. :heart: January, Summer and Autumn for girls </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonmonth-names#post-2659557 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 18:55:18 +0000 MrsSCB 2659557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked the name August a lot. My son was born in August so my husband thought it would be weird, I thought it didn't make a difference. We ended up naming him something else, but I think seasonal/month names work any time of year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonmonth-names#post-2659556 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 18:48:49 +0000 autumnleaves 2659556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like season and month names - don't think it matters when they are born to be given the name. Autumn was on a short list no matter what but we ended up with 2 boys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonmonth-names#post-2659545 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 18:12:29 +0000 mamafern 2659545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Microscope: I knew a girl named Tuesday, and thought that was very cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonmonth-names#post-2659542 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 18:09:19 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2659542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know someone who named her son August and was born that month. I also know an Autumn born in May. Day of the week names are cute, and they move around each year so it isn't a big deal if you don't like it super matchy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonmonth-names#post-2659538 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 17:59:15 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2659538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a Summer born in November. I liked the name April when I was younger, but I wouldn't use it if my baby was born in that month or use a seasonal name if they were born in that season! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonmonth-names#post-2659533 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 17:53:38 +0000 mamafern 2659533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Silly name question. I want to see other perspectives. I've always loved the name "January" for a girl, and "August" for a boy. Autumn &amp; Winter aren't on my list, but are along the same lines. Do you think it matters that the baby isn't born during this month/season - or, if the baby is born during this time, does that make it worse? :silly: </p>
