207.0. "Named after a month" by TWEED::E_FINKELSEN () Mon Apr 11 1988 19:29

    Anyone want to contribute names that were chosen because of the
    time of year the child was born?
    
    I knew of someone that named her little girl December Lynn (obviously
    born in December!) But I've always thought it sounded pretty.

    I know someone who's name is April (guess when she was born ;-)).
    She likes her name but said that it was very confusing when she
    was little and learning the months.  She kept telling the teacher
    that it was her name, not a month.

    My cousin is Barbara June.  Actually, she was born in July, but
    she was DUE in June.

    IF I HAVE A GIRL I WANT TO CALL HER SUMMER.  MY FIANCE AND I CHOSE
    THAT NAME BECAUSE IT'S OUR FAVORITE SEASON OF THE YEAR.  I THINK
    IT'S A TIME WHEN PEOPLE HAPPY AND FREE SPIRITED.  I HOPE TO ENJOY
    A BABY GIRL AS MUCH AS I DO SUMMER.

207.5AugustSWAM1::THOMPSOND_SHWed Apr 22 1992 00:166
    I have a friend who named her son August.  I guess it could be
    considered a derivative of Augustus or the French Auguste.  The name
    fits her son well, and like she says, everyone knows how to spell it.

207.6Another one - sort of...AMCUCS::MEHRINGTue Apr 28 1992 23:5210
I was at the park the other day and overheard a mother
calling her two girls... one was Amber and the other
was Autumn. Different.

I also have an ex-aunt named April, whose mother's name
was May, but can't comment on how they felt about the
names...

FWIW,

207.7Amber, April, May, June and AugustCIVIC::FAHELAmalthea Celebras/Silver UnicornWed Apr 29 1992 12:4010
    I knew a baby named Amber.  It is becoming slightly popular.  I've also
    known a few girls named April, and one named June.  My Mother-in-law's
    middle name is May.  August is used occasionally as a boys' name.
    
    Of the above people I know, none of them mind their names at all.
    
    And the show "Married...With Children" had a character on it named
    "April May June"  ("My parents have a sick sense of humor")

207.8RTOEU::KRICKSThere is no place like home....Wed May 06 1992 13:159
    I read an article in the magazine "Victoria" a few months back that
    said during Victorian times they loved names in themes
    (months,gems,flowers et cetera). For instance:
    
    Months = April, May, June 
    Gemstones = Pearl, Ruby, Opal
    Flowers = Rose, Daisy
