Believe it or not, autumn boasts a range of gorgeous baby names for girls and boys alike!

As the leaves start falling and you make your preparation for the winter months ahead, have a look at our top list if you're after something seasonal to name your little one.

Girls autumn baby names

Aurelia

Aurelia means 'golden', and has been popular since the Roman Empire.

Bramble

Yes, like a blackberry bush - or the gin cocktail!

Hazel

A steady favourite, but this one definitely screams 'autumn'. It calls to mind the gathering of hazelnuts to store over winter, which is what humans did before we had supermarkets.

Amber

Again, golden and orangey colours always remind you of autumn!

Scarlett

Reddish-brown for this timeless favourite.

Persephone

The famous wife of Hades, and the goddess of vegetation, who started the whole season thing in the first place.

Jora

This means 'autumn rain' in Hebrew - and could work as a shout-out to your favourite Game of Thrones guy!

Rhea

This lovely name means 'a flowing stream', tying in with the autumnal woodland theme.

October

If you're brave enough, October is easily the most autumnal month, what with Halloween and everything.

Laurel

A nice twist on the name Laura, and is also a beautiful tree.

Boys autumn baby names

Wheatley

Like the harvesting of golden wheat.

Asher

Like Ash trees.

Rusty

Again with the warm, reddish hues.

Forrest

For a baby you just know is going to be an adventurer.

Ash

Bonfires, Guy Fawkes, evenings curled in front of the fireplace...

Lennox

This Scottish name is linked to the elm tree, which loses its leaves in the fall.

Cormac

The Irish boys' name meaning 'tree trunk' and 'charioteer' is popular in Celtic mythology, and sounds rather autumnal.

Aki

This literally means 'autumn' in Japanese. What more could you want?

Griffin

This means 'prince', but we think it sounds like a mythical fiery autumnal animal.

Jack

Like Jack-o-lantern... get it?

Oakley

Autumn is for sure the spotlight season for trees.
