The most cosy-sounding baby names for autumn
The leaves are falling, and the baby names are calling...
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.
