46 Gorgeous Baby Names Inspired By Fall
Autumn is a lovely time of year, when a plentiful crop is reaped. We all look forward to warm soups, fresh baked products, fall sports, and the beautiful, vivid foliage when the days and nights cool down.
Have you considered fall baby names if your baby is due in the fall? These exquisite, one-of-a-kind options range from conventional to modern.
In Nature
1. Autumn
One of the most beautiful fall baby names, which for some reason or other has gotten the rep of being a hippy classic. Pshh. Autumn replaced the word Harvest mid 16th Century and has quickly become more popular than Summer.
2. Amber
The gorgeous fossilized tree resin, found in jewelry. I chose it because of its availability in a vivid array of autumn-hued colors.
3. Aster
Of the Aster flower, which blooms in early fall.
4. Hawk (or Hawke)
A strong, unique name; every fall, hundreds of thousands.
5. Raven
A highly intelligent bird, revered as spiritual figure who forages on a rich assortment of insects, cereal grains, berries, fruit, small animals, and food waste. Harvest … bird-style.
6. Wheatley (or Wheatleigh)
“From the wheat meadow.” Falls into one of the more poetic and elegant fall baby names — making me think of baked goods, warm homemade bread, sugar and spice.
