I love April
May and
JuneHowever, I wouldn't give these names to triplets. June/Junia is my favorite out of the three. However, as my daughter's name is Julia, I guess June is ruled out :-)March would make a great mn, too.I don't care for August, though.September, October, and November would be unique. I might just be tempted to use one of these if the baby was due at an appropriate time.Lass

Yes, I would, but only if the child (or pet, for that matter) were actually born/adopted or conceived in the said month. I apply the same philosophy to astrological names (Leo, Astraea [Virgo], etc) too, btw.For girls, I like April, May, and June. For boys, I like August, March, and maybe January (see Janus and Gennaro). For both, I like July.MirandaEDIT: Stupidly put July in with the girls

How do you pronounce Astraea?

I guess either as-traye-uh (as in 'aye') or as-TRÉ-uh (that's the best way to describe the long e sound which doesn't exist in English.)

I don't know for sureI used to say as-STRAY-ah, but it could be as-STRAY-ee-ah, as-STRAH-ee-ah, or something else.I asked over on the Name Facts Board: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/arcview.php?id=109379&board=gen. Someone there may know for sure.MirandaEDIT: + Name Facts Board post

I like April, May, & June. I had an Aunt Mae. I've thought about using April in honour of my Opa who's bday was in April. If I had a boy I name him Augustus, it sort of a month name or at least based on one.
