Re: Autumn & Winter for boys
in reply to a message by Ani
Agree that word names are fair game (and also like softer/more unisex names on boys).
I’ve liked Winter for a boy for a while, nn Win. I wouldn’t use it, but not just for a boy, for either. Middle name needs to be not wordy at all though, other it ends up sounding like a nail polish shade or cheap perfume (especially if it’s a nature word)
I want to like Autumn, it’s my favourite season, but it just has such a mucousy, sticky mouth feel that I can’t get past. It somehow sounds harsher to me than Winter - maybe because it has the accessible nn Win/Winnie? Idk. I prefer Audrey for a girl and Aubrey for a boy (dislike Aubrey on a girl).
Bloom for nobody, it makes me think of underwear (bloomers) and air freshener.
I’ve seen Hazel mentioned for a boy.

I've played with gem and color names on boys in the past too.(:
