April, May and June, yes! No problem. But, what about July?
It looks like a spelling mistake for Julie, and in South Africa we would tend to assume that its bearer was male - as in the Nadine Gordimer novel "July's People". But there seems no logical reason why little girls elsewhere should not be named July. To the best of your knowledge, have there been any instances of this?
If so, I'd expect them to be more modern than April, and much more modern than May and June. Would I be right? (I've never seen a South African example of Summer or Winter used as given names, by the way, though that proves nothing.)
Thanks!
