Falling For Baby Names Inspired by Autumn
Autumn is a wonderful time of year. With the change in season comes cooler temperatures, football and baby names. Yes, baby names. Falling in line (pun intended) with the baby name trends for 2008 to name children after nouns, look to the trees and the autumn leaves falling all around us to find great inspiration for baby names, especially for baby girls. Everyday nouns have a strong impact when used as a first name. So if this is your favorite time of year and you want to be reminded of it all year long, try one of these fabulous fall baby names. Here’s a quick look at what they mean.
LAURA is probably the most popular leaf baby name. Because it is a crown made from the leaves of the bay laurel tree for heroes or victors, it’s a wonderful symbol of honor and victory.
ASPEN is a heart-shaped leaf that quivers in the lightest breeze.
BAY leaves are used as an herb to add flavor.
SORREL is an herb with an acid taste to its leaves that is similar to kiwifruit or sour wild strawberries, but it still makes for an interesting name.
BRYONY is a vine that is native to Europe with large leaves and small flowers.
BURNETT leaves are tangy, fresh with a hint of cucumber and are typically used in salads. It’s a hardy plant with strength and endurance.
