Hello Jennifer,
I am starting to love month and seasonal names. Right now I like April. Must my daughter be born in April to receive that name or is that tacky? Same with Summer or Autumn, do they need to be born in that season, should I avoid matching birthday with name, or does it even matter?
Thanks,
Ali
Dear Ali,
No, there is no hard and fast rule that a baby named April has to be born in April, or Winter in Winter. However, be prepared, because that is the FIRST question everyone’s going to ask! If you don’t mind, then go for it!
Sincerely,
Jennifer
