Help[Opinions] Re: February
in reply to a message by Tisiphone
February has been used as a name three times in the UK, according to the records. They're all female & all have ordinary middle names - am betting at least one of them swapped!
I don't love any of the months as names, although the more unusual ones are fun to see. May is okay. June and April are also okay, but seem a little elderly, & August sounds very German to me as a name and I want to pronounce it 'ow-goowst'. July sounds like 'd'you lie'. January has a nice sound, but it's a cold gloomy month to be named for. March sounds like a command. Not wild about the others.
Medi is also okay (September in Welsh, sometimes used as a name) but I don't think it would work too well outside Wales.

You just reminded me of something. I went to a K-12th grade school for middle and high school. In middle school we would help elementary school kids learn to read. One of the years my reading partner was a girl who went by Peaches. Later when she was in middle school I learned that Peaches wasn't just a nn, it was her mn and her fn was July. So her name was July Peaches *Surname*. She hated her name combo and disliked July so she went by Peaches. I felt a bit bad for her. July works as a name but not with a mn like Peaches.

Thank you! A girl I nannied for has a friend named Medi and I could never figure out where it came from. Mom was from the UK so it makes sense. The more you know :)
