I love the vintage or retro feel that month names have. I would've said peak 1950 for
June but apparently it is earlier than that.
June is my favourite for girls (Junie or
Juno are sweet nn) and
May (or
Mae) is lovely, too. I like the
Mae spelling - it reminds me of old Hollywood actresses, such as
Mae West.
August, nn Augie or
Gus is my favourite for boys.
I like
April for girls, as well.
July I could see working for boys, with JuJu or
Jules as nicknames.
I like the idea of
January (nn
Jan), November (nn
Nova) and December (nn Deci) for girls, and
October (nn
Toby) for boys, however I'd prefer them as character names.
You start to loose me around
September (nn Tembi? Sep? nah), February (nn Feb? Bru? nope), or March. Marchie I don't like. I'd rather hear March used as a middle name. Overall for the most part I prefer the shorter month names as the longer ones feel too heavy for everyday use.
