There is something incredibly comforting when the temperatures drop, the leaves change color, and our favorite oversize sweaters come out of the closet. Things slow down as the summer activities end and our kids return to the familiar structured routine of back to school. It’s pumpkin spice, hearty dinners, and cool nights — what’s not to love?
With so much going for the fall season, it’s a great source for parents who are expecting a baby to draw inspiration from. It’s already a period of wonderful change, magical things, and with that there’s so much to choose from.
For parents who are expecting a little girl, we’ve done the baby name research for you to take a little bit off your large to-do list. So, for anyone still in the preliminary search and narrowing down a list of names, or someone who really loves everything about autumn, check out these 20 fall-inspired girl names.
Annona
Maize
Maize is a gender neutral name that is the French word for corn, which is harvested in the fall. For parents who love the vibe of Maize but want it to be a little less obvious, Maisie is a gorgeous compromise.
Persephone
Persephone, pronounced per-SEF-o-nee, is one of those names that we don’t hear a lot but it has a huge regal feel to it so it would be lovely to hear the name more. The name is of Greek origin and has been attributed to the queen of the harvest.
Ginger
Ginger fits the fall-inspired list for two reasons — it’s a spice that warms us up when the color gets cooler. Plus, the name gives off red, orange, and yellow vibes as well and that screams Autumn leaves. A bonus if there’s a fan of the Spice Girls at home.
Amber
Amber is one of the more common baby names on the list and there are several places inspiration can bring parents-to-be to this name. Amber is known for its yellowish-orange color — very fitting for the fall months when all the leaves change.
Olive
Olive as a name for a little girl is becoming more popular and it just makes total sense. It’s obviously a nod to the food, but it’s also fitting for anyone looking for a fall-inspired name since Olives are harvested during this season.
Aspen
Aspen is a beautiful tree which typically grows in Utah or Colorado. The tree is strong with heart-shaped leaves, but it also makes for an amazing girl name. The gorgeous leaves turn from green to a bright, stunning yellow when Autumn comes around.
