It’s always interesting to look at baby name patterns to see which monikers are more popular than others. Patterns can inspire us when choosing our own babies’ names. But they can also be an indicator of which names may be more uncommon and therefore unique — if that’s the vibe we’re going for.
Fortunately, for anyone considering a seasonal or date-themed baby name, BeenVerified did a recent study that looked at those name trends over the last decade. The study examined the days, months, and seasons most commonly used by parents when picking monikers for their new babies. Some months and days have a ton of representation, but others don’t get any.
To see which 20 names were popular enough to make the cut, keep reading.

Autumn
Winter
Winter may be a somewhat unpopular season to live through, due to the cold, but it was a decently popular baby name. Over the past decade, 8,130 baby girls were named Winter, along with 484 baby boys. We wonder how many of those were actually born during the winter.

Spring
Most would probably agree that Spring is a beautiful time of year, but it ranked last among the four seasons for baby name popularity. Per the study, just 218 baby girls named Spring were born over the last decade. No boys had that moniker.
Solstice
We celebrate the solstice twice a year. It occurs once in mid-June to mark the longest day of the year, and once in December to mark the shortest day. As a baby name, we love Solstice. And, as it turns out, so did the parents of 105 girls and 16 boys.
Wednesday
By far the most popular day-themed baby name was Wednesday, with nearly 800 baby girls getting the moniker in the past decade. It helps that Wednesday is a popular character from The Addams Family. The name will likely see a resurgence in popularity again thanks to the Netflix series, with Jenna Ortega playing the character Wednesday.
Sunday
It’s the last day of the week, but Sunday is the second most popular day-themed baby name. Over the past 10 years, 741 baby girls named Sunday and 40 boys named Sunday were born. Interestingly, another popular baby name name was Domingo, which means Sunday in Spanish.
Tuesday
There were 178 girls names Tuesday in the last decade, which is a fairly small number, but not as small as some of the other days on this list. There was an actress in the ’60s who changed her name to Tuesday Weld — perhaps in an effort to stand out. Her name was actually Susan Weld, per IMDB.
