What other month would you name your kid?

[opus]

April, May, and June are common names, and there are people named August and January. If you HAD to pick one of the remaining seven months to name your kid (ok, oddball question, just go with premise) which would you choose? And why?

[Bonniegirl]

I picked September , that sounds the most pleasant to my ear. December second choice.

A boy would get August and he would get Auggie nickname.

I keep waiting for someone to write that their daughter October is highly offended by my question.

Nickname could be Dec (soft c, sounds like Dez) or Deci (sounds like Desi, as in Arnaz)

Or just the usual De De ! Plenty of options. I thought of that , which is why I also chose this but didn't vote for December and went with September . Also December is a happy month cause of Christmas .

September is beautiful for a name and long hot summer is over , but what nicknames would go with this ? Septi or Seppi ? They are similar to septic or sepsis ( two kimd of not pleasant things) !

And October and November are lovely months , but Oct. Reminds me of Octopus and November has the word No in it !

In the world of rock music radio, October will always be Rocktober.

He called Michael Lembeck " Son" in this ! Remember back in the day men calling boys , teenage boys and young men " Son' even if they weren't their son . It was really common!

January for a girl. Her nickname would be Jan.

I wonder how many people realize that our months are named incorrectly. In Roman times, the year began in March and had ten months. When the calendar year was lengthened to reflect reality, the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth months, September, October, November and December (meaning seven, eight, nine, and ten) were each moved back two months.

I didn't know this . That old saying " You learn something new everyday" rings true!
