Tis the season...

My friend just announced she is having a baby, and that she likes the name Ruby. I told her I  thought the name Ruby June was really cute. She agreed, but said it wouldn't work because the baby will be born in July. I thought that was a little odd...

So, how much does the time of year affect the name of your baby? It "ok" to name a summer baby Noel and a winter baby Summer? Which name are more seasonally related that others? Like Holly vs. Iris? What about weather and  time of day names like Misty, Dawn and Sunny?
Lastly, can you think of any boy's names that have this "issue"? Seems like most seasonal/desciptive names are female...

My friend's name is Noel and she was born at the end of June. Another friend of mine is Holly and she was also born in the summer.

My band director's daughter was born in July and her middle name is June.

I don't really think seasonal and other time-defining names need to only be used at the time in which they're applicable. I really like the name Noelle and would use it regardless of season.
