I'm confused about this...

With month names (April, May, June, September, etc) should the child be named that only if they're born in that month? What if say, you were born in April but named October? Would that be too weird? I love month names...

I think April, May and June are widely used enough to be used at any time of the year. I think that people with less-used month names, like October, are going to have a lot of people asking "Oh, so were you born in October?" which could get obnoxious. Personally, I don't really see the appeal - a lot of month names are beautiful words, but they are weird as names. What does "September" or "December" even mean on a kid, you know?

I agree. I don't really consider April, May, and June "month names", even though they obviously are, because they're fairly common. Honestly, I think using any other month as a name is just ridiculous. Why on earth would you name your child October?

heh. :) I guess it just doesn't appeal to me.
