just one...

I've been a part of this community for a while now, we are working on starting our family so I write down names that might have potential for when I actually am pregnant but I don't want to put my list up just yet. 

I have one customer at work that i see every 2 weeks and every time i think what a unique name, its 

Dawna, i don't care for the name Donna it makes me think of someone's mom but if your mom was named donna i think its a cute twist because i like dawn.  Its not a name i want to use but just something unique yet not tacky or ridiculous. 

Another question i have for the community to see if other people feel this way for if its just me about names that have a very obvious meaning.  I almost have a native american type view.  for example i wouldn't use the name autum if the baby wasn't born in fall, or names like january, may, april if the babies aren't born that month.  WDYT?

In Australia, there is a dramatic difference between the pronounciation of Dawn and Don. I pronounce Dawn as "dorn" and Don with a hard o sound. I am sorry I am not better at spelling things phonetically.

That I did not know; thanks for sharing! No worries; I'm not very good at phonetic spellings either :).
