I dislike. I really dislike.

I had previously made a post about how my best friend selected the name Autumn for her upcoming daughter, and at the time she was unsure of middle names. Apparently they've selected Rain, but it will be misspelled in some fashion. BECAUSE RAIN IS TOO TRENDY.

I love my friend. But this killed me. I hate it through and through. Autumn Raine/Rayne?? Why don't we just give her a Guns N Roses Tattoo and a Free Bird shirt? Those are the only two things that come to mind. November Rain and Hippies.

Seriously...Skylar Noel and Autumn Raine. I feel like such a snob for being so condescending over a friend's baby name, but I absolutely hate it. Of course, aside from pointing out it was very naturey I kept my mouth shut and supported her since she obviously loves it. But here I can vent.

Also, why is Rain everywhere? Rain and Rose are like the new Lynn and Marie of the middle name position. Sometimes they work very nicely in that spot too, but overall it feels soooooooooo overdone.

Have to say I hardly ever see it spelled Rain. Rain would be the least trendy way to spell it!

I came across a sib set: Spring Rain and Autumn Rain. I think I would prefer November Rain LOL!!

If I were to go with a season it would be Winter. Not that Autumn is an unusual name, but I've always thought if you went unusual or noun-y with the first name, the middle name should be classic. Like Autumn Elizabeth or something.

Exactly! Autumn Elizabeth would be a thousand times better, or Autumn Victoria. It wouldn't be anything I'd use but it would still be so pretty! But you get what I mean.

Speaking of Winter I saw on nameberry "Winter Rosamund" and while Winter isn't my style either I completely melted I thought it was so pretty.
