    Summer and Autumn get used as girl’s names ~1,200 per million and ~2,000 per million per year since the 1970s or so. “Fall” is only about 3 per million, “Winter” takes off with Game of Thrones TV show around 2011 leading to 600 per million, but was in use since the 70s to the tune of about 70-100 per mil.

    Parents have been identifying their kids as seasons for decades.

      Don’t forget all the kids named after months.

      January Jones was a famous actress for a minute. November Kelly is a popular podcaster. April, May, and June are all common girl’s names.

      Try millennia. You can find people named after months and seasons going back to antiquity. Hell, many of the months/seasons themselves were originally the names of ancient mythological gods and heroes.

        Also Julius and Augustus, give to two of the most important Romans to name months after themselves.

        Lol, keep it cleaner. Imagine during labor, instead of “the baby is coming…”

            Welcome to my gutter. It is clearly marked, I’ve been here for decades. Hiking rules apply. “If you pack it in, pack it out.”

        My app sees the tildes behind 1200 and 2000 as markdown. It renders differently on the website (and probably other apps)

        You see ~ this, ~ while I see this

          It was just that impressive.

        Ah, missed that one. Thanks for pointing that out.

        Looks like ~20 per mil for most every decade except a jump from the late ‘60s to late ‘70s peaking at about 180 per mil. Perhaps a byproduct of the flower power/ hippy movement in the ‘60s?
