Why are April, May and June the only months women are named after? seems like there are plenty of February's

Question

here at GWS.

Answer 1

I'm sure glad my parents didn't name me May, since that's the month I was born in. Still, I avoided using the name June for my younger daughter even though her birthday is in June.

Answer 2

I don't get it

Answer 3

I m not sure honestly. I've met an August before, but her parents were hippies; they named their second child Ocean Sunrise (poor kid.) That name always makes me laugh a little.

Answer 4

Well, some women are named Augusta, the feminine of Augustus (whom August was named after) though it is not a very common name nowadays.  It was popular in the Victorian era though.  

I don't really know.  Why not call them after other months?  I'd never thought of it before.

Answer 5

Dunno....I know a guy named Monday.  Who would name their kid Monday?

Answer 6

Haha. Have a good fourth Mr. Ryde.

Answer 7

"The Secret Life of Bees" had a character named August. Another one considered renaming herself October.

Answer 8

There are lots of women named August, it's not just a mans name (mans name is actually Augusto)

Answer 9

And one December, thank you very much.

Hey, do you have friends with heavy boots in New Jersey who'd like to make a quick buck?

Answer 10

I bet you never heard of Febtober did ya, Trebek?

Answer 11

I know a woman named December. My brother's name is August, but he is a boy. We call him Gus.

Answer 12

Not really sure.

I've met several girls named August when I did some modeling and one named November Rain something or other but other than that no other months.

Answer 13

I've heard women being called August, December. Don't get the February joke.

Answer 14

I went to school with a Summer and an Autumn, both girls.
