They were also conscious of choosing a name that could not be changed into something crude or used as bullying material. No one else in my family has my name, although my middle name (Betty) was my great grandmother's name. 

Fun fact: My parents almost named me Rhiannon, after the Fleetwood Mac song. ]]> 2018-01-11 21:57:41 UTC https://padlet.com/abtaylo5/9k5tr2emg35o/wish/220808115 abtaylo5 https://padlet.com/abtaylo5/9k5tr2emg35o/wish/220808671 The name Autumn is the Latin root word for "autumnus".

As I became an adult, I did meet a few other Autumn's. After conducting this research, I can see that the name Autumn eventually became the 65th most popular female name in 2016. I did not know of a person with my name who I could look up to. My family shortens my name to "Auto" in text messages. There is no real reason for this, other than it is short and kind of fun to say. I like my name because it fits me well and I enjoy the connection to the fall season. I would not change it because I am used to it and have nothing else in mind. My name is not related to any interesting experiences that I have had. However, I do get people that call me "Amber" instead on a strangely frequent basis. There is no reason for it that I can understand, but if someone calls me a different name on accident, it is almost always Amber. ]]> 2018-01-11 22:23:23 UTC https://padlet.com/abtaylo5/9k5tr2emg35o/wish/220812440 abtaylo5 https://padlet.com/abtaylo5/9k5tr2emg35o/wish/220815416 2018-01-11 22:44:48 UTC https://padlet.com/abtaylo5/9k5tr2emg35o/wish/220815416
