[Opinions] Re: September
I guess it's no less a legitimate candidate for a name than April or June, but it doesn't have anything even remotely like the history as a name of those two, so I'd say it's not a name. And naming a kid after the month it was born in seems so lazy and random. I say this as someone who has a cousin named Holly Noelle who was born around Xmas, and as someone who has met several APrils named after their birth month. All these parents who do this kind of thing seem to think they're being so cute and clever, but they aren't.
I was born in September and have a general fondness for the month now that it doesn't mark a return to school for me. I'm still glad my mother expended a bit more thought coming up with my name than using September.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
