Re: American Names
Although most Americans use the word "fall" to denote the season, most Americans are also aware that another name for it is autumn. I'm just making the point that when Americans hear the name Autumn, they ARE aware that it's a season and that that is the meaning of the name. It's not a meaningless word to them. It's the same to us as naming a child Spring or Summer.

Susannah was quite popular in early America, like many biblical names. nt  ·  LuzDeTuVida  ·  7/29/2009, 2:37 PM

Yes. Americans use both Fall and Autumn. They're just synonyms to us. nt  ·  LuzDeTuVida  ·  7/29/2009, 1:06 PM
