Spring is my second favourite season, it’s where flowers grow and everything smells nice, which is good. However, this does not sound like a name, and also it reminds me of some Spring that kids play with.
This is the name I gave to a sim in The Sims years ago, I was probably like 9. For a real person I think it's kinda ridiculous. Autumn and Summer work well, but Spring and Winter, eeehh, no.

Sounds a little too youthful, but I still like it.
Loads of people think it sounds trashy and hippie, but I definitely don't. I think it sound beautiful and unique and fresh and lovely. Why anyone would dislike it, I do not know.
It sounds just plain weird on a person, and doesn't work at all like the other three season names. When I think of the word "Spring" I think of my very bad pollen allergies and how I'm always sick during that time of year, so it carries that sort of negative connotation for me as well.
I really like the name Spring because it sound more energetic than any other season name. Due to the positive associations with the season (a new beginning, blooming flowers) I could imagine to actually use it. I know of a boy named Springer - a male possibility that sounds very lively and when I first heard it made me smile (due to the fact that as someone already mentioned Spring/Springer in German means jump/jumper) which I think is not a bad thing at all.
This just doesn't sound like a real person's name, unlike the other three season names. I'm not a fan of any of them anyway, but at least they sound more like people names in addition to seasonal names. There's also the issue of how it has a few other meanings in English, which may or may not cause teasing in school.
I have a funny story about this. I knew a girl named Spring. I thought she was named this because she was born in the Spring. When I asked her, she said no, she was born in December. Anyway, this seems like a hippie name, like Happy, Flower or Ocean.
Too bad this name means more than just the season. If the poor kid had to move to a German-speaking country, her name would mean ''Jump!''. Even in English-speaking conutries, this sounds more like a hippie name than Summer, Winter, and Autumn. It's got too many damn consonants anyway.
A famous bearer was American actress Spring Byington (October 17, 1886 – September 7, 1971). She is well known for her supporting roles in films like "Little Women" (1933) "Mutiny on the Bounty" (1935) "You Can't Take it With You" (1938), for which she received an Academy Award nominations. She was a cast member of the situation comedy "December Bride", and also starred in around 20 Broadway productions.
This name is too peppy for me. Somehow I picture some little blond girl named Spring Joy Happy Angel.

Out of all the seasons to name your child by, this is my least favourite. Simply because it's a little bit strange I suppose. Winter, Summer and Autumn are nice, but Spring is odd and mainly because it has two meanings.
