Summer and Autumn get used as girl’s names ~1,200 per million and ~2,000 per million per year since the 1970s or so. “Fall” is only about 3 per million, “Winter” takes off with Game of Thrones TV show around 2011 leading to 600 per million, but was in use since the 70s to the tune of about 70-100 per mil.

Parents have been identifying their kids as seasons for decades.
January Jones was a famous actress for a minute. November Kelly is a popular podcaster. April, May, and June are all common girl’s names.

Try millennia. You can find people named after months and seasons going back to antiquity. Hell, many of the months/seasons themselves were originally the names of ancient mythological gods and heroes.
Ah, missed that one. Thanks for pointing that out.
Looks like ~20 per mil for most every decade except a jump from the late ‘60s to late ‘70s peaking at about 180 per mil. Perhaps a byproduct of the flower power/ hippy movement in the ‘60s?

Don’t forget all the kids named after months.

Also Julius and Augustus, give to two of the most important Romans to name months after themselves.
groan I can already hear the bad sex jokes about “Winter is Coming”
Lol, keep it cleaner. Imagine during labor, instead of “the baby is coming…”
Thank you for that, my brain strives ever for the gutter haha

Gets to go through life with people announcing their imminent arrival at any event they are going to.
Unrelated, but your comment just showed me how to make subscript on lemmy
My app sees the tildes behind 1200 and 2000 as markdown. It renders differently on the website (and probably other apps)
You see ~ this, ~ while I see this
TIL how to (unintentionally) subscript.
Really? I didn’t use any…
It was just that impressive.
Spring isn’t used as a name, I guess?
