September-inspired baby names

September-Inspired Baby Girl Names:

  1. Autumn: Inspired by the season that begins in September, Autumn is a name that symbolises change, beauty, and maturity. Autumn is a lovely feminine name of Latin origin, meaning “fall” or “season of harvest.” The name is rooted in the Latin word autumnus, which also signifies the transition into this beloved season. If you’re expecting a fall baby or simply adore the rich colours and cosy vibes of autumn, this name is a perfect choice.
  2. Hazel: Hazel is a beautiful, earthy name inspired by the autumnal colours of September. It also refers to the hazel tree, which is associated with wisdom and protection.
  3. Amber: From the Arabic, ambar, meaning “jewel”. Also from the Old French, meaning “amber-coloured”. Amber is a warm, golden name, just like the colours of autumn. This name also represents the fossilised tree resin, which has been valued for centuries for its beauty and healing properties.
  4. Sapphire: September’s birthstone, Sapphire, symbolises wisdom, virtue, and good fortune. This sparkling gem name is perfect for a baby girl who is destined to shine.

September-Inspired Baby Boy Names:

  1. Knox: is a strong, modern name that can be linked to the autumnal equinox, which falls in late September. The name evokes a sense of balance, harmony, and the changing seasons, making it a fitting choice for a September baby boy.
  2. Harry: if you want your child’s name to be inspired by ruby royalty, go with Harry. Prince Harry, who was born on the 15th of September, embodies a blend of regal charm and down-to-earth appeal. This classic name has a rich history and carries a strong association with nobility, making it a great choice for your little prince.
  3. Medi: A Welsh-originating boy’s name that translates to “September”.
  4. Hunter: The fall season is also hunting season, and that’s where the baby boy name Hunter finds its inspiration. 

Baby Gender-Neutral Names:

  1. Aki: is a versatile name with roots in multiple cultures, including Japanese, Finnish, and Nigerian. In Japanese, Aki means “born in the autumn” or “ancestor,” making it an ideal choice for a September baby. This short and sweet name carries the essence of the season and a sense of heritage, perfect for parents looking for something unique yet meaningful.
  2. Aster: a gender-neutral name of Greek origin, means “star.” This name not only carries a celestial charm but also ties in with September’s birth flower, the aster, known for its star-like appearance. In ancient times, asters were considered sacred by Greek and Roman deities, symbolising love and wisdom. Aster is a strong yet gentle name, suitable for a little boy destined to shine.
  3. Indigo: Inspired by the deep blue colour of sapphires, Indigo is a bold and vibrant name that captures the richness of September’s birthstone.
  4. Forrest: is a name inspired by the natural world, making it an ideal choice for a September baby born as the trees begin to change colours. Symbolising growth, stability, and connection with nature, Forrest evokes the peacefulness of autumn and the beauty of the outdoors. It’s a strong, earthy name that fits perfectly with the season of harvest.

Exploring More September-Inspired Names

For even more name inspiration, you can dive deeper into names that are tied to autumn, the harvest, or other symbols of September. These names can help you find that perfect balance between tradition and individuality, ensuring your baby’s name is as unique as they are.

In the end, choosing a name for your baby is a deeply personal decision, and finding one that resonates with the season of their birth can make it even more meaningful. I hope this list has sparked some ideas and that you find the perfect name that reflects the beauty of September and the love you have for your little one.

    The first week of school is done.

    We’ve officially been “back to work” for a few weeks now
    
And the September energy? It’s real.

    But can we talk about the post-summer transition for a moment?

    Because mine was… a journey.

    After three full weeks offline in Italy, no emails, no stories, no posts (just family chaos and maybe a little Prosecco), my brain was properly stuck between holiday mode and “wait, shouldn’t I be working?!”

    Here’s what actually helped me reset with intention:

    Started small. Ridiculously small.
Those pre-client self-portraits? They became my way of saying “Welcome back” to myself.

    Protected my creative mornings like they were gold. No scrolling. Just walking, thinking, and slowly rebuilding rhythm.

    Remembered why I love my systems. @the17hats quietly held the fort while I got reacquainted with my brain. Bless it.

    It’s not about rushing. It’s about returning with intention.

    Because September always feels like a mini new year, doesn’t it?
    
What are you excited about this month?

    The transformation happens before I even press the shutter.

    Every woman who books a maternity shoot arrives with doubts:
    ‘I’m not glowing’
    ‘I’m camera shy’
    ‘I don’t know what to do’

    But here’s what I see:
    A woman becoming.
    A story worth capturing.
    Strength in its purest form.

    Your maternity shoot isn’t about looking perfect.
    It’s about feeling seen.
    It’s about recognising the woman you already are and the mother you’re becoming.

    Ready to see yourself through my lens?
    Let’s talk.

    The studio was quiet.
    
But not in a lonely way.
    
In a way that says:
“You’re back. Let’s begin again.”

    After a summer full of family, travel, sunshine… and not a lot of quiet 😅 it always takes me a minute to come back to myself.

    So I start small.
    
A tidy studio. A candle I love. A deep breath.

    It’s not about rushing into “getting things done.”
    
It’s about reconnecting to what matters.
    
To the stories I want to tell.
    
To the women I want to celebrate through my work.

    If you’re struggling to find your mojo… I see you.
    
Let’s both take it slow. And make space for what lights us up.

    Here’s to slow starts and soulful returns. Feeling the same? Tell me how you’re easing in.
