In this post, we’ll explore a variety of September-inspired names for both boys and girls, each with its own special origin and significance. If you loved learning about the traits of September babies in our last post, “8 Fascinating Traits of September Babies: What Makes Them Stand Out,” you’re sure to find the perfect name here to match those wonderful qualities.

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.

    We live in a world where everything is fast, filtered, automated.

    Where perfection is polished and every flaw can be edited away in just a click.

    But what happens when we pause?
    
When we slow down…
    
When we really look?

    Not just at the photos, but at ourselves.

    This is where the true power of photography lives—not in capturing a perfect image, but in creating space for reflection, for presence, for seeing yourself as you really are.

    No filters. No rush. No expectations.
    
Just you.

    In the stillness, the truth becomes louder.
    
In the quiet, we see what was always there.

    Because the answers we’re looking for, the confidence, the worthiness, the values, they’ve been inside us all along.

    This is the beginning of Reflections Beyond the Frame. A space for honest conversations. For slowing down. For seeing yourself again.

    When was the last time you truly paused to listen to yourself?

    Did you know your newborn might cry, but without actual tear, for their first few weeks?

    Even though they definitely make their voices heard (we know those cries well!), their tear ducts are still developing, so you might notice a lot of crying, but no real tears.

    It’s completely normal and just another fascinating part of their early days.

    Did you already know this? Or do you have another favourite newborn fact? Share it below, I’d love to hear it!

    As a small business owner, we’re told to show up, to be visible, to build a personal brand.
    
As small business owners, we’re told to show up, stay visible, and build our personal brand.

    And on social media? It can feel like everyone else is always on: always networking, always glowing, always travelling, always achieving.

    Perfect homes. Perfect outfits. Perfect nails.
Even rest has to look productive and aesthetic.

    But here’s the truth I’m holding onto lately:
Not everything needs to be loud to be meaningful.

    Sometimes, we need to go quiet to make space for what really matters.
    I’ve been a little quieter here - not because I’ve disappeared, but because I’ve been working on something really special (my book is getting so close!!)...
    
And also giving myself the gift of slowing down and reconnecting with what matters most.

    This is your gentle reminder that stepping back is still moving forward.
And you’re allowed to do the same.

    Coming soon to toy stores near you... not really. But imagine!

    Introducing the Valentina action figure:

    Wearing the classic jeans + white tee combo

    Armed with a Canon camera (obviously)

    Comes with accessories like a laptop, lit candle (for vibes), white orchid (because aesthetics matter), AND my real-life Labrador sidekick
    
Mood: somewhere between “let’s create magic” and “I need chocolate.”

    Honestly, this was such a fun little thing to try and kinda hilarious to see myself as a 3D mini-me! 🙈

    But behind the toy box, there’s a real woman who’s spent years telling stories through photos. Helping mums feel beautiful. Cheering on women rediscovering their confidence.

    Freezing the messy, emotional, magical in-between moments that make life what it is.

    And while I don’t come in packaging (thank goodness, can you imagine the plastic hair??), I do show up with camera in hand and music in the background, ready to turn your moments into something timeless.

    So tell me… if YOU were an action figure, what would your accessories be?

    Mine better come with a never-ending SD card.

    PS. My daughter said the figurine looks like an Oompa Loompa.
    I might have laughed a little too hard… mostly because she’s not wrong.
