Best Names for Fall

Now that it's November, Fall is approaching an end. Before it ends, I want to list my ten favorite Fall-inspired names for each gender. 

In order to qualify as a Fall-inspired name, a name must:

• have connections to the season, whether it's a tree name, Fall-inspired color, or a name tied to an Autumn month.

Here are some names that are perfect for a child born in the Fall:
