Autumn Inspired Names For Characters

Autumn Inspired Names For Characters

These names remind me of autumn either in their meanings or in their associations with autumnal colours or themes (e.g. harvest). 

Please note that a number of names will have various origins and may hold different meanings in different cultures. I always recommend doing your own research! I also based the "gender" column on traditional usage but of course you're free to name characters of any gender whichever name you please.
