Coming up with the perfect name for your baby girl is a difficult task any month of the year. If your list of potential baby names is overwhelming, it can help to narrow down your options to some names that are inspired by the season when your baby is due. April, May, or June are all gorgeous names for little girls born in spring. But what about beauties that make their grand debut in the fall? Don't worry -- we've got you covered...

Fall is the perfect season to be pregnant. The air is crisp enough that you can sleep comfortably at night and make it though the day without sweating through your newly purchased nursing bra. The swirling red and gold leaves and pumpkins everywhere are the perfect backdrop for maternity photos. And apple cider doughnuts with a mug of hot cider on the side are just what you, er, the baby, is craving.
