June is high on our list if this baby is a girl, but its a family name on my side so that helps it.
I have no problem with April or May on girls. And August is just fine.
I think January, October or the like can really work for some people, but they wouldn't for me. I think it would take a special kid to pull if off well.
They are all strictly months to me. I don't like any of them but I guess May is ok.

January, February, March, July, September, October, November, and December are not names in my book (and I know a December personally who is a great person, I just don't dig it as a name).
April, May, and June all work for me as girls' names and August is nms but definitely a solid boy's name.
But, really, if you want to name your kid November, go for it! It's better than a lot of the youneek names I've heard.
I love June, August and April. I like May. I wouldn't use any of the others, although I do have a great-grandmother that was named October so I like the idea of it.
Not crazy about January. April is okay. Mae I love and will probably use as a mn for hypothetical baby girl, but it's a family name. June I really like. Julie is derived from July, and it's okay. August is nice but I don't think it's as fantastic as everyone thinks it is. Gus is a very cute nn though. October nn Toby is very cute...for a male dog.

Began researching EA in 2014.
No longer pursuing EA due to fibroid complications.
Re: Month names?
I only like/ would use August. I do GP'ly love March as a FN.
April feels really 70s to me (it was actually almost my IRL name!!)
May and June are just OK for me- they are both a little boring maybe?
My mom suggested January to me as a name for DD, I did give pause and thought about it for a hot second, but it's just not "me".
I don't like October for a name.

I don't mind April or May/Mae for girls. I kinda actually like June for a girl.

I love June and May, especially as middle names. I think they flow well with a lot. Like them as first names too though.
August is fine, wouldn't use it, but there's nothing wrong with it.
Not really a fan of the others

And re: January Jones, it's not even her real name. She got it from a Jacqueline Susann novel.
