Odd to me. I think Greta Noelle is more appropriate for a winter baby.
Willa reminds me of Willow which makes me think of sitting in the shade on a summer day, perhaps in June. Anyway nothing wintery about it to me. (Unless you are going for wishful thinking )
I have the same dilemma. I like the name Autumn but the baby is due in the Winter so we have switched the girl name to Amber which I can't help but slightly think sounds like a stripper's name.
No more TTC for us. We are done, and at peace, as a family of 4.

We love Autumn too but it doesn't work combined with our first name choices and last name. I feel the same way about Amber although I'm not sure why. It's a pretty name and I grew up with an Amber that was far from stripperish.
I looove Willa June. Willa is my D's middle name, and there are some haters out there for some reason, but I just think it's such a classy, underused, beautiful name. June is a great middle name and pairs with Willa well. It's funny, with the months names, this board gets a lot of posts asking if it's OK to use that name if the baby is NOT born in that month, but also probably an equal number of posts asking whether it's cheesy to use that name if the baby IS born in that month. I say that most people your daughter encounters will have no clue when she is born (or what her MN is, for that matter), so go with what you love.
Re: June
I love Willa June! I don't think it's weird at all for a winter baby to have the MN June.
Greta is NMS...I think Willa is much prettier!

I love June. But I don't love Willa.

Both names are perfectly fine though
