Im having quite a lot of fun putting together some suggestions for my first litter which is due at the end of this week.  My kennel name is 9 letters long and as my girl is named Maple (after the tree) she is also that colour and all her offspring will also be yellow/dark yellow.  Being an autumn litter, I thought I would do autumn colours and trees.  So far I have:

Obviously my 9 letter kennel name first
Russet Apple
Red Oak
Copper Beech
Scarlet Sycamore

I want to stick to trees that have brilliant autumn leaves at the moment, I wondered if any of you could throw any suggestions into the pot as they just seem quite er.. unimaginative compared to some Ive seen listed on the CD pup pages lol.

Just a few thoughts off the top of my head;

Acer
Scarlet Oak
Mountain Ash
Rowan

You could also Google "Trees for good autumn colour', or similar, & I'm sure lots would come up!  What fun - good luck!

Also have you considered changing the order around, personally I think Sycamore Scarlet sounds better and more imaginative than the other way around. 

To give you a hand some alternatives for red;
blush, brick, burgundy, cardinal, carmine, cerise, cherry, claret, crimson, flaming, florid, flushed, garnet, magenta, maroon, rose, roseate, rosy, rubicund, ruby, ruddy, rufescent, rust, sanguine, scarlet, titian, vermilion, wine
Orange;
ocher, cadmium, flame, brass, gold, tangerine, bronze,
Yellow;
amber, aureate, aurulent, blonde, canary, champagne, chrysal, citrine, cream, fallow, flavescent, flavicomous, gold, honey, lemon, lutescent, oatmeal, primrose, sallow, straw, sulfur, sunshine, tawny, xanthic, xanthodont, xanthous,

Tree's;
Chestnut
Maple
Poplar
Magnolia
Cherry
Ash
Birch
Hornbeam
Dogwood

Wow, what beautiful names you can get from trees, I've never thought of them as a theme before, great choice! :-)

No particular suggestions but I don't think those are unimaginative names at all, I think it's a great idea!

Thank you for your ideas, its been fun and then frustrating in equal amounts as so many trees are used as Kennel Club names.  Ive been putting them into the KC name checker, so at least I get a rough idea if they would be accepted or not.  My KC name has three syllables so that helps with the shorter names.

This is what I have so far:
Boys:
Red Oak
Copper Beech
Rayner's Alder - my Grandmother requested this one, Maple my girl is named in memory of my Grandfather.
Chestnut Flame
Claret Ash - there is actually a real tree called this

Girls:
Russet Apple
Hawthorn Ruby
Syca more Scarlet - this one has had to have a space in it as Sycamore is a Kennel name already
Rowanberry - Rowan on its own is also a kennel name so had to go for this spelling, Rowan is the name that has been chosen by one of the new owners.
Cadmium Cherry

Ive got two that Im a bit stuck with, but would really like to find a good version of these names:
Juniper
Acorn   I wanted Autumn Acorn or Autumn's Acorn but Autumn/'s is a kennel name already

Any ideas for the last two gratefully received :D

>  Syca more Scarlet - this one has had to have a space in it as Sycamore is a Kennel name already

You could always do what GCCF cat breeders (limited to one or two words only for the name) do, and run the words together. In this day & age of internet website names being words all squashed up, it's even more acceptable and not as odd-looking as it once was...

So you'd have Sycamorescarlet, Autumnacorn, and so on. If they were ever shown and the owners 'mistakenly' added a space between the words in the catalogue, I don't think anyone would notice ;)

I know lots of people like A words for first litters, might not be your cup of tea, but you do have some nice A's in there - Alder, Acorn, Ash, Apple, Aspen, Acacia, Acer and so on if you did want to go down that route.

Just an idea :)

Yes!   As I found out last year when I named a friends litter for her and some of the pups from that litter were 'brown' so an Autumn theme was wanted.  All I did was not include a space between Autumn and the chosen word eg. Autumnleaves.  Autumncolours is nice.
