While amusing, it's also flawed.
One word has it roots in Latin or Etruscan, the other in Germanic and/or old Norse. And autumn may derive from cold, so... Both are just descriptions of a seasonal change.
Fall is no stranger or dumber than spring.

The word autumn (/ˈɔːtəm/) is derived from Latin autumnus, archaic auctumnus, possibly from the ancient Etruscan root autu- and has within it connotations of the passing of the year. ... However, these words all have the meaning "to fall from a height"

Yes, its a shame that it is a real person.
Just as Alan Smithee is used when a director doesn't want his name associated with a film, Gabriel De Cunto could be used in other situations.
-
Speaking of Alan Smithee:
In 1998, the film An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn was released, in which a man named Alan Smithee (Eric Idle) wishes to disavow a film he has directed, but is unable to do so because the only pseudonym he is permitted to use is his own name.
The film was directed by Arthur Hiller, who reported to the Director's Guild that producer Joe Eszterhas had interfered with his creative control, and successfully removed his own name from the film, so Alan Smithee was credited instead.

Alan Smithee is (used to be?) the only pseudonym allowed to be used when a director wanted to disown a film.
When Alan Smithee wants to disown a film, then he's only allowed to use the pseudonym Alan Smithee.

Most workers union rules don't. But it's true that for several decades, all directors in the Directors Guild of America were obligated to be credited using their own actual name, or as Alan Smithee (if they want to remain anonymous because the movie sucks so much). The movie's premise is that a hypothetical director who's actually named Alan Smithee would have no choice. That film was such a catastrophic failure that it made the Guild repeal that rule.

At the time the film was released, the Director's Guild had a rule (since repealed) that a director who wanted to remove their name from a movie had to use the pseudonym "Alan Smithee."
The point of this is that the Director's Guild, which is a union that looks out for directors, wants to promote the arteur theory, the idea that specifically the director (and not the writers, producers, or actors) is the most important "artist" in creating the work of art that is a film.
Part of that is that they usually don't let directors take their name off of movies where the director feels he didn't do a very good job.
The only reason The Guild usually lets directors take their name off of movies is if some outside force, like the studio, compromises the director's artistic vision. Using a fairly well-known pseudonym allows the director to flag the movie to protest to knowledgeable insiders that the film was "not directed by the actual director" without compromising the film's commercial viability - for which the director still gets paid.

There's also the name "George Spelvin" for actors, when one of them plays an additional role in the same film where they're credited under the usual name. It dates back to the silent era where small roles were often filled by the principal actors to make a few extra bucks. Porn star Shelley Bob Graham took the name "Georgina Spelvin" as a deliberate play on this trope.
Don't know if it's still there, but there used to be biographies at IMDb for both names, with the Alan Smithee bio contributed by George Spelvin and vice versa.

@dkf No, only one, and you have to ask the mountain what it wants to be called and what pronouns it wants to be used to refer to it.

Fun fact: in Poland it usually is the case that the older you are, the more names you have.
Well, not so much nowadays but back in the day virtually every single person went through Catholic sacraments of baptism (where you acquire second name) and confirmation (where you acquire third, although this one doesn't go into any official documents).
