[snowchick1977]

just wondering what peoples general thoughts were on the girls name Summer?

Thanks x

[DottieRose]

I think it's sweet!

[NaturalNatures]

I don't really like it, don't know why. There are other names to do with summer...

Sama
Semo
Sunna
Sumar
Samoni
Sulis
Ostara
Arinna
Hestia

[LaGuerta]

Not keen, because it sounds as though the parents want to be a bit American.

That's probably from watching "the OC" though.

[spaghettina]

I like it!

[picnicbasketcase]

I think it's very pretty

[exoticfruits]

I don't like it .

[Wheresmycaffeinedrip]

I like it :)

[UnnamedFemaleProtagonist]

I don't like it at all.

[AmandinePoulain]

What about Haf (pronounced havv), which is the welsh word for summer? Or Hafwen, fair summer?

[MammaTonic]

A part of me likes it, but a part of me thinks it's a bit of a 'New Age' or hippy name. There's nothing wrong with hippies but I think it may give the child minor problems with others' initial perceptions of them.

I really am divided in my opinion of this name.

I know a Summer - its a lovely name but can be confusing when we are talking about seasons! We have to talk about 'in the summer-time' and wearing 'summer-time clothes' if you see what I mean

[EdithWeston]

It's not a name I like, but I think it's perfectly OK as a name - I know one aged 11ish (it was. "Home and Away" name then!) and it works fine.

I like Summer. But only if the child is born in the summer.

Ditto, Holly (but only at Christmas), Autumn (but only in Autumn), May (but only in May). You get my drift. Drives me crackers.

[SheilaWheeler]

Princess - I know what you mean, I knew an April who was born in July. It seemed wrong somehow.

[BabyStone]

like the name Summer, its on my baby name list even though it might sound funny with my partners surname (Stone) lol, doesnt have to be born in the summer either!

[shimmy0]

No. Summer will you sum up this meeting? Summer what are you doing this summer?

[LynetteScavo]

OK, but a bit American/Australian for me. I imagine her brothers would be called Tyler and Ethan.

[LynetteScavo]

I like the name Jeff (but weirdly not Geof )

[DawnOfTheDee]

I love the name Summer!

(and prefer Geoff to Jeff but that's cos it's my dad's name so i'm biased!)

[shimmy0]

What's wrong with Ethan?

[LynetteScavo]

Nothing's wrong with Ethan (or Tyler or Summer) - I just think of them as typically American/ Australian, beach type names.

[NaturalNatures]

Weirdly, I really like Autumn but none of the other seasons as names
