Summer Verity and Summer Violet lovely. Would you pronounce Elyse, Eleese? That's lovely too!

I prefer Summer rather than Brooke and agree with the pp the middle names are lovely, except Everly.

But in general, I prefer your middle name choices to your first name choices (sorry!). Lyra, Anastasia and Annaliese are lovely too.

Summer Violet! Someone from work has a daughter with that name, I think it's a lovely name.

Thank you!
Yes, pronounced Eleese!

Love Verity and Violet, Violet would after my great grandmother Violet but not sure it goes with our last name sadly.

Prefer Summer over Brooke.

Violet is the best name on your list - if it were me I'd use that as the first name

Lyra Elyse would be very nice.

Otherwise Summer Verity is my favourite

I think they're all lovely names, but just a couple of things to consider...
My second cousin has a daughter called Summer, and when she's mentioned people often look confused for a while until they realise you are talking about the girl, and not the season! Maybe this doesn't bother you.
Also, do you have an accent that doesn't separate words properly? If so an -er sound followed by a vowel will make it sound as if the R belongs at the start of the next word, so Summa Release.

I agree about the -er followed by a vowel sounding like one word- Summer Violet is lovely!

I prefer Brooke and it’s a little more unusual.

Summer, with Verity or Violet as her middle name. Actually, I rather like Verity Violet as a name...

My issue with Summer Violet (which I love) is im not sure about the flow with our last name... which begins with "Mun"

Is the baby going to be born in the summer?

Report
Alleyplus2 · 14/04/2021 22:39

Yes...yet surprisingly has no relevance to why I like the name Summer. Just always have.

Summer Verity is lovely. Summer Violet sounds like a colour on a paint chart but not dreadful.

Yes im not sold on the flow of Summer Violet either, sadly as it was my great grandmother name so was trying to make it work.
