Hi, we were all set on the name Summer but we told my in laws a few days ago and their reaction wasn't good and now we're having a wobble.

What are your honest thoughts on it?

Thanks

It's perfectly nice! Smile. Agree with pps, don't discuss names seriously with anyone other than DP imho.

My honest opinion is that you shouldn't have told the in laws!!

Anyway, Summer is a lovely name, I had on my list too, I think it's great, however I put it into the name genie and it just doesn't go with a second name. Try it yourself, it's on a website called "baby name genie" then click, BABY NAME TEST DRIVE. It's very helpful! www.babynamegenie.com/baby-name-test-drive.php

If you like Summer, wait until she arrives and go for it. And don't tell anyone your names again in the meantime! It's hard enough for 2 people to decide on a name. Best of luck.

It's a very pretty name and not too uncommon, that said my grandmother once scoffed at hearing it when she had a child herself who she named after a month....

I'm due in the autumn and do quite like Autumn as a name but I don't think it goes with surname or with other dcs names so I probably won't

Thank you. I know they can be quite old fashioned (they thought it was outrageous someone they knew called their son Zach) but we hoped they'd like it and their reaction made us feel like a bad choice.

  • if it is I'd rather know now!
