Whoops, meant to say Summer Greene there.

Liadain · 27/07/2017 15:07

It's ok as a name. Doesn't blow me away but totally fine, and different from all the ie and a ending names of the moment.

I would be careful with the surname as I think depending on what it is, she might sound a bit like a paint colour - Summer White, Summer

Reading stories like this remind me why we have a massive communal garden that nobody is allowed to use. Was shared before we moved in but now it is forbidden to go out there. Would love to post a picture of our massive forest of a garden that nobody is allowed to use because people take the piss filling it with children's toys, making their own mini allotments, and claiming turf. Sadly no attachment button.

Middle names:
Summer Rose
Summer Grace
Summer Anne
Summer Brooke
Summer Belle
Summer Hope
Summer Faye

One syllable girly names seem to well with Summer.

Love this name. I'd use it if I could convince DH! I don't know any Summers or know of any. I think it's a good name because it conjures up ideas of fun and playfulness and joy. It could totally work on a baby, child and woman. I think it's a great name and totally underused.

I was surprised to see it in a baby

Strange?

I know a 1-year-old Summer. I've always liked it as a name but must admit I was surprised to see it in a baby.

I'm not a fan, tbh. I think it will be very dated soon. Can't see it becoming a classic.

Ha *QuitMoaning is your last name Thyme?

RiverTam · 25/07/2017 13:35

Super an Aussie friend of a friend called her Dd this - spelt Summah. Which sounds unbearable gormless to me!

I do like the name though!

MelinaMercury · 25/07/2017 13:33

I like it.

I know 5 ranging from 2 to 9 years so it is quite popular here (NE Scotland).

Iwasjustabouttosaythat · 25/07/2017 13:28

I sighed a little bit with how lovely that name actually is and slightly wish I'd thought of it for one of my girls. Could also be that I'm struggling with a Southern Hemisphere winter. Grin

Bit too American and will date

Epipgab · 25/07/2017 01:00

It's a lovely name Smile

SuperBeagle · 24/07/2017 23:14

I think it sounds awful in my Australian accent - "summa".

In principle, I like it and the association with the season, but in actuality I just think it sounds bad.
