Myself and partner are struggling to agree on names. I have 2 DS ages 18 and 16 called Regan and Logan and my partner has 2 DC ages 20 and 19 called Ryan and Robyn.

I like River but my partner hates it. We both like Summer for a girl and my partner also likes Paisley for a girl but we live in Glasgow so I feel we live really really close to the town called Paisley??? My partner also would like to name a boy after his father Walter??? Thoughts??? I'm not so keen although the idea is lovely.

Surname will be Parker, any suggestions?

I know a couple of little Walters at the moment, I think it's making a comeback. Neither have had any negative reactions as far as I know.

Summer and River are really nice - glad you both agree on summer at least

Walter is bad imo (but yes, lovely idea). And I don't think you can call a child Paisley if you live in Glasgow.

I don't have strong feelings either way about Summer.

How about Dylan for a boy? Or Rowan (could be boy or girl)?

Summer is a lovely name. If you had Paisley as middle name it won't come up often so I don't think the place name would be a problem.

I quite like Walter. Walt would be a cool nickname!

I have a 2 year old Summer and always get compliments on her name. Mumsnet seems to hate it, though.

I'm not sure on Walter. I know somebody who had a Walter about two months ago and it just doesn't seem right on a baby!
