Definitely Sienna for me, pretty name!

DramaAlpaca · 15/07/2020 21:06

Sienna, it's way more elegant than Summer.

wishing3 · 15/07/2020 12:00

I prefer Sienna. How about Viola or Thalia?

Tavannach · 15/07/2020 11:55

Summer, as long as she's born in the summer.
I also like Sasha. (Sacha is usually the boys' spelling.)

Summer - lovely on a girl or teenager but doesn’t really work for an adult imo
Sienna - nice, if a little overused. I know a Siena and to a previous posters’ point, I know it’s a nod to Italy so I don’t see it as a misspelling but I do think a lifetime of having to correct people is enough to rule it out.

Alternatives:

Serena
Seren
Selina

Sienna

VenusClapTrap · 15/07/2020 10:46

I like Sienna.

How about Venetia?

RLOU30 · 14/07/2020 22:28

Sienna always makes me think of laxatives

Bertyb7 · 14/07/2020 22:21

I would choose Summer Daffodil

Intastellaburst · 14/07/2020 19:36

I like Sienna best, it’s more interesting. Savannah might be an alternative.

@Snowfallst, OP asked for opinions. If people on here are saying it, then chances are that RL people will think it.

FawnDrench · 14/07/2020 18:00

Olympia

Grufallosfriends · 14/07/2020 13:23

The question by Op wasn't to be rude about her two name choices

The op asked for opinions! Hopefully honest opinions.

Grufallosfriends · 14/07/2020 13:22

I don't like either. But if I had to choose then Sienna

Loveinatimeofcovid · 14/07/2020 13:15

They both sound like the name of a teenage film character. Cute for a child but a bit weird as they get older, can you really imagine a 90 year old called summer?

Pinkypink · 14/07/2020 13:10

Prefer Sienna.
Also like Sacha as pp suggested

Snowfallst · 14/07/2020 12:58

I like both! Both gorgeous I couldn't choose. I also like Sasha

MikeUniformMike weren't you taught if you have nothing nice to say....don't say it?
The question by Op wasn't to be rude about her two name choices. I really don't understand MN
If it's not your style of name then why comment to just be rude Hmm

beautifulmonument · 14/07/2020 11:20

Summer

mintich · 14/07/2020 11:15

Sienna

Flappingflamingo · 14/07/2020 11:11

Don't like either sorry

MikeUniformMike · 14/07/2020 10:46

Sienna is the better of the two.

Scarlett, Susanna or Sarah might be alternatives.

MikeUniformMike · 14/07/2020 10:44

Both seem a bit downmarket, sorry.

Whatsyourflava · 14/07/2020 10:33

Martha? Mabel?

Whatsyourflava · 14/07/2020 10:32

Or Felicity?

Whatsyourflava · 14/07/2020 10:32

Both really lovely names
How about Clementine nn Clemmie
