Down to final 2 girls name combinations....

  1. Sofia Matilda
  2. Summer
Struggling with middle name for Summer, as Summer Matilda seems a bit clunky. Any ideas for a middle name for Summer welcome, preferably something Spanish/Greek.

I adore Summer!

How about:
Summer Francesca
Summer Elena
Summer Emilia

Summer Jayne?
Summer Marie?
Summer Layne?

I think both are nice, but I prefer Summer

@Onelife2024 and @Mangotango39 You are both amazing, Summer Lucia is just divine. Definitely going on the list.

Both are lovely names!

I personally love Sofia Matilda best, so would choose that.

Summer also nice, though, and less commonly used. I think Summer Matilda sounds nice. Other ideas -

Summer Lucia (Lu - see -a)
Summer Isabella
Summer Olivia
Summer Nicole
Summer Estelle
Summer Celeste
Summer Elise

I was going to suggest Summer Lucia - lovely!

What about Summer Sophia?

Sofia Matilda is very clunky to me, sorry. Too many "ah" sounds one after another.

yeah this. Summer Matilda is fine and flows better.

Not keen on Summer and Sofia/Sophia is overused. Anything Matilda is going to be a mouthful.

@BoleynMemories13 Thank you. I tend to call my children by their first and middle name, I just don't double barrel them. My view is there's no point giving middle name if you don't use it.
Sofia Matilda seemed to roll of the tongue better I thought. But it's really interesting for you to say Summer Matilda sounds better. I wanted to use the Spanish spelling of Sofia, as we have a holiday home there.

I actually think Sofia Matilda is far more of a mouthful than Summer Matilda as they're both 3 syllables long.

I prefer the spelling Sophia anyway so my vote goes for Summer Matilda. Or Sophie Matilda? That goes better than Sofia imo.

Or what about Matilda as a given name? Matilda Summer would be nice. Keeps the m's in both names further apart if that's what your're worried about with the flow of Summer Matilda?
