Can I use this name?

[Feelslikea1sttimer]

I have decided today I really like the name Summer, But my baby girl is due in Novemeber... Will this sound ridiculous for a mid-winter baby? x

It's not great used as a name even for a summer baby, tbh.

I'm not keen on the name either and I think it may seem a bit daft for a winter baby, sorry.

I like summer.

You could use Somer like Somerset. I think there is a river Somer too. Not too sure how I feel about that spelling though as it doesn't look quite right to me

If you really like summer I would use I even though it is November. In the southern hemisphere it would nearly be summer :)

You can name your baby whatever you like. I wouldn't use Summer though, in the same way I wouldn't use Autumn for a summer baby.

I think that is what I thought too... I was so convinced I was having a boy, it has thrown me into a tizz now they have told me girl, I know I have 20 weeks to decide but I am panicking!!! Eek!!!

I think it's a pretty name, and fine to use it whenever you like

I think itis pretty and why wouldn't you have summer in theAutumn?

Any name at any time is your choice, but seeing as you've asked it's had a moment of popularity but is all set to date in a fad kind of way and yes I would think naming a winter baby Summer. Sorry.

Don't like it full stop

Thanks everyone...

I have moved on from this one, I am onto Elsie now, I think I will go through quite a few names in the next 4 and a bit months. It's great to get opinions though, thanks.

i love 'summer', but specifically didn't call dd it because she was born in january...

Elsie used to be an old ladies name to me but the more I've heard it recently, the more it's grown on me. It really is a pretty name.

Much prefer Elsie ( I know a small one and it really suits her)

Prefer Elsie to Summer.

Also like Elsa.

I prefer Summer, Autumn and Winter to Elsie. It's a purely personal thing but I just can't warm to Elsie as a name. I knew a baby Elsie, she's 3 now and the name never grew on me.

I much prefer Elsa but really like Elise.

Haha... I'm not sure winter will grow on me!

I can't stand Elise but I my because I know someone with a daughter called Elise and I can't stand the mother!

A friend named her daughter Summer about 7 years ago. I know it's supposed to be faddy & popular/common place but I've never actually met another. It's pretty and suits her. I know you say you've now moved on from this name, but you've got a wee while to go OP, so you may come back to it! Great suggestion from BugsyBill for 'Somer/Somerset'. That takes care of the seasonal problem too.

FWIW I can't stand Elsie. It's an 'old lady chic' name that - for me - is all old lady and no chic. Aside from that, I think it's super popular and will date quite quickly due to its sudden popularity and inevitably quick decline.

Good luck, OP!

How about Elisabeth with Elsie as nickname?

My Sister is Elizabeth so that wouldn't work.

I am very fickle when it comes to names, my 1st wasn't decided til I was in the labour ward and my 2nd didn't have a name for a week...
