Can I have a Summer Eve?

[namechangedforthis3rd]

We are definitely set on Summer - DH and I both love it and it's the only name we can both agree on :) and Eve is a family name on both sides. Does it sound silly? Like you're saying Summer Evening??

Summer Eve/Dove, sounds very pretty.

Summer Dove sounds like a farrow and ball paint.

Why not Summer Aoife? Or Summer Eva?

Would still honour the relative but wouldn't look like... well, a summer eve.

My first thought was that Summer Eve sounds like a feminine hygiene product. According to a pp, it actually is one.

So that's a no from me.

Summer Evelyn?
Summer Yvette?

Summer Doris just sounds silly, tbh - the names are poles apart in style.

Oh god, NO. Summer's Eve is the name of a douche in the US.

Stick another name in the middle. Friend of mine did that when the first and middle names she wanted were problematic together (spoonerism in her case).

In that case I'd not use a middle name. Eve is lovely but with Summer it's too "wordy".

Is this a joke?

As others have said, it's the name of a vaginal double. Call her Fanny Shower.

It is lovely but unfortunately I also have to point out that Summer's Eve is a brand of vaginal douche.

The name does crop up in films occasionally too so it's not like she can avoid it by never going to the US. A remake of 'Attack of the 50 Foot Woman' features a tanker truck of Summer's Eve going up to the barn where she lives.

As suggested above, what about an extra middle name in between? Do the Eve and Doris from your family have middle names you like, or you could add in your own first or middle name? I also like the idea of a longer name which includes Eve, e.g. Summer Evelyn, Summer Genevieve.

Summer Genevieve

I like it.

I once met a May Ball. That's not helping is it?

Why does the middle name have to be a family name?

We gave our DD an unusual first name and a more classic middle name so that she'd have a choice.

Summer's Eve feminine hygiene products are all that come to mind.

No. Just no.

No. NO.

NOOOOOOOOOO.

No.

This reminds me of the time one friend wanted to call her daughter Georgie (surname Michael) and the other her son Harry (surname Porter). Years on, it still makes me laugh!

As a PP suggested, I'd go for two middle names with Eve being the last one.

Summer Doris Eve?
Summer Eva/Everlie/Evelyn/Evangeline?

What's the Evie treatment then?

Summer Joy

Summer Doreen? Bit of Eve and Doris in there. Personally I liked Summer Eve.

Summer Niamh? Sounds v similar.
