Middle name for Summer

Can't think of a middle name that i like that doesnt sound like a thing or too naturey eg Summer Rose. I do like Summer Rae but is this also too naturey? A short middle name would flow best with last name and would like something a bit stronger to balance with middle name! Any suggestions appreciated please :)

I know a 12 year Summer, it suits her too. It's a nice name and not out there.

Summer Rea (as an alternative to Rae?)

Why do people on here insist on taking the piss out of someone's chosen name?! It's not even funny.

Applesandpears56 · 26/08/2017 08:47

Summer rae will be called summer rays. Is the op taking the piss out of herself?

Summer Amy - Means "Loved"
Summer Alice
Summer Saskia - Means "Protector of mankind"
Summer Sara - Means "Princess"
Summer Shannon - Means "Possessor of Wisdom". Also Shannon is the name of a river, so it's a bit nature themed but not too in your face.

Summer Abigail - "Father's joy"
Summer Rona - "My joy"
Summer Katrice
Summer Phoebe - "Bright, radiant"

Summer Juno - Juno is a Roman goddess, the queen of Heaven.
Summer Vita - Means "life"
Summer Bridget - Means "Strong"
Summer Stella - Means "Star"

Summer Trudy - Means "Spear of strength / Universal strength"
Summer Trixie - Variant of Beatrix, "She who brings happiness"
Summer Ottoline - Means "Prosperity in battle"
Summer Dorothy - Means "Gift from God"

Just typed all that out, and then thought I'd lost it!

Happy choosing, op. Summer is a lovely name. Smile

If you like it OP that's all the counts.
Amber is in the same bracket, do you like that?

I think Elisabeth would go nice.

ladybirdsaredotty · 26/08/2017 13:39

Personally, I love Summer. I don't get the issue, either, OP.

daisypond · 26/08/2017 15:08

Not Summer Rae - summer ray/summary/summery.
Maybe something quite solid/retro. I was thinking of something like Summer Jean, but then I thought summer jeans, so maybe not. Jane? Claire?

I think you have just been unlucky with some of the posts here, for some reason, op.

It's a perfectly fine name and, in England and Wales, it is the Top 100 Girls' Names.

Mightybanhammer · 26/08/2017 17:09

Summer Raine

Bluntness100 · 26/08/2017 17:11

Summer is lovely. Summer Rae is not. Clearly it sounds like you're having a laugh as it sounds like "summery". 🤔

OnlyGodKnowsWhy · 26/08/2017 17:27

I have a teenage summer and she has never had anyone take the piss out of her name. Her school mates are obviously a bit more mature than us mners!

Her middle name is Christine. Go for a middle name you like, no-one really cares about middle names.

Summer Jane
Summer Claire
Summer Alice
Summer Leigh

I think as long as you stay away from M names and names that are also adjectives or verbs you'll be fine. Summer's a neutral, slightly American name to me. Pretty association.
