Summer Verity and Summer Violet lovely. Would you pronounce Elyse, Eleese? That's lovely too!

Pemba · 14/04/2021 14:51

I prefer Summer rather than Brooke and agree with the pp the middle names are lovely, except Everly.

But in general, I prefer your middle name choices to your first name choices (sorry!). Lyra, Anastasia and Annaliese are lovely too.

Summer Violet! Someone from work has a daughter with that name, I think it's a lovely name.

Thank you!
Yes, pronounced Eleese!

Love Verity and Violet, Violet would after my great grandmother Violet but not sure it goes with our last name sadly.

Prefer Summer over Brooke.

Violet is the best name on your list - if it were me I'd use that as the first name

Camandmitch · 14/04/2021 15:06

Lyra Elyse would be very nice.

Otherwise Summer Verity is my favourite

KirstenBlest · 14/04/2021 15:31

Verity Elise.

I think they're all lovely names, but just a couple of things to consider...
My second cousin has a daughter called Summer, and when she's mentioned people often look confused for a while until they realise you are talking about the girl, and not the season! Maybe this doesn't bother you.
Also, do you have an accent that doesn't separate words properly? If so an -er sound followed by a vowel will make it sound as if the R belongs at the start of the next word, so Summa Release.

Frazzledd · 14/04/2021 16:03

I agree about the -er followed by a vowel sounding like one word- Summer Violet is lovely!

MissyB1 · 14/04/2021 16:05

I prefer Brooke and it’s a little more unusual.

Junebabe · 14/04/2021 20:12

Brooke Elyse or Brooke Anastasia

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 14/04/2021 20:39

I really like the sound of Summer Verity.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 14/04/2021 21:14

Summer Violet. 😍😍😍😍😍

May2021Mummy · 14/04/2021 21:38

Summer Violet is my fav 💜

SE13Mummy · 14/04/2021 21:53

Summer, with Verity or Violet as her middle name. Actually, I rather like Verity Violet as a name...

CoffeeRunner · 14/04/2021 21:57

Summer Verity.

My issue with Summer Violet (which I love) is im not sure about the flow with our last name... which begins with "Mun"

Is the baby going to be born in the summer?

Alleyplus2 · 14/04/2021 22:39

Yes...yet surprisingly has no relevance to why I like the name Summer. Just always have.

Summer Verity is lovely. Summer Violet sounds like a colour on a paint chart but not dreadful.

Yes im not sold on the flow of Summer Violet either, sadly as it was my great grandmother name so was trying to make it work.

ladygindiva · 14/04/2021 22:50

Summer Elyse is lovely

SE13Mummy · 15/04/2021 00:49

Pick Verity Violet! I think it could work with Mun as your last name...

Enough4me · 15/04/2021 00:56

Violet Summer Mun...

Frazzledd · 15/04/2021 09:34
