Summer Solstice Baby!

We're booked in for an cesarean on 21st June.
We don't know the babys gender but are still stuck on boys names so thinking something to do with sun/summer/light kind of meaning might give us a bit of inspiration?

Summer seems the obvious for a girl.

I'd use the midsummer reference as a middle name. Those I know with names that say when they were born say they don't like it.

Ahh how lovely op! I love solstice.

Summer would be a beautiful name for a solstice girl.

Leto means summer in a variety of languages. Vara is summer in Romanian.

They'd make nice m/f middle names I think. Maybe not first name.

I have a summer solstice baby (now 14 though). We didn't know he would be a solstice baby and had already chosen a name so didn't give him a related name, but only yesterday had a conversation about him being a sun god and that we should have named him Apollo. Which a lot more exciting than his actual name!

I have a winter solstice baby and another winter solstice baby on the way. I was really considering the name solstice

Lucien means light.

partyatthepalace · 02/06/2021 23:44

Lucian or Lucy (Lucienne etc) for light
Juno
Theia, Freya, Aine, Sulis, Olwen - goddesses of light in Greece, Scandinavia and around Britain.

Summer I think is a bit downmarket these days so I would only use as a middle name, Sunshine is cute as a middle name (also I think these names are too much pressure to be sunny), Solana could be a middle name, Or June. Think Solstice is Going Too Far.

I adore Lucien. Lucien Apollo would be amazing

How about the Italian Elio for a boy? (derived from the name of the Ancient Greek Sun God Helios).

Lots of choice for girls - less common ones might be Sunniva (Old English/Scandi name meaning "sun gift") or Tesni (Welsh name meaning "warmth from the sun")
