Does anyone have a Summer or a Posy? Having failed to agree on anything we both like these but don’t know how they are received. Family aren’t keen. We want something that feels happy, conveys warmth, lightness etc

I love Posy. Its top of my girls list name. Not that I'll be having a daughter to use it!

Is Sunner an amalgamation of Summer and Stunner?

😁

Summer has gone south a bit and Posy is very babyish for an adult

Posy is a sweet little girl nickname for Rose though, so you could do that?

Don't fall into the trap of asking for opinions from your family - it will be liking naming a child by committee. You'll end up with a name that people like sort of, but no one really cares about.

Keep the decision making between yourself and the other parent - you both need to be sure of the name, and that's difficult enough.

I'm personally not a fan of Summer (or any season for that matter) as a name. Posy is OK but maybe difficult to carry off as a stroppy teenager.

The only Summer I know is one whose mother bellows it across the playground. She kind of shouts SAMMA iyswim.

Soleil is pretty and matches the meaning.

I like Posy too, especially as a nn for Primrose.( I know it’s officially a nn for Josephine but that makes no sense to me)

I quite like Summer. Not keen on Posy.
Daisy and Rosie are much nicer alternatives imo.

Posy or Posie is a nick name for Primrose, Josephine or Rose names.
There is also Poesy - meaning verse.

Do you like Rosebud or Rosemary?
Summer is sweet.
I prefer Autumn.

I find Post just far too twee. Imagine being an adult woman Posy. Names are for life not just cute babies/little children

Aurora? Conveys light and warmth, and you could go all Gilmore Girls and call her Rory?

MerryMarigold · 02/08/2023 10:03

I like them both. I have worked with 2-4 year old for the past 6 years and come across only one Posy, no Summers but tons of Rivers, a Willow, several Elsies.

MerryMarigold · 02/08/2023 10:04

I also like April as a name and never come across one, apart from one my age (50).

Summer just seems a made up name which will date badly.
Posy will rhyme with nosey at school.
