Down to final 2 girls name combinations....

  1. Sofia Matilda
  2. Summer
Struggling with middle name for Summer, as Summer Matilda seems a bit clunky. Any ideas for a middle name for Summer welcome, preferably something Spanish/Greek.

@galliverstravels I'm glad I've found someone else that doesn't think it's strange.
I really like Matilda Summer but a friend has a Matilda, so I feel I will have to ask permission to use.
Update shortlist is Matilda Summer/Summer Matilda or Summer Lucia.

I don't think it's strange. Usher Raymond IV the R&B singer goes by his first and middle name. It's up to you what you feel is best for your child to be known as.

Matilda Summer is the best one. Summer is not to my taste at all.

I know quite a few who go by the first and middle name, but the names tend to be Sarah Jane or David John type names, not Summer Matilda, which is much longer.

Summer Eleni
Summer Katina
Summer Theodora
Summer Eirini
Summer Penelope
Summer Meadow
Summer Alexandra
Summer Iris
Summer Araceli
Summer Daphne
Summer Gabriela

🤞Please not 'Summer Meadow'🤞

You might as well give her the middle name 'term' or 'holiday' 🙄

Sophia Matilda is lovely (I don't like the Sofia spelling).

Don't like Summer at all.

Summer Breeze

Just wanted to say I have a Summer Olivia and it suits her beautifully and we have never looked back. I think all of these suggestions are really pretty as well. I think Sofia is a stunning name, we also liked it a lot, but I have since met an awful lot of little Sofia's/Sophia's so I'm glad we went with Summer. Good luck!

@TimesHappyTimes , Usher Raymond IV the R&B singer goes by his first and middle name.
I thought he went by Usher. His father was Usher Raymond III.

You can't compare stage names or pen names to real names because they are often used because someone else already has the name.
(e.g David Tennant was born David McDonald, Reese Witherspoon are her last two names, Joseph Conrad used the anglicised versions of his first and third names)

This.

Nealy all of them have 2-syllable 1-syllable forms.
I also know a few who go by Sarah Lou/David Tom short for Sarah Louise/David Thomas type of names

It's probably why most of the middle name threads suggest a whole pile of 1-syllable names.

I prefer a shorter first name, longer middle name combo because I find the Lily Rose, Ellie May, Arlo James, Noah Jay type names a bit too twee.

Isn't there a pretty Spanish name you could use?
Something like Cruz or Ines.

Another vote for Summer Lucia
