Middle name help

[Mash2]

We have two sons already with one syllable middle names. Wanted to carry on the same theme for our daughter but really struggling to find one syllable middle names we like to go with Summer.

I have a couple one syllable middle names but more middle names that aren’t one syllable. Do you think it matters if we don’t carry on the theme with her?

These are the names we have so far, which one goes best?

• Summer Belle
• Summer Bleu
• Summer Everly
• Summer Aubrey
• Summer Elodie
• Summer Macy

I liked Summer Elodie from your original list but I think you are set on a shorter/one syllable name?
Posy, Paisley, Bloom are all nature theme which you say you don't want. Emery makes me think of an emery board. Bo, presumably pronounced Beau? It sounds like a cutsey name for a summer boyfriend.

Some more suggestions,
Summer Beth
Summer Blake
Summer Gwen
Summer Kim
Summer Lynn
Summer Nell
Summer Niamh
Summer Reece

Non sound right with summer.
What about Everleigh, Aubrey, Harriet, or Penelope

Everly and Aubrey were on my original list so I do like these ones :)

No I’m not set on a shorter name, I originally was but there’s none that I like that go. My favourites are Summer Everly and Summer Elodie. Just had most people say they didn’t like any of the names on here so thought I’d add the others on the potentials list, but I didn’t really think any of them went as well. I just feel like nothing properly goes with the name, really struggling this time round!

Fair enough. Not sure where abouts you are, Posy isn’t common at all around here, noones called it that I know or have heard of.

Yes all of these names I wasn’t really happy with but just thought I’d add them on seeing as most people didn’t like my original choices.

I guess people have different opinions and tastes and I just need to go with what I think!

Yes, 100%. You won't please everyone so you can and should only please yourself and your partner. It's your family.

Summer Everly/Aubrey/Elodie are lovely anyway, imo.

Summer Posy is way too twee. You’re essentially calling her a bunch of flowers.

I like Summer Elodie - a very sweet combination.

Suggestions:
Summer Elise
Summer Anoushka
Summer Elfrieda
Summer Opal
Summer Guinevere
Summer Elowen
Summer Lyric
Summer Christabel

Summer Posy as opposed to Spring Bouquet, Winter Spray or Autumn Garland?

First name Summer limits you in terms of the middle name - i.e. it rules out noun-y names such as Posy and Bloom (er, Bloom?) or Rose, Eve, Meadow, Raine, for example. Unless you actually want such a combo, in which case think very, very carefully about this child becoming an adult woman with the name.

I'd go for a very namey middle name with no overt noun meaning, such as Jane. I actually think James would be quite good - I love it as a girl name.

Summer Anne or Ann Summers perhaps?

Please don't use Bloom or Posy or another noun name (Rose, basically any flower name, Dawn, Rain/Rayne, Rae, Hope/Faith/Love/Rainbow, any colour, any month or day name etc). I put Belle in this category as well. Step away from thinking about what is cute for a little girl or a popstar (remembering that many of them use fake names), and think about them as an adult filling in job applications with their full name.

I would really seriously consider leaning towards a "boring and serious" middle name in case they end up in or at least interviewing for "boring and serious" jobs and want to default to their middle name. Elodie or Aubrey would be fine for this.

Something like Maeve would also work if it works with your surname, but also is reasonably trendy at the moment.

I personally think e or y sounds better with Summer - not another er/a sound - so something like Kate, Louise, Mary also fine but possibly too boring/safe for your name preferences.

I would stay away from Anne/Ann because of Ann Summers.
