What do you think of the name Summer for my baby due the start of September?

Middle name would be my late nan's so would be:

Summer Eleanora

Eleanora is fine; Summer is not good imho. Elinor is gorgeous.

I'm not sure Summer goes with Eleanora. I love Eleanora but am not keen on Summer. Think it's a v pretty little girls name, but not sure how well it translates into an adult. Having siad that, there are lots of Summers now so she won't be alone

If you like it and dh likes it, why not?

Yes, very true vicbar so hard not to feel a little sad when you hear lots of negative things about a name you start to love for your dc (although that is the whole point of posting on a baby name thread !)

Bibithree, yes I also thought about the adult thing too (how it sounds as they get older) but I also thought the same as you that, as it's becoming more popular now it shouldn't stand out as a strange adult name in years to come.

It's so hard - we also like Jemima but I just don't know if it suits us as a family really... I know that sounds strange ! I just don't know.

I think I'm still waiting for a name to suddenly pop out at me and I'll think 'THAT'S THE ONE !' but I just don't think that's going to happen
