What do you think about the name Summer?

in Baby Names

I always thought of this as a guilty pleasure name but it's growing on me. I've vetoed all my other name choices for various reasons. My DD is Taylor. We find out the sex in 2 weeks and have chosen a boy name but are at a loss for girls names.

Thanks for your opinions!! 

ETA: Also, is it weird to name a girl Summer if she's born in September or October??

    I like it!

    I have to say, I do love the name Summer. My only reservation about the sibset of Taylor and Summer is that they both end in 'R' but, that may not bother you.

    I wouldn't use Summer personally, but I do really like to hear it on other children.

    I like it. I think it is a clean, classic name that will mature well.

    I think it's pretty. I have never met a mean Summer.

    And I don't think it matters what month she is born.

    I like it.  I don't think it matters that she's not born in the summer either.

    I love the name Summer!  It is so pretty, and it really complements Taylor as well.  I personally do not think it matters what time of year the baby is born.

    My brother and SIL named their first daughter summer. I gave him a HUGE side eye... Nice stripper name. (so that's my first thought)

    It's not that bad though.

    Yep.  Same goes with Autumn.   I don't like it at all.

    Yes, I've always felt that way about Autumn and so I guess that's why Summer was a guilty pleasure name until recently. I definitely have a nice list of what I consider "stripper names" but Summer's not on it. Thanks for posting! Smile

    OP, I think Summer and Autumn seem more like hippie names, but definitely not stripper. I would have NEVER thought that.

    My sisters middle name is Sommer.  She was born on the first day of summer. 

    I like Summer and Sommer.  Smile
