What vibe does "Summer" have to you?

I've always liked the name Summer but I'm not sure if it's "my style"...

I know some people who view Summer as an earthy nature-inspired name while others view it as more preppy. What connotation does it have for you? One of these? Something else?

    Hippie and ditzy. With that said, I still like the name but would never use it.

    Ditzy as in blonde valley girl cheerleader? Lol.. I'm asking because I think some people view Summer that way but to me that's the opposite of hippie so maybe you meant something else

    I agree with pp, I'd put it in the somewhat hippie/nature/free spirit category

    I think hippie and ditzy, too. I can't picture a professional adult named Summer.

    Yes, ditzy as in blond, valley girl cheerleader. I meant hippie or ditzy. One Summer may be hippie and another Summer may be ditzy. I can't imagine a professional Summer, just my experience with every Summer I've ever met.

    I really wanted to use it as a middle name for my due-in-June baby but it just doesn't sound right with our last name. I love it, it's a nature name without being a hippy name.

    I don't know about a style, but the name just seems dated to me.

    Gotcha ;) Haha.. These are certainly interesting perspectives! I've never thought of it as unprofessional, I know quite a few adults (professionals) named Summer.. Must be a regional thing! But this is all good to know. Thanks for the feedback!! :)

    Edit: that was supposed to be a quote up top (oops)..

    I agree! I really like names that are nature-inspired without sounding like a pot head. I'm just afraid other people don't view it that way..
