 Topic: Is this a Nice Name???
Posted: 23 April 2007 at 8:42am |
Ok me and hubbie have been arguing about our choice of names ( he hates all names as knew someone at school/work who had them etc etc!!) It took us months to settle on Ben last time which isn't tooo far out or exciting!!!
I am keen on the name Summer for a girl but he thinks its hippish and a bit cheesy but I think its pretty....
Is he right !!!!!!!

summer is great i liked it too but my sisters sister-in-law is summer so there is already a summer in our extended family and it might of been confusing for my neice and nephew.
i think it is very pretty and feminine

I think Summer is pretty but... I feel a bit funny giving season names, or month names, to my kids. So I'd be inclined to use it as a middle name I think.

your both right...
sometimes it just takes a while for a name to click with both of you...
i have friends who have named thier kids kea and willow - and an old work mate named her daughter ocean.
so tell him summer isnt that bad.

No offence but I don't like it. If DH wanted to call our child Summer I wouldn't let him, but each to their own!

Names actually take a long time to grow on me, I keep having to write it down and saying it over and over in my head till I actually start to like it!
I think Summer is a very sweet girly name, probably not one I would choose to use, but I think of a lovely, inocent, warm personality when I hear the name Summer
Anyway just IMO!

I like Summer and Willow was on my shortlist but I kind of think the opposite. With both our kids names as soon as we heard them we both thought yep thats the one. We had ones we both liked, or one really like and the other thought was ok but then we heard these names and they clicked straight away.

I think you are both right. Summer is a lovely name, it is a little hippy I guess it depends on the baby.
I sometimes wonder whether what someones named influences what they do/become as adults.

One of my good friends is called Summer. She's not hippyish in the least! I think it's a nice name & quite suits her - especially with her blonde hair.

i like it! i think its very pretty. there was a 'summer' on the OC and she wasn't a hippy and the name actually grew on me from watching that programme.
names are hard though when you can't seem to agree on one.
we had settled on 'charlie or charli' but then DH changed his mind (for a girl) at 38wks.....i thought she was going to be a he so wasn't worried. after she was born they asked us her name and i just blurted it out before DH had a chance to say anything

DP had flatmates called Summer and Willow - sisters. Their parents were hippys, but the girls were lovely, very friendly and generous. I never thought their names sounded strange, they suited them
