i like summer. and yep names take a while to grow on you, Ayja was the very bottom of our "possibly a middle name" list. but one by one the other names we really liked just didn't suit. and what do you know, one day i thought, hhhm, what about ayja nicole. told mike, and that was it.

It is not a name I would choose, but there is nothing wrong with it (other than associations I have with kids who have the name).

I like it I think it's a really pretty name but it is hard agreeing on names especially if you really like it and your DP/H doesn't.

We had heaps of trouble agreeing on names as well. I like Summer as a pretty wee girls' name, but I'm not too sure how that will "translate" to High court judge/nuclear scientist adult? Very pretty, though! (just my 2 cents worth, by the way!)

There was a Summer at Maya's playcentre and she was gorgeous, a stroppy wee thing but totally adorable. I like it as a name.
Maya's name just came to me and I instantly knew she was a Maya, Willie picked Mercedes and it was definitely a case of it growing on me coz to start with I said no way, no how was I naming my child after a truck. And Sienna's name came to me and I wrestled with it for ages coz I knew it would upset a certain person if I used it but in the end I had to have it, and it suits her.

It's not my cup of tea ...I like traditional names like Victoria, Isobel, Elizabeth, that sort of thing ...but having said that, it's such a happy, sunny name, if it's a name you love, and DH can come around to it, then go for gold!
At least you aren't calling her Spring ...   That might be inviting trouble!!

Its interesting to see how names come in and out of fashion. I like Summer however depends on the child, a brunette Summer would seem odd. Unusual names for girls are a lot more common now, with traditional name less so. Does Summer go with your family name?

I'm with fattartsrock here, everytime I think of a name, I think of how they would respond to it and what it would sound like when they're teens, adults, if they come into very prestigious careers, when they're a granny?

he he. yeah, i keep just thinking back to Aja rock - my girl will sooo not be like that!
Paris i think goes well - no matter what, it sounds a bit stuck up sometimes, till you add her second name harmony.. then it all turns to fairy. lol

I love it! I think it does translate well into adulthood,..except maybe if she becomes a weather presenter?!

I vaguely remember a thread on another site's message boards about someone who'd named their child Summah Breezz. (Yes, with that spelling!) Heaps of other posters were snarking about the spelling and how it looked like the child's parents -- and later, the child -- couldn't spell. That's the only thing that bothers me!
April Ieremia's son is named Alexanda and they call him Xanda... Which is cool, but when I see it in print, I always think Alexanda looks like it's missing an R (AlexandRa)...
So the moral of the story is, be careful how you spell their name! :)
