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! :)

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?

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!!

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.]]> Mon, 23 Apr 2007 13:28:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6935&PID=134677&title=is-this-a-nice-name#134677 <![CDATA[Is this a Nice Name??? : We had heaps of trouble agreeing...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6935&PID=134660&title=is-this-a-nice-name#134660 Author: fattartsrock

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?

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

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

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 !!!!!!!
