[name]Greta[/name] & [name]Beatrice[/name]!

[name]Greta[/name] and [name]Hazel[/name] for me.

[name]Both[/name] beautiful, spunky and strong names. [name]Love[/name] them in the same way I love [name]Sylvie[/name] or [name]Gretchen[/name].

I am in love with [name]Lucille[/name]. Sadly my husband vetoed it at the last minute.

[name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Greta[/name] are the only two names I’d go with on that list…but [name]Greta[/name] [name]Sommer[/name] makes me think, “I regretted my summer!” So [name]Beatrice[/name] is the lovely winner.

[name]Greta[/name] and [name]Lucille[/name] are my first picks.

[name]Greta[/name] [name]Sommer[/name] just looks like a “natural” fit to me. They look like the belong together! :slight_smile:

I voted [name]Lucille[/name] [name]Sommer[/name].

All your choices are great. I love the internal alliteration of [name]Lucille[/name] and [name]Beatrice[/name], in particular.

[name]Beatrice[/name] is my favorite–first, because I so wish I could use it but can’t (initial reasons–last name begins with O…), but also because I [name]LOVE[/name] the imagery correlation of a potential [name]Bea[/name]/[name]Bee[/name] nn with your surname. I hear “[name]Bee[/name] [name]Sommer[/name]” and immediately imagine a summer afternoon and a little girl running around a flowery meadow.

[name]Greta[/name]! Pick [name]Greta[/name]!
Such a sweet little name…familiar yet uncommon. And it flows so well with [name]Sommer[/name].

I like [name]Greta[/name] [name]Sommer[/name] best. [name]Beatrice[/name] is not good, because the final -s sound of [name]Beatrice[/name] runs into the s- sound of [name]Sommer[/name], and it sounds like Beatice Ommer or Beatri-[name]Sommer[/name] or Beatra [name]Sommer[/name].

I love your list. I had to choose [name]Hazel[/name] though…it’s my favorite name. [name]Lucille[/name], [name]Greta[/name], and [name]Pearl[/name] are also wonderful choices but I love [name]Hazel[/name] [name]Sommer[/name].

[name]Greta[/name] is my favorite, but for flow with your last name I like [name]Lucille[/name] and [name]Beatrice[/name] best.

love [name]Hazel[/name] so that’s my pick!

[name]Lucille[/name]. [name]Beatrice[/name] in a close second place!

[name]Pearl[/name], [name]Beatrice[/name] & [name]Hazel[/name] for me!

I had to pick three:

  1. [name]Greta[/name] and [name]Beatrice[/name] are tied as my top
  2. [name]Lucille[/name]

Goodluck, you have some awesome names!

[name]Pearl[/name], [name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Lucille[/name] for me.

[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Sommer[/name] has an unfortunate clash of sounds, as the -ce runs into the S- of [name]Sommer[/name].

[name]Greta[/name] to me is rather harsh and heavy. And, more importantly, since your surname is an everyday word, a name ending in -a makes it sound like an article. “___ a summer.”

[name]Hazel[/name] is quirky, fun and has a lot of old lady chic, as do [name]Pearl[/name] and [name]Lucille[/name]. [name]Lucille[/name] has a light, crisp sound, and [name]Pearl[/name] [name]Sommer[/name] is very evocative without being heavy-handed.
