I’m thinking of using [name_f]Summer[/name_f] as a first name. [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] is my favourite as they are both meaningful to me. [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is also a front runner as they are both family names but I’m worried that it is too summery and cliche. What do you think? [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Marise[/name_f], [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Maria[/name_f] and [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Marisa[/name_f] are all family names but I’m not as inclined to them as I would be the first two.
The following middle names have little to no meaning… [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Lux[/name_f]
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Alba[/name_f]
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Saffron[/name_f]
Would you use any of these? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you have any favourites or any suggestions?
My favorite out of the combos you listed is [name_f]Marise[/name_f], if it is pronounce mah-rhys. I don’t really love the name [name_f]Summer[/name_f], or like it to be honest, but that flows well for a girl combo.
I really prefer [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_f]Augusta[/name_f], [name_u]January[/name_u], [name_f]Avril[/name_f], or even [name_f]April[/name_f] or [name_f]Autumn[/name_f].
other middles that go well with [name_f]Summer[/name_f]:
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Joelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_u]Jay[/name_u]
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f]
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Adrienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_u]Dominique[/name_u]

[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f]
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] Oaklyn
Since [name_f]Summer[/name_f] is a common English word, I think another word in the middle spot should be avoided. [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] sounds like a description of a THING rather than a [name_m]PERSON[/name_m]'s name. [name_f]Summer[/name_f] isn’t ideal with “M” middle names. I think [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] is a winner because it not only sounds good but has special meaning for you.
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] is my favourite out of the names you listed. I agree that [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is a bit too cutesy and cliche. And I dont think [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Marisa[/name_f] feels a bit too “The O.C” for me. The other ones I just dont really care for.
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] - I’m not a huge fan of [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f], it feels very dated to me. [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] - I think it’s very cute. As a whole, I prefer the name [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] to [name_f]Summer[/name_f], but both are nice.
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Marise[/name_f], [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Maria[/name_f] and [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Marisa[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Marisa[/name_f] best out of these, but I’m not dazzled by it.
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Alba[/name_f] - I’m not a huge fan of [name_f]Alba[/name_f]. [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] - I love the name [name_f]Saffron[/name_f], but I’m not a huge fan of the S alliteration.
I like [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] best. As a [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] derivative, it’s classic (not dated) to me. And if the name is meaningful to you, I say roll with it. I think the more classic middle tempers a less traditional first name. [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] isn’t really my style. Sounds vaguely like a specific kind of [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]. [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Marise[/name_f], [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Maria[/name_f], [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Marisa[/name_f]– to me this sounds like a cocktail of special at a restaurant instead of a name. [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Alba[/name_f]– not a fan of [name_f]Alba[/name_f]. [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Saffron[/name_f]. I’m a huge fan of the name [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] (in theory), but this is another case of giving your daughter a name that doesn’t sound like a name. I picture this as a paint color at Home Depot or a new nail polish color. Because [name_f]Summer[/name_f] is an adjective (and noun), I think it needs to be paired with a more traditional middle name.
I love [name_f]Summer[/name_f]! It reminds me of 500 Days of [name_f]Summer[/name_f], a movie I adore, and just generally happiness and meadows of flowers.
But I agree that [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is a little bit too much… Two word names rarely ever work, and these ones particularly because a summer daisy is a real thing. [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] association, but too powerful and obvious. The only combination of this kind I would really consider would be [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f].
I don’t care very much for [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]. It sounds a little bit dated to me, but if it really means something to you, then I think it’s the best option. However, [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] or [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] is a classic that would counterbalance the daring in [name_f]Summer[/name_f] beautifully. You could also take the meaning of [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f], which is “pure”, which will broaden your list to:
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Agnes[/name_f]
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Amena[/name_f] (my favorite)
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Ines[/name_f] (ee-NEZ)
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Glenys[/name_f]
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Virginia[/name_f] (beautiful, but again, it sounds vaguely like a town named [name_f]Summer[/name_f] in [name_f]Virginia[/name_f])
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_u]Wynn[/name_u]
In the end, I think I would go with [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]!
