My father grew up in Somersetshire and I love the works of Somerset Maugham. From this, you would think that I'd have a masculine feeling for the name. But I don't. Perhaps it's because I like Summer for a girl. But I love Somerled for a boy so that can't be it. Search me. I really don't know why I love it on a girl.

I have a combo for a girl: Lee Somerset. Lee for the River Lee in Ireland near where my mother grew up and Somerset for my dad.

So yeah. I love Somerset on a girl. As a fn? Hmmmm something really English country, peaches and cream:

Somerset Georgia
Somerset Alice / Alix
Somerset Catherine
Somerset Hannah
Somerset Clare (two counties for the price of one?)
Somerset Diana
Somerset Julia
Somerset Blythe
Somerset Emma
Somerset Evelyn (Mr. Maugham meets Mr. Waugh?)
Somerset Afton (English county meets English river?)
Somerset Miranda
Somerset Eliza

And for a nn you could use Sunny. Somer / summer --> Sunny. :-)

Whichever gender you use please combine it with a recognizably masculine or feminine name.
