HelpRe: Summer (M)
in reply to a message by Avatar Yangchen
Yeah, I think it would work.
I feel a little resistant to it, because I like Summer as a name for a girl, and have only ever seen that usage.
And it's not appealing to me as a boy name. I associate it as slightly surname-ish, when it's on a guy, because of all the -er surnames. When it's on a girl I associate the -er with names like Jennifer and Amber.
But if I met a guy named Summer, I'd adjust to it fast - just as fast as I would to River on a gal.
The word is just not a gendery enough concept, for me to find it jarring at all on a guy.
