personally i think its a beautiful name, but i knew someone named summer that was just a real bratty snob so its kinda worn down on me

A bit strange to name a child after a season, but why not, it's not ugly.

I used to think the same as you about Summer, but now I really like it, it has a fresh and kind of unconcerned sound that I love.
I love Autumn too, and Winter is nice.

It is not really my style, although I know a few Summers, one of whom spells her name Sommer.

I used to think the same as you, "what kind of name is Summer?". Now I simply love it!! I would use it. For the mns how about...
Summer Leilani
Summer Ianthe (ee-An-thee)
Summer Mai (Mah-ee)

I know, I like weird exotic and foreign names. ;)

I usually wouldn't like this type of name but I really think it's pretty!

Don't love it or hate it. I don't care for season names. It's nms but it's not hideous.

Thanks guys!!!! It's always nice to hear others opinions :)

I think it's nice. I knew a cute little girl named Summer--she had red hair and freckles. Her middle name was James, her mother's surname. I think these would sound nice:

Summer Jane
Summer Julia
Summer Amanda
Summer Christina
Summer Amelia

I know a young woman (about 20 or so) named Summer. I worked with her.

The name struck me as the sort of name that parents who were modern pagans of some sort would use, since it refers to nature.. and she was old enough that her parents could have grown up in the 1960s and been 'hippies.'

---

For a kid named today, I don't think the pagan/hippie thing is so strong, nor negative at any rate. But I do think that that particular nature name has a really unusually sensuous sound, because of the stressed UH and the paired Ms. That's something that will lessen as the name gets more common (and as other nature-names that have concrete images attached get more common), I'd guess. It could also be influenced by the Summer that I knew, who was tall, willowy, a bit vain, and had a sort of flirtatious, languid way of carrying herself.

I like the name.

I like it. Hubby would not even consider it.

To be honest, I really dislike this name. There's just something about the sound and the way it looks. I much, much, much prefer Winter or Autumn.
