[Opinions] Re: Summer
in reply to a message by Billina
I love the name Summer! I love how it sounds. But I'm not crazy about the season. I love the season autumn, but not the name Autumn. It may seem silly, but I don't think I'd want to use Summer because I wouldn't want people to get the idea that I love the season. But I wouldn't want to use the name Autumn because I think it's ugly.
Actually, I prefer the spelling Somer, even though it's surnamey and I'm the first one to dump on surnames for girls. This is an exception. Somer just seems southern-belley to me. It seems really nineteenth century. I can see it on a nineteenth century girl in a way I can't other surnames. I guess that's why I like it. But I've found that few others like the spelling Somer. But I do.
