I was just considering “Summer” as a middle name (which I still like, despite the “dis” here :[ ) but maybe Suvi would work well… just as long as people aren’t determined to hear “Sylvie” or something like that. Hmm.

There is also the Lithuanian female name of Vasare, va SAH ray which means “summer.”

Xanthe *is* an appealing choice, indeed! She’ll be Name of the Day on August 27.

And you’re right – the lovely Lily is terribly overexposed these days – it doesn’t seem that way, thanks to all the variant spellings and endings, but add them together and it’s no wonder you hear it on every playground!

I absolutely love alot of these names. I like Diana (my one aunt’s name is Diane, so I’m partial to it), Leah, Leo, Natsumi, Rose, Ruby, Seika, Selena, and Tess. I love Calla, Yuri or Lilia instead of Lily. They all mean Lily or are a type of lily. Actually, Yuri is the Japanese word for lily. Lily is so common and overused as a first name these days.

I know this name has nothing to do with summer, but how about Xanthe? I saw it somewhere and I love the sound of it. It’s pronounced Zan-thee. I am a huge fan of it. This is another one of the names I am thinking of for my future kids.
