I don’t know if I’d ever actually getting around to using it. My roots are closer to Vasares than they are to Sumarlinas. But I think it is just plain gorgeous. Would make a cool middle name for a summer baby.

BTW, where did you find the top 100 for Iceland. I’ve only been able to find the top 10.

As for Sumarlina, I can’t say I’m much of a fan. It may be because of where I grew up, but when I see the name I want to pronounce it “SOO-mar-LEE-nuh”, and getting my tongue around the thing just makes it seem overly complicated and frilly.

It’s a little on the frilly side for my personal tastes, but it is pretty and I could definitely see this one as usable (why not?). Too bad it doesn’t have the thorn rune, though (that would be super-cool, if not completely confusing here in the states!) All in all I like it… I hope someone uses it – just for the fact that it would be truly unique gives it extra cache!

On a separate note – I will not be choosing from my beloved list of girls names – we shall be venturing into the uncharted (for us) ‘boys names’ realm for this next one!

It is a pretty sounding and looking name though!
