Put the winter coats away and break out the sandals. The warm weather, the longer days, the blooming flowers — it's summertime, baby! And for parents with an actual summertime baby, why not choose a name inspired by the sunny season? After all, isn't summer the best season? They don't call it Endless Summer for nothing. On that note, no one would ever call it Endless Winter.
Why is it so exciting to have a summertime baby? Here's a fun fact about babies and seasons: summertime is the season when the most babies in the US are born! So it's a big club and that is a reason to celebrate! Plus, babies born during the summer are more optimistic and smarter (if they're, ahem, female!)
That's enough reason to want to name the new little one after the summertime, right? Now click ahead to read some summertime-inspired baby girl names!
SUMMER
Sorry, sorry, we know. The baby girl name Summer is super obvious, but c'mon, one has to admit that it's pretty adorable! The name embodies sunshine and beauty — perfect for any newborn baby girl.
JUNE
Although most of the month of June is technically not summer, we think June is still a short and sweet baby girl name. The name originates from the Roman goddess Latih Juno, who is the goddess of marriage and queen of the gods.
LILY
Who doesn't love lilies? These trumpet-shaped flowers bloom from early summer to late fall so Lily is the perfect name for a baby girl born in the summertime. Not to mention that the flower represents purity and perfection — so lovely!
MARISOL
Which two things embody summer? How about the sea and the sun? That's why we love the name Marisol for summer baby girls. In Spanish, the name literally translates from "Mar," which means sea, and "Sol," which means sun.
JULIA
The name Julia is a classic and elegant choice for baby girls. We love it for summer because it reminds us of July, the month that epitomizes summertime.
NERIDA
For a more uncommon baby girl name, consider the name Nerida. In Greek, the name means "mermaid," which we think sums up a summer baby perfectly.
AUGUSTA
The baby girl name Augusta is bold and strong. Although it is related to the Latin name Augustus, we think it's also representative of the summer month of August.
PEARL
How precious is the baby girl name Pearl? It may sound old-fashioned, but we still love it for a newborn summertime baby because it is the birthstone for June, after all!
DAISY
Here's a fun fact: the daisy flower's name in Old English means "day's eye" and is inspired by the flower's round, yellow center resembling the sun. So it's undeniable that the cute baby girl name Daisy is perfect for a summer child!
KIRA
The name Kira is feminine but unusual. We adore it because in Persian, it means "sun," which perfectly captures the essence of summer.
SKYE
How fun and enchanting is the name Skye? It's impossible to not think of a beautiful, clear summer day with this baby girl name.
CORAL
For parents who live near the ocean (or wish they did), we encourage them to consider the baby girl name Coral, named after the marine polyps, of course. The name is bright, fun, and simple. It's perfect for a carefree summertime baby.
RUBY
For the baby girl who is destined to be elegant, we love the name Ruby. This is the perfect name for a baby born in July, because rubies are the month's birthstone!
RAE
Want a sweet and simple name with a feminine flair? How about the name Rae? It's a feminized version of Ray and is reminiscent of a ray of sun.
SUSANNA
For parents who want a more classic name, we suggest the name Susanna. It derives from the Hebrew name for lily, which is a flower that blooms in the warmth of summer.
POPPY
Inspired by the brightly colored flowers that bloom in the summer sun, Poppy is a name that's both spunky and adorable at the same time. We think it's perfect for a sassy summertime baby girl.
MARIGOLD
Marigold is a stunning name that we think fits a baby girl born in the summer best. I mean, how does one not think of golden sunsets when we hear the name Marigold?
ISLA
How gorgeous is the baby girl name Isla? Yeah, we're stunned too. The name derives from the Scottish island named Islay and outside of actress Isla Fisher, isn't one you hear too often nowadays, making it a perfectly quirky pick for a summer baby.
AURORA
The baby girl name Aurora is undeniably sophisticated. After all, it is the name of Sleeping Beauty! We suggest this beautiful name for a summer baby because it comes from the Latin word for "dawn," and dawn in the summertime when it's warm out is a pretty lovely moment.
ROSEMARY
Forget the movie named Rosemary's Baby and focus on the fact that the lovely name Rosemary in Latin means "dew of the sea." And who doesn't love the scent of freshly cut rosemary? This makes it the perfect choice for a sweet summer baby.
