Hi Lily. hmm, I've never cared for Eleanor, (or Elinor) it seems TOO understated and slightly homely to me, but I can see why others might like it as he has a certain simplicity and that lovely L in the middle (a feature I really like in names) and it's mature sounding. I do love Summer but also like it spelled Somer (as you may recall I unofficially changed my middle DD's middle name to Somerset). Summer does have a certain vibe that could either go preppy or tacky-but I still like it. I do like Summer Rain as "cheesy" as it may seem to some, I think it is adorable and a middle name is a place to be whimsical if you like. It's not too GP-ish for me. I personally dislike Rose as a middle name. (in fact, I just dislike Rose, period).

I really like the idea of doing what feels right and you seem drawn to this. I think I actually like your combo because of, rather in spite of, its descriptive nature. Of course I'm the one who was briefly entertaining Indigo Violet so I may not be the person to ask, lol! Rain is just beautiful. I like it as a first name.
