Trust me, as a writer, picking a name for your characters is something that we take seriously. Sometimes, the name comes easily, almost as if the character named themselves. Other times, it can be an agonizing decision – going back and forth. What sounds better? Is this character a Zadie or an Ann? Paul or Paula? Think about it, would Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz have been better as a Susan? It’s hard to imagine, isn’t it? Scarlett O’Hara as a Clementine doesn’t have the same magic. Some character names are forever ingrained in our consciousness.
Now, what do you think when you hear the name Summer? There have been a few Summers in our pop culture. Would a Summer by any other name still be as likable, or unlikable, or privileged, or bitchy, or bubbly? Check out our list of our 10 favorite fictional Summers and tell us what you think in the comments below.

Thanks for reminding me how many “summers’ there have been via the lens of the screen. I loved this from Summer (clues) to Summer Finn. Great idea and cross mash-up of culture. thanks!
