I don't names in the top 50 are super common. Common, yes, but not overused or overly popular. I've met only one Summer in Australia but so many girls named Brooke, Hayley and Chloe :P

Thanks! You're right. I forgot about Summer's popularity in the late 70s. It didn't make the top 100 but it came close and entered the top 100 in several states. So maybe it sounds like a 70s hippie name to some. Also you're right about Autumn being kind of close to Aubrey and Audrey. Also Audie (a nn you could use for Autumn) is pretty similar to Audrey. I thought Winter would make the top 1000 but it didn't...

I actually think Wynter looks kind of surname-ish so I don't have a problem with it. Same with Sommer, but I dislike it. Autymn and Wyntyr and Summah are horrible. Have you seen that Autumm was used last year? I think there were 5 or 6 of them.
