The time in which our baby is born not only helps us to live a unique experience in motherhood, but it can also serve as inspiration for the moment of choosing his name.
Some time ago we shared 101 names for boys and girls inspired by spring, and now that we have started the hottest time of the year, it is time to share 101 names for girls and boys inspired by summer for your baby , as well as some information about babies born in this season.
summer babies
Summer-born babies are those born between the summer solstice , which occurs between June 20 and 21, and the autumnal equinox , between September 22 and 23 in the northern hemisphere, while in the southern hemisphere It happens between December 21 and 22, and March 20 and 21.
Summer is a time of year that we associate with the sun and heat, so those names that represent brightness and warmth are good options. In addition, summer marks the beginning of the holidays, so this time also reminds us of everything they represent: from rest and relaxation, to trips to the beach, the sea, the forest or the mountains.
During this period, we also have some important dates in the northern hemisphere that can serve as inspiration , such as the International Day of the Moon (July 20), the International Day of Friendship (July 30), World Day of Joy (August 1), International Youth Day (August 12) and the International Day of Peace (September 21)
Regarding babies, some studies have analyzed how the time in which they are born influences them, giving us some curious facts about them. For example, a UK study found that babies born during the summer months are taller and stronger than those born in the winter and spring, possibly because their mothers received more vitamin D late in their pregnancy, thanks to the greater amount of sunlight that those months bring.
Being born in the months of greatest sunlight also apparently influences the personality of babies, as another study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience found that they tend to be more cheerful and less prone to depression .
Along the same lines, another 2014 study found that the month of birth influences not only during childhood, but also in adulthood, since it was found that people born in the spring and summer months are more likely to have a hyperthymic temperament , a tendency to be excessively positive.
On the other hand, a study in the journal Sleep found that people with spring and summer birthdays generally go to bed later than those born in the fall and winter. They tend to be “night owls.”
