Potential Girl of the Year 2025 Name: Summer McKinny

With the Girls of the Year releasing earlier in the year now, it seems like we're around a year and a few months away from Girl of the Year 2025. And now, it looks like we have our first hint of the Girl of the Year that will be debuting in October 2024! Her potential name was just trademarked, and it is "Summer McKinny".

Summer McKinny, Girl of the Year 2025, American Girl of the Year, Summer American Girl

What do you think of this name? Sydney told me that she has a Truly Me named Summer, but what about you guys?


Have a good night!

Hopefully she will be the redhead you all have been wanting. Makes more sense for a McKinny to be a redhead than a Monetti.

very gaelic surname, though it's usually spelled with an "ey"

In case anyone's wondering,

- "Summer" obviously refers to the season, ultimately from Old English "sumor." It's been used as a name since the 1970s so it's definitely a modern girl.

- "McKinney" is a variant of "McKenna" (shoutout 2012!!) meaning "son of Cionaodh", the name itself coming from Cináed (shouotout Within Temptation!!). The "Cin" part could mean either "restect, esteem, affection" OR "be born, come into being" depending on root word, and the "áed" meaning "fire". So it could mean "son of the respect of fire", "son of the affection of fire", or "son of one born from fire". All pretty bad-ss!!

Gabriella was black too, so it would be great to expand that.

I think the name is AWESOME!!! It's about time we had an American Girl doll with a nature name, especially such a popular name like Summer, which has been used a lot in recent years. Because odff that, it would make sense that Summer is going to be Girl of the Year 2025. The year of my twenty-seventh birthday in exactly two years, two weeks and four days. That's right. I'm about to turn twenty-five on October 1st. Sydney and I knew each other since I was 17 and she was 10 or 11. She kind of reminded me of my main characters in my books. She talked like she was older and I couldn't believe that she was younger…
