Fairies
Fairies represent in midsummer night dreams because fairies are nature like water, fire, and air. Nature represents summer in a way.
Do you mean what they're called? If so they are called eventide fairies. Their names are Peaseblossom, Cobweb, Moth and Mustardseed.
Traditionally, Midsummer is the point when the veil between the fairy world and the mortal world lifts, and fairies and human are believed to mingle. Shakespeare's play is based round the mischief the fairies get up to at Midsummer. Hence the name.

The fairies add the possibility of events outside the normal range of possibility: men turning into donkeys, people suddenly falling in and out of love and so on.

Fairies are typically named after the flower that they are associated with for their livelihood. A few personal names for fairies have been:TitaniaOberonAriealThumbalina
In Shakespeare's time, "mote" referred to "moth."
In "A Midsummer Night's Dream," the fairies and Oberon, their king, have power over the mortal characters due to their magical abilities. Oberon uses his magic to manipulate events and cause mischief among the human characters in the play. The fairies, especially Puck, further influence the actions and behaviors of the mortal characters through their enchantments.
Oberon and Titania come from Midsummer Nights Dream. Ariel and Miranda come from The Tempest. Umbriel does not come from Shakespeare at all, but from Alexander Pope's Rape of the Lock. All of them except Miranda are fairies or spirits.
It does take place throughout mid-summer, but Midsummer Night's Eve is when all the fairies are believed to come out and "play". Playing tricks on people walking through the woods, some haunting passing travelers, a night for them to have fun. So it is based then so the use of the fairies can be used with no questioning in that time.
