Big brother is Jayden.

Thank you!

Nice name. Very pretty, but. You'd have to have a connection to the month of April to carry it off. IMO.

Reminds me of the giraffe at the moment after watching it in labour for what seemed like months..

Stephens1988 · 25/04/2017 23:35

She was born in April!

Oh Doh. I forgot what month we were in.Grin. April's perfect then.
I can't say I'm losing the plot as I've never had it to begin with Wink

I really love this name. I know one April who was born in August and that's never caused a problem. By looks of it you are talking about an April birthday anyway. Go for it.

i love love love LOVE this name, so lucky she's born in April and you can use it! also like Avril a lot but may always be associated with Avril Levine singer

SuperBeagle · 26/04/2017 00:17

Going against the grain, I think it lacks imagination to give your child the name of the month they were born in. A June born in June just screams unoriginality, to me. Like the parent thought it was convenient that their birth month could also be a name so thought, "Fuck it, we'll name 'er June".

Buntysoven · 26/04/2017 00:45

I disagree. April is the prettiest of the month names and the only one I'd be tempted to use. Really lovely

ScarlettFreestone · 26/04/2017 00:48

Beautiful.

GinSwigmore · 26/04/2017 01:02

Avril is lovely.

GinSwigmore · 26/04/2017 01:03

Daffodil April goes nicely with Jayden.

zen1 · 26/04/2017 01:06

Very nice name.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 26/04/2017 08:09

Very pretty !

DissonantInterval · 26/04/2017 10:15

Congratulations :) Love the name April. Not used a lot but without being too wild and whacky. It has a fresh sound and it's a lovely time of year (well apart from yesterday which was very wild and whacky here). Goes nicely with Jayden too imo.

Kazzawazza69 · 26/04/2017 10:22

Love it!

KanyeWesticle · 26/04/2017 11:17

Lovely choice. Pretty and uncommon but known.

FeedTheSharkAndItWIllBite · 26/04/2017 12:51

Lovely for an April baby :)

I also like Avril. Just because April can sound really harsh in some cases.

But it's a lovely name imo.

BasicBetty · 26/04/2017 13:18

Lovely name

Amberlola259 · 26/04/2017 13:20

Lovely name x

Lemondrop09 · 26/04/2017 14:08

I think it's very pretty.

I don't agree that Summers need to be born in summer, or that April/May/Junes must be born in their respective months. I think these are all stand alone names now.

TheWayYouLookTonight · 26/04/2017 16:05

Love it!

Also, April Ludgate from Parks and Rec is awesome.

WingMirrorSpider · 26/04/2017 17:04

Really pretty. Well known but underused.

Just don't give her the middle name May Grin

MrsCharlieD · 26/04/2017 20:41

It's OK but I'm going against the grain and I don't think it goes with jayden at all. April is a traditional classics imo, jayden is a modern trendy name. To me the 2 don't go.
