First impressions, Violet. It's classic. Although i havev a feeling its going to increase in popularity this year.
However April is quirky, slightly retro and could grow on me the more I think about it.

April. Love it.

Violet is also pretty, but very popular.

And ignore the people that say you can't call her April unless she is born in April. That is nonsense!

My relative is April. She was born in May!
It's a gorgeous name. Def a bit quirky.

I much prefer Violet. No particular reason, I just find it a more appealing name.

Both are lovely. You could also consider Avril or Viola...

April - I love this name. It's so happy and pretty without being flowery.


I do like Violet too though. I see Violets as dark haired only though.

Violet.

To me, April sounds very dated.

April.

Really not a fan of Violet, just looks like violent written down and I think it's arduous to pronounce so people often say 'vi-let'

Violet!

Agree with op that sounds Dated. Though obviously Violet is old school, April is more 80s to me
