For a child not born in April?

I have an April and she was born in April. It really suits her! A lot of people say ooh what a pretty name and only one or two ask if she was born in April.

Not sure she would have been called April if she wasn't born in April though.

I have a neice with the name April, she was born in June. Her name is lovely Smile

furry turnip that's what my dh says.
I do think it's a really pretty name, and it means "opening" (as in flowers) or new beginnings, which I think is lovely. Just worried she'll get "were you born in April?" Or "but you were born in March" all her life. Or we will as parents, which will irritate me!!

No, I rather like it. I like Avril more though, the French version. I know two and they are both tough, funny, happy souls. To my ear, Avril sounds more 'namelike' than April.

no it's nice

No, it's lovely, and I'd say better if they aren't born in April as that would be a bit corny.

No. Or you culd use the Spanish version Abril?
