Violet April?

user1234566 · 30/04/2017 10:19

Violet

emilybrontescorset · 30/04/2017 10:17

Scarlet is my favourite.

Logolphin · 30/04/2017 10:13

Avril

There's someone in my workplace called April, and it does not occur to me to ask her if she was born in April. I think it would be really odd of me to even ask an adult that!

If her birthday was in another month then I wouldn't give it a second thought at all. April is a standalone name IMO.

April - always loved it!

If mumsnet is representative of real life there are going to be millions of little violets running round!

PandaCat · 29/04/2017 07:39

Violet :)

ZogZogZog · 29/04/2017 06:33

Violet. I pronounce it with 3 syllables and it isn't awkward to say. Congratulations!

buttercup54321 · 28/04/2017 23:37

Violet Rose

Scarlet
Violet

April and Autumn both out for me.

Ojoj1974 · 28/04/2017 22:34

Not too keen on any of them... Sorry

wonkyegg · 28/04/2017 19:50

I'm called April. I got some stick as a child but not much. Also, I wasn't born in April. I may be biased but I'd choose April. Smile

mrwalkensir · 28/04/2017 18:36

have you thought of Avril?

hlc123 · 28/04/2017 18:25

I have a Scarlett but also had Autumn and Violet on our list. April is pretty too. I'd go for Autumn as it's more unusual (sadly didn't sound right with our surname).

FiftyShadesOfDuckEggBlue · 28/04/2017 18:19

I absolutely love April, we almost chose it for our LO.

SunflowerHouse · 28/04/2017 18:12

My name is Autumn, I very rarely get asked when my birthday is. When I do, I can't say I hate it and my birthday falls in Winter! From your list, Autumn is my favourite Smile with Violet as a close 2nd.

Donna2tellaM0ss · 28/04/2017 17:55

How about
Rosa
Juliette
Lilly ?

FreshsatsumaforDd · 28/04/2017 17:47

Please don't call her April or Autumn. Mil was called June as mentioned by a PP, but born in April. She hated being asked if her birthday was in June!

itsbetterthanabox · 28/04/2017 17:45

Violet

BellMcEnd · 28/04/2017 17:42

April

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 28/04/2017 17:41

Violet
Scarlet
Autumn
April

In that order. Congratulations Grin.

MrsGB2225 · 28/04/2017 17:39

Violet.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 28/04/2017 17:38

Love April, otherwise Scarlett.

FluffyBathTowel · 28/04/2017 16:11

I think it's a bit odd to say you can't call a child April if she's not born in April. Of course you can.

I like all your names but Scarlet is my least favourite. The others are all lovely.
