How on earth do I name this baby girl!?

I am so stressed right now Sad she's 5 weeks and 2 days. We can't agree on anything. He says he doesn't like any name apart from Lily 🙄 Lily is okay but definitely not a name that I see her being. I really love April but he says that as she was born so close to April it would just be stupid and that her nickname would become 'Ape/Apes' Confused

She doesn't even look like either name tbh so I don't really know what to do. He likes Kiera and I think it's okay if spelt Ciara but still not 100% and he doesn't like it spelt like that as he thinks people will spell and pronounce it wrong.

So lost right now.

We both quite like Mollie (he hates the y spelling 🙄) but will she be Mols (sounds like moles???)

Help!!

April is lovely. No one will care what month she was born in and I'm alarmist certain no one will call her 'Apes'.

@Sugarpiehoneyeye thank you

@bridgetreilly ??? They're both pronounced the same... It's just one is the Irish spelling and 1 is anglicised???

@OvariesBeforeBrovaries Grin I'll get a pic 1 sec

I know it's nothing like your others, but what about Cleo?

The obvious thing to do is to show us a picture so that we can squeal in delight while our ovaries explode help you pick the right name for her Grin Congratulations on your new baby!

Kiera and Ciara aren't really the same name at all.

I think until you really start using her name, you won't feel it.
Why not try out Mollie for a day, and Kiara the next.
I've never heard of an April called Apes 😂
I do like Lily though.
Similar names ; Cara, Holly, Avril, Lyra/Lila.
