Do you think she would have to be born in April? Really loving this name but not due then, would that be weird?

I know an April born in May, a June born in June, a Summer born in winter and an Autumn born in spring Grin

ZebraKid71 · 26/09/2018 21:32

It's lovely - to be honest I'd only use it if she WASNT born in April. It's too twee for my liking if she was.

BakedBeans47 · 26/09/2018 21:25

April and Avril - both twee

This isn't of any is help to you at all but I used to work with an April, a May and a June 😁. Well it tickled me!!

Eleanor90 · 26/09/2018 20:27

Of course an April doesn’t have to be born then! It’s a well established name, fine to use whenever.

scottboy · 26/09/2018 19:56

Not keen on the name but I wouldn't think she'd have to be born in April!

RavenWings · 26/09/2018 19:51

Haha! I've commented on this already but forgot Grin So a double thumbs up from me, I guess.

RavenWings · 26/09/2018 19:51

I think it's really pretty, personally. A lot better than all the Eva/Ava/Emily hordes anyway, it's memorable.

You can have a June not born in June, so an April not born in April sounds fine to me.

A friend of mine has an April not born in April. It seemed odd to me when I learnt the girl's name, but it's completely up to the parents, not outsiders to judge.

GraceMarks · 26/09/2018 18:56

I think it's nice, and it doesn't matter if it's not her birth month. As an aside I've often wondered why April, May and June are considered perfectly acceptable names but none of the other months are (I know there's January Jones but I think that's just her!). I think July is quite nice for a girl!

Bigfishylittlefishy · 26/09/2018 18:48

My April was born in December. No one ever asks what month she was born in. She was however conceived in April but that was just a total coincedence, we just happened to love the name.

She's nearly 7 now and I have never come across another one!!

Aprilshowerswontbelong · 22/02/2018 09:00

I have known 2 June's. I born June and one born August!!

HuskyMcClusky · 22/02/2018 00:58

Really?! Genuinely surprised. Wouldn’t occur to me that an April/May/June was necessarily born in their name month. I just think of them as names.

DramaAlpaca · 22/02/2018 00:55

I'd think it was odd if she wasn't born in that month tbh.

HuskyMcClusky · 22/02/2018 00:47

Oh yes, please not Avril!

Buntysoven · 21/02/2018 22:47

Pretty name. I think it's less twee if she isn't born in April.

Avril is horrible. Makes me think of Bovril.

littlebillie · 21/02/2018 22:36

Avril is nice too

windchimesabotage · 21/02/2018 22:36

I like April and Avril and I dont think you would need to be born in that month. I love month names. Apparently November is starting to be used as a girls name... think that is lovely!

Foxedme · 21/02/2018 22:34

I teach a sweet little girl called April, it's really made me like the name. I don't think she was born in April though.

TulipsInABlueVase · 21/02/2018 22:29

Yes, she would have to be born in April! I think it's crazy to use it for a baby not born in April.

RavenWings · 21/02/2018 19:30

Love it.

MikeUniformMike · 21/02/2018 13:31

or if your surname is May

Aprilshowerswontbelong · 21/02/2018 10:44

Lovely unless your surname is Showers!! Grin
