They are a bit boring

Emma - LOVE this name, even though it's popular it's not super popular now.
April - Nice name, it'd be a bit tacky if she was born in April and named this, so I actually think it's better for babies not born in April.
Lily - Cute, a bit boring and meh

April Emma Lily runs together nicely. Love April. Not so wild about Emma as there were about seventy million of them at my school when I was a kid.

In order of preference

Emma
April
Lily

In your order x

Fifthtimelucky · 05/04/2018 22:06

I only really like Emma, and think it would be very odd to call a child April unless they were actually born in April.

Emma
April
Lily

Love all 3!
Emma most classy and i bet it's become a lot less used in the last few years.
April very pretty, and uncommon yet 'normal'.
Lily also very pretty but a bit overused, so in your shoes I'd pick either of the other 2!

Emma is my favourite name - I couldn't use it as I had boys.

Sweetie? . Sweet*

@pixel

And thanks for the sweetie tip off! Will have to give them a go.

DanceDisaster · 05/04/2018 20:57

I really like Florence but not Violet.

Argeles · 05/04/2018 20:56

April, although I personally prefer Avril.

Lily.

I really dislike the name Emma.

Mol1628 · 05/04/2018 20:53

Emma. Lovely name for a baby, child, teen and adult.

Don’t like the others at all.

Theyhaveallbeenused2 · 05/04/2018 20:52

Emma. Lily april

bridgetreilly · 05/04/2018 20:52

Just saw your latest post. I much prefer both Violet and Florence to Lily or April. I think I like Emma just as much as Violet or Florence.

bridgetreilly · 05/04/2018 20:51

Emma
Lily
April (I really don't like this).

daisypond · 05/04/2018 19:28

I like April the most. Emma is fine - classic. So is Lily. I know a few Lilys, in their 20s now, and some have changed their name because they think it lacks gravitas - so something to think about. I like Florence, too - but again - it's probably at the end of that Victorian curve now. I really dislike Violet - tiny weed - not a name to wish upon your daughter.

Pixel99 · 05/04/2018 19:19

OP - what about Primrose? - although it is increasing in popularity I believe

Pixel99 · 05/04/2018 19:16

Sorry and thank you Dance Disaster this Emma is in her late 30's and I am sorry to be so anti a name. She has to accept some blame she knew he was married and was married herself. On another note I have responded on another thread to you - the one about chocolate / sweets. Have you tried the new veggie M&S Colin and Connie the Caterpillar? Seriously good.

Greenhouseonthehill · 05/04/2018 19:06

I really like Violet and Florence, much more than you’re other choices (nice as they are).

How about:
Beatrice
Emmeline
Alice
Iris (I have one)
