*of that name

I vote for Emma, but I do have a dd if that name, so I would say that! We chose it because it’s timeless, classic and travels well. It also is less common than you’d think. Our Emma has never had another one in any nursery group / play group / activity. I have actually never met another baby or toddler named Emma. Loads of Emilys and Emilias though.

I like Lily and April too. All nice options.

PS: sorry to hear about your break up / divorce @pixel. Some men are total fuckers aren’t they? Dd is only 3yo, so definitely not the OW!

I loathe the name Emma (sorry she was the OW - although if you are reading this you were one of many!). I know of other Emma's who have been the OW as well. It doesn't have nice associations for me. I think Lily is very poplar especially when used with other names ie Lily-Mai etc. Is your surname long or short? I like April though. You seem to like classic names so what about Rose, Florence or Iris. A lot depends on your surname and how will it roll of the tongue as it were.

April
EMma
Lily

Doesn't matter if she's born in April or not. But if it bothers you then it does matter iyswim.

Emma, lily, April.

It doesn't really matter but she may get mildly irritated at people asking her

littlepill · 05/04/2018 16:49

Just to add, don’t think it matters that’s she is not born in April. I really like Avril, too...

littlepill · 05/04/2018 16:47

I really like April! It’s short but different and reminds me of blooms and loveliness! Next up Emma, but it’s such a different style. Not keen on Lily, sorry!

Kate123cl · 05/04/2018 16:42

@happydadpp I don't think it makes any difference :) I know loads of people called June born in different months!

thanks guys, so April and Emma seem to be the favourites here. Do you think it matter she's not born in April? That's making me hesitant to use it

Emma.

Lily is ok but overused.
April is a name I've always loathed but can't explain why.

HugMeBringItIn · 05/04/2018 14:54

April, easy to pronounce, not wacky, probably be the only one in school which is a bonus.

Emma, bit boring but a classic. Only know one child called Emma who is 8.

Lily, snoozeville. Know about 6 so they all have be called Lily T, Lily M etc.

Kate123cl · 05/04/2018 14:52

I'm really not keen on Emma for some reason Confused I like April the most and then Lily second until people start using Lilith lol x

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 05/04/2018 14:51

Aimee. Louisa. Lilıa. Leah. Eva. Evelyn.
Erin. Abigail. Alexandra.

April
Emma

Lily.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 05/04/2018 14:50

I'vÉ™ gone from despising the name April to falling in love with it. However I do think there has to be a connection to the month to use it.
I go hot and cold on Lily. I detested it the other day. I quite like it today.Grin.
I think it's one of those depends who has it names. Gorgeous on some. Horrible on others.
You can't fault Emma. Cute for a child. Cool for teenager. Powerful and strong for an adult. Belongs in every class. (Middle working upper).
