Molly

April is fab. Molly is overused and makes me think mole-y.

Molly

Molly

My dog was Molly, but still like it for humans.

I personally knew three Aprils and they were all weird.

But don't let me stop you!

Molly Daffodil

April

Molly, if I had to choose.

I don’t get the love for April, I think it’s really harsh sounding.

mathanxiety · 25/07/2021 23:18

I don't really like either.

All the Aprils I knew were called Ape.
Molly is the name of a drug.

HermioneKipper · 25/07/2021 23:17

Definitely Molly! Molly Weasley is my fave character in Harry Potter!

championofdance · 25/07/2021 23:14

I love April, I don’t think it matters much if she wasn’t born in April.

Germolenequeen · 25/07/2021 23:14

Molly was one of my lost babies - love it 💗

Gertie75 · 25/07/2021 23:11

April, if you call Molly over the park you'll get several cockapoos running to you.

April is gorgeous
Not too keen on Molly

17caterpillars1mouse · 25/07/2021 22:12

Definitely April. I've met quite a few young Molly's and none of them have been particularly nice

Youreacockarentyou · 25/07/2021 22:10

Thank you all!

Such mixed opinions! 😬 I keep changing my mind reading your comments! There really is no front runner, maybe I’ll just have to wait till she’s here and see what she looks more like?!

Shes not going to be born in April, but I prefer it that way personally i think it would be a bit twee if she was!

Molly, but I’m terribly biased. Also you can shorten Molly to Mol, but you can’t really shorten April.

April

rishisboater · 25/07/2021 21:31

April. I don't get Molly, I always think of the drug

Lockdownbear · 25/07/2021 21:26

Is Molly short for something?

April I'm another who thinks it only works if the baby is born in April, same with June.

myrtleberry · 25/07/2021 21:25

I like April but I prefer Avril

Lnix · 25/07/2021 21:24

Molly
