Tricksy

ZenKaleidoscope · 01/04/2022 22:52

Summer

AlexDrake1981 · 01/04/2022 22:50

I really like the name Lyra but only had boys, so could never use it. Congratulations, she’s absolutely beautiful Smile

Vivi0 · 01/04/2022 22:50

Congratulations, she’s perfect!

Dotty is my favourite of all the suggested names. Then either Violet or Fleur - but definitely Dotty.

BuanoKubiamVej · 01/04/2022 22:49

I would go for the opposite of fool.

So -

Sophia

  • means "Wisdom"
Thewishingchair123 · 01/04/2022 22:46

Congratulations, she’s beautiful. Aurora means ‘dawn’ which works well for a spring baby - also Aurelia.
I think flower names like Iris or Rose feel a nice fit too for the start of spring.

ODFOx · 01/04/2022 22:45

Congratulations!
She is so gorgeous and looks so 'knowing' in that second photo I'm going left field and suggesting Athena or Minerva (Greek or Roman Goddess of wisdom).

Diversion · 01/04/2022 22:43

No name suggestions, but she is absolutely adorable! Congratulations!!

Flippy87 · 01/04/2022 22:35

April.

Made me think how Spring isn’t a name, but summer, Autumn and Winter are.

sammyjoanne · 01/04/2022 22:35

congratulations :) martha is a lovely name, and also Daisy

Pieceofpurplesky · 01/04/2022 22:32

You named her in your OP. She's Dotty

Mummyoflittledragon · 01/04/2022 22:29

Congratulations 😍 she’s so lovely and already looking so alert and strong.

Fleur - she looks like a little flower
Avril - after the month and it’s a fab name
Astrid - she’s divinely beautiful
Celeste - she’s heavenly
Etoile - she’s your perfect star

WeasilyPleased · 01/04/2022 22:26

Congratulations OP. She is a real cutie! I immediately thought Jocasta (Joke Asta for April fools day) but I do like the suggestion of Dorothy nn Dot.

HereWeGoAgain322 · 01/04/2022 22:19

Congratulations mama. She is beautiful ❤
She looks like a little Lillie or a willow.

Queenbee77 · 01/04/2022 22:17

Aprilis is latin for April. Or the Italian is Aprile. Just a little diffrent.

FrankLeeSpeaking · 01/04/2022 22:09

Congratulations! She's beautiful
If you don't like April, but want an April themed name, you could consider Daisy (Birth flower for month of April)

Andacherryonthetop · 01/04/2022 22:05

She’s so cute! I like the idea of Daisy and the link with April. I would also use April as middle name if you wanted to use it. Other ideas:
Pixie
Lia
Eira (welsh for snow and it’s been a snowy start to April!)
Lottie
Eloise
Elodie
Mia
Eva
Belle
Natalia
Rosie

DuggeeHugPlease · 01/04/2022 22:05

She's gorgeous!

She looks like a Mollie to me.
I also like Erin, Florence and Eleanor

ManifestingMaureen · 01/04/2022 22:02

@narcdad

Congratulations

I'd call her Norman

Avril Camellia

devildeepbluesea · 01/04/2022 22:00

Gaia? Pagan equivalent of Maia. Possibly. Still a lovely name.

Congratulations!

Lastsecondfail · 01/04/2022 21:59

P.s.

She is gorgeous!

What did she weight?

Did everything go okay?

FoldedCard · 01/04/2022 21:59

Thalia was the Greek Muse of comedy.

Lastsecondfail · 01/04/2022 21:58

DS suggests Eliza

I think Meredith or Azalia
